RE-IMAGINE the Possibilities with
Natural Terracotta
Dear readers,
With great pleasure, we bring you the latest edition of the Make A Difference
Asia magazine.
In this issue, we continue our highlights on the wide applications of Hunter
Douglas NBK Architectural Terracotta panels and request that you RE-IMAGINE
the possibilities with terracotta building materials.
AROUND ASIA
Project name:
Niagara Industrial Equipment Corp. Building, Philippines
Founded in 1968, Niagara has more than 30 years of experience in
making quality fans and blowers.
Architect:
Eduardo S. Casares Architects and Associates, Philippines
Niagara has a wide range of ventilation products which are
suitable for various applications ranging from general ventilation,
kitchen exhaust system and building ventilation requirements; to
various industrial processes like dust collection, painting booth
exhaust, fans for ovens, high pressure blower for combustion
air, for burner systems and even fans suitable for corrosive
applications.
Terracotta is manufactured from 100% natural raw materials. As we look more
towards environmental protection and sustainability, this is a building material
that will certainly contribute towards a more green and sustainable environment.
Products:
1. NBK Architectural Terracotta Facade 22mm Tile
2. Baguette 50 x 50
The rainscreen and sunscreen components of the NBK Architectural Terracotta
panels provide major benefits in the thermal performance of buildings due to
their UV resistance and "back ventilation" properties, which assist in maintaining
a dry cavity that relieves buildup of hot air.
Year of completion:
2015
One of the latest project to be clad in terracotta is King Abdullah University
of Science and Technology (KAUST) in the newly-developed town of Thuwul,
Saudi Arabia. Covering 6.5 million square feet, KAUST is the largest project to
be clad in terracotta."It was important to me that a public building in a public
place ages gracefully," said Architect Ernst Mayr. "Therefore materials such
as sheet metal and granite were ruled out from the start. Terracotta offers
several advantages. Although the building is self-contained and also highly
monumental, the use of terracotta means that the overall visual effect is not
brutal. I also didn't want a building in grey, but a colour that radiates warmth
and friendliness. In this case, the light terracotta colour is ideally suitable."
The 26-building campus was developed by multiple design teams at globally
renowned architectural firm.
Description:
Niagara Industrial Equipment Corporation is a leading manufacturer
of commercial and industrial fans and blower in the Philippines.
Alex Hilario, Country Head, Philippines Rep Office, added, “NBK
Architectural Terracotta facades have opened up a completely new
dimension in façade design and has been embraced by architects
around the world for outstanding versatility, design flexibility and
building performance characteristics.”
Its longevity and sustainability, along with its energy-related and environmentally friendly
characteristics guarantee Terracotta a secure position in the construction sector

In this issue we would also like to introduce an innovative solution that combine
our QuadroClad® honeycomb and NBK Architectural Terracotta ventilated
façade systems with the new, ultra-efficient AirFlow™ technology to save
energy, reduce capital costs and to improve indoor air quality to exceed green
building standards.

So open your mind, and RE-EXPLORE and RE-IMAGINE the possibilities of
terracotta and build a greener and more sustainable environment for all!
Yours sincerely

The Use of NBK Architectural Terracotta, a Case Study on Central Saint Giles, London
NBK Architectural Terracotta's colourful, glazed ceramic
facade elements enabled world famous architect Renzo
Piano to create exciting new architectural designs
“Terracotta is really a modern version of brick,
and we felt this material would work well with
the surrounding buildings. The surrounding brick
buildings have a certain depth and we wanted to
pick up on that by creating a cladding system with
bespoke extrusions that would create different
effects – we didn’t want a flat surface.” - Maurits
van der Staay, Project Architect with Renzo Piano
Building Workshop (RPBW)
Located between Oxford Street and Covent Garden,
Central Saint Giles, a London commercial and housing
scheme designed by Renzo Piano, has been attracting
attention ever since its glazed ceramic facades in tiles
of red, orange, yellow, green and grey began to appear
back in May 2010.
The project team comprised Stanhope, Legal &
General and Mitsubishi Estate as developers; RPBW as
architects, Fletcher Priest as executive architects and
Arup as structural, services, fire and transport engineers.
The ground floor glazing parts were built by Seele, whilst
the ceramic and glass facades were built by Schneider
Group. NBK supplied the terracotta elements.
Central Saint Giles is not a completely new construction,
but a large brownfield redevelopment. The land was
formerly occupied by a dull Ministry of Defense building.
The new mixed-use space includes 40,000m2 of offices
and 9,500m2 of housing - 100 apartments – set around a
new public square filled with cafes and restaurants. The
transparent ground level of the building adds a feeling
of permeability at street level, allowing passersby to see
through and into the site, accessible by five pedestrian
entrances leading into the public piazza.
Renzo Piano has designed 20-set multi-story front
facades, in bright coloured planes set at angles, which
create a stunning play with colours. Rarely a place for
working and living was accompanied with so much
architectural vitality. Office space in the project won
the British BREEAM "Excellent Class" rating. BREEAM
(Building Research Establishment Environmental
Assessment Methodology), first published by the
20 • Make A Difference ASIA
Make A Difference ASIA • 21
Building Research Establishment (BRE) in 1990, is
the world’s longest established method of assessing,
rating, and certifying the sustainability of buildings.
More than 250,000 buildings have been BREEAM
certified, many in the UK and others in more than 50
countries around the world.
Design Goals
The original building was a very humble building, being
occupied by the Ministry of Defence. Through a strong
visual of colours, it was hoped that this neglected area
of central London could be regenerated and prosperity
be once brought to this region.
The main design objectives include :
● To strengthen the potential of the area through a two
prong approach of strengthening its local presence
as well as importance to the city
● Intensive locale activities, reasonable distribution of
the buildings, respecting and complementing the
neighbourhood
● Through utilisation, improve the surrounding public
spaces
● To elevate the surrounding environment through a
careful selection of colours and detailing
● The building must not only meet current living
standards but must be future-proof and sustainable
as well.

