                Nurol GYO constructed Nurol Tower coherent with the criteria
                of GOLD level on the category of LEED C&S which is the most   Water Productivity
                well  known  and  acceptable  green  construction  certificate.
                Nurol Tower was designed and constructed to prevent      The less water consuming and the most suitable plants

                reduce the carbon emision and the costs of the management    100% saving was aimed by using the rain water and the
                expenses that may occur during the operation of the building and    condensing waters of the cooling system for the irrigation of
                minimize the operational costs through the strategies and   the plants instead of the city water. Up to 40% water saving
                systems that were used.                                  was aimed by using less water consuming, efficient faucets and
