Use of PBM Ventilation Blocks
PBM’s concrete vent blocks were used strategically to enhance both performance and façade articulation:
VB 1905.100, VB 303.125, VB 306.125, and VB 606.125 were installed at various locations including:
•Car park screening walls
•Utilitarian balconies on the rooftop
•Extensive external window panels
These ventilated features help regulate interior temperature, reduce glare, and promote natural cross-ventilation. Their varied shapes add texture, rhythm, and light-play across the tower’s elevation, aligning with UNA’s vision of an energy-conscious vertical community.
