Comprising a steel space frame, it is the largest ETFE clad structure in the world with over 100,000 mē of ETFE pillows that are only 0.2 mm (1/125 of an inch) in total thickness. The ETFE cladding allows more light and heat penetration than traditional glass, resulting in a 30% decrease in energy costs
