All of the expo halls are designed to be the same size and shape to simplify and expedite the construction process and minimize waste.

Natural ventilation is employed with the help of solar stack vents in the main hall to minimize mechanical cooling. Daylighting through large glass windows reduces the need for lighting.

The design of the expo center includes a number of green strategies. Solar panels on the large roof will provide power.

Finally, geothermal cooling through a district-wide central heat and power plant will use the ocean as a thermal sink.
