Upgrade of Indoor Air Quality and Cooling System at Headquarters
ADB Headquarters Today

To ensure that the building's indoor air quality complies with international standards, ADB's Office of Administrative Services (OAS) has upgraded the air-conditioning facility.

In March 2006, a new outside air supply system has been installed at the roof deck and booster water pumps at the basement increase cooling water circulation to provide better cooling comfort and better quality of air to staff.

Air flushing is also being done once a week for the whole building to keep the indoor air fresh.
