The bank produces its own power by 1.2 MW gas turbine backed-up by two separate diesel generating sets. The heat recovery system insured that the heat produced thus is used to operate the chillers for the central air conditioning system thereby achieving an unprecedented level of power / energy consumption.

6 high speed Elevators with a unique call system which identifies, allocates and assigns each passenger to a particular elevator to optimize their wait and travel time.

Double insulated glazing to reduce heat loss by upto 30 % and reduce noise level significantly. The glass used is specially tempered to increase strength 5 times, eliminating the risk of damage.
