The Asia Financial Centre and AIIB Headquarters is a high-standard office building for international financial institutions. Aiming at providing high quality space for work and communication, a series of open and shared space are introduced into the indoors, creating a green, interactive and shared internal and external environment. Its architecture design integrates advanced building design, construction, operation and maintenance technologies in various aspects including indoor environment, air quality, ecological intelligence, energy conservation, etc. and innovates in exploratory practices on building quality control, advanced construction, and intelligent operation and maintenance. It is the first large-scale public building project to receive China’s Three Star Green Building Label, LEED Platinum certification, and DGNB Platinum certification (pending), raising the bar for green buildings in China.
The building was completed and operational only three years after the design was initiated. Multiple advanced architectural solutions are integrated in this project, including a BIM-based Digital Design System, an Integrated Prefabricated Building System, a Large Space-Oriented Advanced Construction System, a Scientific and Effective Fire Fighting System, a Smart Eco Skin System, a High Standard Green Building System, as well as an Intelligent and Efficient Operation and Maintenance System. The building is a synergy of all these systems with efficient operation and high performance in physical characteristics such as temperature, humidity, illumination, pollutants, light, heat, wind and sound.
