The customer is the state-owned oil and gas company Pertamina, an important player not only in the Indonesian, but also in the global energy market. However, it is committed to demonstrating its commitment to green technologies, and its 99-story headquarters in the new Rasuna Epicentrum area should help it.
The total area of the tower and the surrounding buildings - a pavilion with an exhibition hall and an auditorium for 2,200 seats, a mosque and a central power station - will amount to 495,000 m2. There will also be gardens and squares, with all parts of the campus being united by an “energy tape” - a covered passage.
The top of the tower opens like a flower: a “wind funnel” arranged there will catch the winds of the prevailing directions and, using their high speeds at a height of half a kilometer, generate electricity.
The skyscraper's streamlined volume is designed with the angle of incidence of sunlight, typical of Jakarta, located near the equator: this will help reduce overheating of the facade and save resources needed to cool the interior. Also, this task is served by external blinds, which protect the premises from the sun's rays, while providing them with optimal natural light.
