Detailed Information
External cover: Alcan Wall Cap 1,5
mm solid aluminum, together with aluminum moldings
and glass.
Moldings/glass: Molding in anodised
aluminum in natural color with laminated glass (6
+ 4 mm) of Al 120 4mm blue + colorless PVB butyral
+ 6mm crystal glass
Hydro-sanitary installations: The
system is served by Sabesp (São Paulo State
Basic Sanitation Company) through a 3.5 “ extension
as measured by a hydrometer.
The building has two distribution networks (part A
and B), with reducing pressure valves located on the
first basement. It has a reserve of 800 m3 in the
upper water boxes and 1000m3 in the water tanks. The
fire system has a reserve of 240m3, dividing portions
for fire hydrants and sprinklers.
Compressed-air reducing valves were installed in toilets
and kitchens in order to reduce the consumption.
Electrical installations: The building
is fed by a 20KV main cable and another one used as
back up and distributes energy in 380/220V to common
and private areas, through two sub stations located
on the first basement and on the 23rd floor. The sub
station located on the 23rd floor feeds the central
refrigeration network and the one located on the basement
feeds the remaining power load.
The building managers are responsible for the division
of consumption calculated by electronic meters installed
in each commercial room. The fee collection criterion
was established by the building administration.
The sub-station is made up of Siemens dry type transformers
and protected by Merlin Gerin SF6 circuit switches.
Emergency energy generator: The
Stemac of 563 KVA emergency energy generator, with
380/220V, provides: 50% of hall lighting, 100% of
lighting of stairs and escape routes, pressure pumps,
fire pumps, and security and building supervision
systems. In case of power failure the elevators return
to ground floor and then an elevator from the high
area and another from the low area, together with
two hydraulic elevators and the emergency elevator,
are supplied with energy.
Air conditioning: The building has
24-hour air conditioning system maintained by 2 Chiller
650 TR units and one 300TR,that provide cold water
to the fan-coils of the private areas using the primary/secondary
system.
The air-conditioned Pilotis areas on the 23rd floor
are controlled by the automation network that turns
the fan-coils on daily at 7:30 am and turns them off
at 6:30pm. Only previously scheduled fan-coils stay
on and will incur an extra charge to be shared monthly
-- according to the criterion established by the administration
-- after working hours, on Saturdays, Sundays, and
holidays.
The control network turns the fan-coils on and off
and controls the insufflation temperature through
2-way valves. It neither controls nor supervises the
VAYs or the room temperature of the private areas,
except for Pilotis. The VAYs are controlled by sensors
located in the air-conditioned areas; their maintenance
and control are the tenant’s responsibility.
The building administration is responsible only for
the fan-coils and related accessories and for the
outer air insufflation system.
The central network also controls which chiller will
be utilized, alternating between the 650TR and the
300TR, according to thermal load demand. At present,
the night load is very low, requiring use of a heat
exchange unit to keep the 300 TR chiller working.
Telecommunications: The construction is served
by the power company through 600 metallic pair cables
and there is no previous distribution to the floors;
the placement of the necessary cables is the responsibility
of each tenant.
The building has a central digital switchboard with
one extension for each commercial room and 25 extensions
for the administrative/operational area.
The building has no structured network for data communication.
Companies such as AT&T, Embratel, Metrored, etc,
that rent the space in the building to offer telecom
services and provide their own distribution by shafts
available for this purpose.
Access security installations: The access
of people into the building is controlled by dual
direction turnstiles installed on the entrances on
the ground floor and on the 1st basement, with five
on the low zone access and five on the high zone access,
on the ground floor and one on the 1st basement.
The access through the turnstiles by ratchets is gained
through a proximity card used by the joint owners
and visitors. On the way out, the visitors deposit
their cards on a box installed in two turnstiles in
each area. The authorization of visitor access follows
his or her registration in the reception area on the
Image Visitor software. After the authorization of
the unit to be visited, an access card is provided
to the visitor by one of the three registration stations
-- only during business hours. Before and after this
time period, the visitor is registered on a handwritten
spreadsheet and access is authorized by the security
guard through his own card.
The software that manages the access system is Winpack
Pro from Northen and is installed by Smart Landis
& Gyr company.
An access control system using the same technology
was installed in certain private areas, permitting
access to their doors.
The parking area access is controlled by ticket gates
using the same proximity card and is operated by Estapar.
CFTV:
The building is monitored by 80 color cameras installed
in the elevators, two external cameras, in the reception
area on the ground floor, halls of the ground-floor
low and high zones, operations network, reception
area in the basement, kitchen in the Mezzanine, sub-station,
helipad, loading and unloading area, generator and
two cameras for each hall from the 3rd basement to
the 23rd floor.
One of the external cameras has zoom and movement
control, allowing the monitoring of Paulista Avenue
and Haddock Lobo street. The cameras are distributed
among 5 multiplex; three analog with Time lapse monitors
and two digital.
The building does not have infra-red presence sensors.
The new digital systems have the movement sensor of
the video cards that prioritize the recording of the
cameras in which there is movement.
Special installations – building supervision:
The building control network has two supervision systems,
a fire detector and alarm and a second system that
monitors and controls the following equipment: air
conditioning for the floors (fan-coils only) and the
cold water network; lighting of common internal and
external areas, garage and external areas, ventilation
and exhaustion of garages and emergency stairs; pressure
pumps, serviced waters, hydrants and sprinklers, motor-generator
group for common areas; elevators.
The building has no built-in sound system.
Elevators: The building has 14
social elevators distributed in two zones -- low and
high.
The low zone services the ground floor to the 12th
floor and the high zone services the ground floor,
Pilotis and the 12th through the 22nd floor. The elevators
are modern, and equipped with micro-processors and
variable frequencies.
Since the building has no service elevators, two elevators
from each zone that serve the first basement, are
used to load and unload in hours pre-determined by
the administration. The building even has two hydraulic
elevators to serve the basements and ground floor,
one in each zone.
The building has an emergency elevator for exclusive
use in exceptional cases that serves the 3rd basement
up through the 23rd floor. Like the social elevators,
it is also micro-processor equipped.
The social elevators have visual communication system
provided by liquid crystal monitors that in addition
to offering users useful information, also displays
advertisements from clients that pay the condominium
for this service.
Number of parking places: Total
of 1300. The building users can use 396.
Boarding: The big rooms have 63X63X37 Luxalon Cell
honey comb-type removable boarding painted in white.
Floors: The original floor of the rooms is prepared
with plain cement with a slope to receive an elevated
floor. The toilets and kitchens are covered with ceramic
floors. The halls are covered with Corumba 200 mm
polished grey granite. The stairs are covered with
polished Granilite.
Walls: The salon walls have White
latex painting, on plasterboard + plaster coat + interior
coating. The walls of the toilets and kitchens are
covered with formica. The walls of the halls are covered
with Corumba 20 mm polished grey granite. The walls
of the stairs are covered with grey Fulget similar
to Corumba grey.
Lamps: The lamps are of high resistance with aluminum
mirror-backed reflectors with 2 electronic reactor
lamps of 32W.
The lighting of the rooms is controlled by the tenants
and divided into circuits.
Telecommunications Infra-Structure:
The building does not have structured cables. The
existing installations were distributed by companies
installed in the condominium that offer data communication
service, or by the tenants themselves who are responsible
for the distribution from the main switchboard, located
in the basement, through appropriate shafts.
