Reports on Greater London Authority (GLA) building project, highlighting the challenge of combining an innovative design with environmental control. Emphasises the benefits of using computer modelling to calculate solar gain, outlines how the building features a mixture of natural ventilation and air-conditioning, and explains the energy efficient heating system. Although some are sceptical that the GLA building will not fulfil its environmental objectives, the project managers are confident that it will achieve an 'excellent' BREEAM rating.
