ENERGY THE SUSTAINABLE WAY


focusing on how the building/pavilion is going to be integrated into sites around STATES and regional areas a source of power should be integrated into the small compact building. the use of technology will be ideal for how the ideology behind the building is to be portrayed to the public.

exploring different ways for energy generation is hard due to the small scale of the building, the position it will generally have in a city and the space required for the systems to generate the energy needed.

types of energy generation.

  • solar energy
"photovoltaic systems"

The Greenpix Zero Energy Media Wall is the world’s largest color LED display, and has a self sustaining energy life-cycle. Harvesting sunlight collected during the day via photovoltaic solar cells, the wall uses stored solar energy to light up the LED’s for a spectacular nighttime show.

"solar electricity - passive solar heating + daylighting - solar process space heating + cooling"
Geothermal energy is the main power source for the City Hall, exchanging heat with the ground and water. Heat and cold inside of the building is maintained with a radiant floor and the help of a small boiler system on the roof that is only used sporadically. Ventilation occurs via the double skin, as well as the skylight which acts as a solar chimney. Altogether, this smart building has been estimated to have a 60% energy saving rating.

  • wind energy
wind turbines
"Small wind systems also have potential as distributed energy resources. Distributed energy resources refer to a variety of small, modular power-generating technologies that can be combined to improve the operation of the electricity delivery system." Department of Energy, 2011. 
  • combinations 
wind energy + solar energy = wind turbines built into a grid connected to photovoltaic cells.
