Construction technology
Marathon Futurex has been constructed using the formwork technology of Sten (Spain) and Peri (Germany). It is an energy efficient structure with a full glass façade and modern elevation.
Marathon Futurex has a system to manage, maintain and secure the commercial premises through a Building Management System (BMS). BMS controls technical security features like CCTV, all electronic equipments, access control system, lift system, water and electronics management systems. The BMS system enables micro-check on all aspects of the building to ensure a secure environment to work.
Green architecture
Marathon Futurex is expected to get a gold rating from the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) for its eco friendly design concept and construction methodology. A solar envelope Design study identified changing thermal patterns throughout the year based on which the cooling of the building as been designed. The building façade is made of double-glazed, Low-e glass that lets in the light but cuts out the heat. During the construction phase materials like fly ash, micro silicon, low volatile organic compound paints, adhesives and other recycled resources have been used to ensure minimal environment damage. The orientation of the building reduces the need for artificial cooling thus conserving energy.
Marathon Futurex has more than 15 sky gardens with glass fences that act as heat barriers during the day. There is a rain water harvesting system and a captive sewage-disposal-plant that aims at zero discharge of water thus helping in water conservation when the building becomes fully functional.
