Azerbaijan participates for the first time in a Universal EXPO. The concept of his pavilion, on one hand exploit national identity and traditions and on the other the show the innovation that currently characterizes the country.
The Pavilion has also chosen to represent their wealth of biodiversity: Azerbaijan consist of nine of the eleven existing climates in the world.

– use of an innovative technology for the control of energy consumption that allows energy savings up to 20%;
– cooling system calibrated to the lower power consumption and the maximum use of natural ventilation of the building;
– use of low energy LED lamps;
– timber walls with the function of shading to reduce direct solar radiation ensuring controlled passage of natural light;
