Chilled water air-handling units are used to cool patient areas. Chilled water is supplied via variable-speed pumps that are flexible enough to save energy when lower levels of cooling are needed. Heating is through radiators using low-temperature hot water.
The use of solar control glass and recessed windows contributes to a lower overall cooling load in an environment where ambient temperatures of around 40ºC are common.
Other services under Arup's responsibility included heating, ventilation and air conditioning; public health and fire.
