The building will be heated and cooled by geothermal means. The heat will be provided to the floors by a series of pipes creating a radiant heating system, and cooling will be provided by a plenum that encircles the entire floor. It is covered by a grate flush with the floor so no obstructing radiators are needed.
The standard pipe layout is seen here:
The systems are hidden within the floor slabs and air is pushed through the plenum from the mechanical shaft. Vents will also be provided within the bathrooms.
The space schedule shows that the theatre, conference room, and café have no air supplied, but the idea for those is that the air is being supplied around the perimeter plenum.
