Its hot and humid climate is exploited to recycle water.
The conditioning system will provide dropping water, drops are produced by hot humid air hitting cooling condensing coils.
External air, combined with building cooling need, will produce a high condensation water quantity.
The building gathers this water in a special piping system that brings water to a tank at the base.
