8 Amazing Green Buildings Of The World - 2015
 |
The Bullet Centre, built by the Bullet Foundation, a Seattle-based non-profit group focused on urban ecology, officially opened on Earth Day, 2013. It has been certified as one of 21 living buildings in the world, meaning the building produces as much energy as it consumes; Provides its own water supply, and processes its own sewage. Rooftop solar panels produce more energy than they consume. Two years after its occupancy, the building's energy efficiency is impressive; The building produces 60% more energy than it uses.
Commissioned by the Nonoffice Haupt Immobilise of Munich, Germany, and developed with support from the European-funded research group DIRECTION and the Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics. Nonoffice was awarded LEED Platinum certification - the highest rating issued by the organization for a building of its type. Nonoffice has a photovoltaic solar system that covers most of the building's roof, and its triple-glazed windows provide excellent insulation. Radiant heating and cooling systems combined with a complex district heating system in the basement keep energy use low and the interior comfortable. The building's internal courtyard design creates natural cross-ventilation and allows ample daylight in and out.

One Angel Square is the head office of the cooperative group housing. Built-in 2013, it received an "Excellent" Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Methodology (BREEAM) rating. Sustainable features of the building include a high-performance, double-skinned façade, earth tubes for heating and cooling, rainwater harvesting, and future-proof sensors that allow the construction a three to five-degree increase in summer temperature and a 30% increase in temperature. will help with prediction. in temperature. in the winter rain, It is an energy-in addition to building, creating surplus energy and zero fossil fuel by-products. One of the structure's detached sun-powered plan highlights is the southbound chamber.
The Shanghai Pinnacle is as of now the tallest structure in China and the second tallest structure on the planet. But its claim of being the 'world's greenest super high-rise is eye-opening. The design of the tower's glass façade, which completes a 120° turn as it rises, is intended to reduce the natural wind-borne waves of tall buildings by 24%. Thus the Shanghai Tower used 25% less structural steel than conventional designs for a tower of the same height. The double-layered insulating glass façade was designed to reduce the need for internal air conditioning and is made of advanced reinforced glass with a high tolerance to temperature changes.
Sky Studios in West London is publicized as 'the most feasible transmission studio'.Architects Arup Partners conceived of Sky Studios as more of an inner city than an average building. Sustainable innovations include a biomass-fuelled cooling, heating, and power plant, one of the UK's most giant urban wind turbines, which provides 90% of the facility's lighting, and a rainwater tank that feeds 100 percent of the building's surface. % supplies water. The facility was designed to capture every viable natural resource on the site and to radically reduce energy use. The CCHP plant provides enough green energy to significantly reduce a building's carbon emissions.

Crystal, a sustainable cities initiative by Siemens in London, offers a vision of a fossil fuel-free future. It is a fully-electric building that generates its own energy using solar power and ground source heat pumps. It stores electrical energy in a giant battery so that excess energy can be stored for use when the supply is low. The building includes rainwater harvesting, blackwater treatment, solar heating, and automated building management systems. The building's structural design, including its glass, provides additional insulation, earning it Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum and BREEAM Excellent ratings.
PNC Financial Services Group sees its new headquarters in Pittsburgh - PNC Plaza Tower. The "Breathing" design, created by the architecture firm Gensler, moves away from the traditional closed air-conditioned environment and allows employees access to daylight and fresh air in the 33-story glass tower. The façade will have operable doors and windows that allow fresh air into the building under optimum conditions. A solar chimney structure is another component of a passive system: it draws air in through open windows, not the air suction typically seen in a tall building, then the air travels across the floor, heating and Breathing out. roof shaft
