Artificial light in the malls was dispersed by the use of floating ‘light boxes’ using printed fabrics with motifs Flow The shopper flow was determined by the strategic position of the major anchors and nationals and carefully determining the tenant mix in the project. Five entrances for a 65,000 GLA mall provide an entrance for every 13,000m2, which is an average number in shopping malls of this type. HVAC The major tenants are individually airconditioned in line with their own specific HVAC design criteria, by means of roof 60 top type air cooled air-conditioning units (ACPU’s). The ACPU’s all operate on R410A refrigerant gas and incorporate economy cooling and CO2 modulation functions with the tenants having the ability to control aspects of their air-conditioning systems via local remote control panels. The smaller line shops are air-conditioned by a combination of energy efficient R410A inverter type ducted split and ceiling mounted cassette units in combination with ducted, filtered fresh air systems. Individual ducted ventilation systems serve the public toilet areas. Matlosana Mall
