bilby commented on the word enthalpy wheel
"To further reduce wind pressure against the tower, there are also apertures placed at regular intervals in the curtain wall. As well as letting the wind through, these vents will also house air intake and exhaust systems on mechanical floors - and provide an out of view place to hide window-washing systems. The ventilation systems will also include rotary air-to-air enthalpy wheels - also known as thermal wheels - to capture energy from the building's exhaust systems and use it to pre-heat or pre-cool air entering the building."
