Buro Happold Corporate Structures Buro Happold is a Partnership, which was originally set up by Professor Sir Ted Happold on 1 May, 1976 and today comprises 50 partners. This partnership model gives us the independence to make clear decisions about the direction of the business, determining the firms objectives in a way that is socially responsible and corporately sound. The founders chose to create a Partnership because this best reflected the core characteristics of the firm a pool of peoples different talents that as a whole is greater than the parts, and who share any profits and losses made. As a practice, Buro Happold engages in the engineering, design, management and supervision of construction projects throughout the world. The practice undertakes most aspects of civil and structural engineering, environmental physics and services engineering as well as specialist consulting services. For operational reasons, the Partnership has created two non-trading services companies, Buro Happold Engineers Ltd (BHEL) and Buro Happold International Ltd. These two operating companies each own subsidiaries that are the trading companies with which our clients engage.

The RWE Building in Essen is a 162m tall tower, comprising a 120m tall main building of 29 storeys and an additional 35m aerial. The building was designed with a cylindrical plan, to allow the maximisation of natural ventilation and light to all internal spaces, while minimising the outer surface to consume the least energy. A double-skin facade concept was adopted primarily for building physics considerations to work with a mixed-mode environmental strategy, as well as to give a look of transparency. The construction of the double-skin wall comprises an inner double-glazed facade, consisting of floor-toceiling height aluminium framed windows which are openable. The ventilation concept for the wall relies on mechanically controlling the passage of external air through air inlets, which are located on each floor level and exhausted through air outlets, which are similarly located on the floor zone above. These inlets/outlets take the form of what the designers termed fish mouths. These were designed to prevent the passage of driven rain into the cavity, while at the same time providing sufficient ventilation. Additionally, these had to restrict the passage of sound in a vertical direction. The energy consumed by the building is estimated to be some 3035% less than for an equivalent conventional building which utilises a double-glazed single-skin facade. With such a highly transparent facade, acrophobia problems were predicted. But it has been reported that despite the absence of a handrail in the design, the depth of the facade eliminates the risk of such problems for occupants.