Innovative New Product Solutions AirFlow Panels
Pre-Launch of NBK Interior Wall Panel System
High energy cost. Stale air. Sick building syndrome. These are some
of the problems typically faced by developers, building owners and
consultants.
Rear view of AIRFLOW Panel exploded axonometric
will also help to reduce the capacity hence cost of the air conditioning
system by between 7 to 10%.
Breathe Fresh - The AIRFLOW Panel helps to improve the indoor air
quality by eliminating most of the mould-forming moisture.
Front view of AIRFLOW Panel exploded axonometric
“Not anymore,” declared Mr. John E. Breshears, President and CEO of
Architectural Applications. Mr. John E. Breshears is a registered architect
and mechanical engineer in the Unites States. He is the inventor of the
AirFlowTM Panel.
The newly developed green building product, AIRFLOW Panel, was
funded by the prestigious ARPA - E program of the US Department
of Energy with collaborative support from ARUP, Lawrence Berkeley
National Laboratory, and the ETH - Zurich. The AIRFLOW Panel works
as an Energy Recovery Ventilation (ERV) membrane-based heat and
moisture heat exchanger. It is integrated within the NBK terracotta and
QuadroClad honeycomb walls’ ventilated rainscreen cavity.
Stay Healthy - As the mould-forming moisture is eliminated, this will help
to reduce sick building syndrome and improve the building occupants’
health.
Sustainability - AIRFLOW panels help to meet green building energy
codes and certification standards like USA’s LEED certification and
Singapore’s BCA Greenmark certification.
Increased Leasable Area - The use of AIRFLOW panels enable building
owners to reclaim leasable floor space due to a reduction in the
centralised ventilation pathways.
“What we have done is to take two existing facade lines from Hunter
Douglas, namely NBK terracotta and QuadroClad honeycomb ventilated
facade systems, combine each system with the Airflow technology, to
create two new building system solutions, each based on either NBK
terracotta and AIRFLOW panels or QuadroClad and AIRFLOW panels.”

Benefits of using the NBK Interior Wall Panel
System include:
- Each panel is individualised and can
be removed and changed individually,
making it easier for maintenance
- Appearance is neat with joint gaps of
only 5mm complete with integrated
black PVC central spacer
- The support system is fully adjustable
to suit site installation
- The tiles are able to withstand impact
and can dampen vibration due to
integrated EPDM rings
- Fixing clip includes stopper hook to
prevent panel uplift / drop off during
vibrations (e.g. moving trains),
- New fixing clip accommodates for 2 x
panels reducing number of fixing clips
required
- Cavity gap behind allows for concealed
services and easy accessibility for
maintenance
- Open ventilated joints allows for
moisture / humidity from substrate to
expel from cavity
To see how the panels can be integrated
into the buildings’ common spaces, please
contact our offices in Asia.
How AIRFLOW Panels work
A polymer-based membrane permeates moisture and conducts heat
between the incoming and outgoing ventilation airstreams. Integrated
within the wall panels, these membrane exchangers have a large surface
area for ultra-high performance without taking valuable floor space.
Key Benefits and What It Means for the Users
Save Energy - The Energy Recovery Ventilation (ERV) membrane-based
heat and moisture heat exchanger is designed to remove heat and
humidity before the air enters the HVAC system. This will help to save
between 25 to 50% on the air conditioning energy. The AIRFLOW Panel
Traditionally, NBK terracotta panels
have been designed for outdoor usage.
Expanding its use indoors, NBK Interior
Wall Panel System is a new attractively
priced patented glazed terracotta system
developed exclusively for the interior walls
in pedestrian walkways and areas such as
MRT, underground stations, airports and
shopping centres.
