Description
In order to consolidate the workforce of Sammons Financial Group in a headquarters in central Iowa, a new office building had been constructed in West Des Moines. The building offers modern and comfortable workplaces for more than 1,600 employees on 20,000 m2. The six-story main building is situated on a 26-hectare property with lavishly landscaped outdoor spaces. The office floors are planned as a functional working environment, ideally equipped for collaborative and team-oriented interaction.
The project team chose SAGEGLASS® Harmony®, a smart glazing solution that eliminates glare and provides a precise daylight control with a natural seamless in-pane tint transition. The glass blocks up to 99% of the light and ensures excellent color rendering in the interior even when it is tinted. The infinitely variable tinting transitions can be controlled manually or intelligently via a building = management system. More than 3,000 m2 of SAGEGLASS® Harmony®, have been installed. As a result, the company was able to significantly reduce the demand for cooling in the building.
