A\u00a0new generation building management system continuously monitors and optimises performance. Intelligent DALI\/KNX LED lighting reduces electricity consumption, while photovoltaic panels generate renewable energy on site. Together, these measures transform BOTA into a Net\u00a0Zero Carbon, Paris Proof compliant workplace aligned with CRREM trajectories, the EU Taxonomy and demanding ESG objectives.<\/p>

Environmental performance is not treated as an added feature. It is embedded in the way BOTA is designed, operated and experienced.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n
