Background
The Microsoft Campus in Herzliya is a 45,000 m² office building. Its design combines indoor and outdoor space, connecting all floors through stepped external terraces, with ground-floor and roof gardens and many areas for relaxation, sport and leisure. Sustainable features include a high-performance double-skin façade with automatically controlled blinds, solar PV, and high-efficiency HVAC; AC condensate is reused for irrigation. Cycling is encouraged via a dedicated path to a large bicycle store with showers, changing rooms and e-bike charging. Completed in 2020 and awarded LEED V4 Gold; also achieved a 3-star Fitwel rating. Alfa provided energy, sustainability, LEED and Fitwel consulting.
