Learnt what super low energy meant

How a building can be certified as super low energy

Was introduced to SLEB.sg and was fascinated seeing how many low energy buildings in SG and other countries (Wish I knew about the website sooner to use as precedent study)

# data[].attributes.body
To be shared next class (Thursday)

Tasks:

Background of Project/Site Analysis

Qns: What kind of building? When was it built? Features of super low energy in the building (brief)?

Features (Super Low Energy)

# data[].attributes.body
NEWPORT Residences/Plaza

Mixed-Use Development

Overhang shading devices

Glass/Shading

Sky terraces Gardens

allow natural lighting

reduce heat gain

Green Mark HW

High end project

Very ex

RND sustainable

SMART Home Features

Bathroom fittings (intelligent control systems - energy efficient)

High levels wise is good

For lower need to see the bathroom fittings if they fit

In SG, only solar energy feasible

Energy replacement - 30% of common facilities

SLE

Limited rooftop space, install BIPV (smaller elements in shading devices, now BIPV can integrate in windows (Fire safety concerned)

# data[].attributes.body
Modern, Eco friendly features (Solar panels on top)

SLE?

Environmentally responsible

Reduce carbon footprint,

Energy efficiency systems,

Sets new standard for green buildings,

Improved air quality ( more thermal comfort)

EV Charging station -

Run on sustainable energy sources

New building services

Vertical Systems

Energy efficient elevators

Lower energy usage & help transport efficiency

Use of filter

Filter out harmful particles you breath in

Replace chillers or air side in TP (suggestion)

Green facades

Regulates temperature

Make sure theres a purpose for green features

Large Windows -

Increase exposure to natural lighting

Bodyclock (Time of the day) Cadence rhythm

Was redeveloped from a old certis HQ

Build something that can be retrofitted

ICN

Centralized systems that controls HVAC, lighting and security (Real time adjustments)

# data[].attributes.body
Higher efficiency chiller plant

Lower kW/RT = Better energy efficiency

Photocell sensor

Turn lights off if ambient light surpasses threshold and back on if levels drops

Rain screens:

Gap between ext and building structure - drainage and ventilation

Research: Solar analysis on which TP has the most heat

BIPV Panels:

Serve as a solar energy generators + archi elements

Angled Facade

Twin digital platforming

Biophilic design

SMART IDD

Use water at a lower pressure

Rooftop: Greenery (Local plants: Adopt to climate)

Purpose: Sensory garden, Functions

The Gear

Natural ventilation: reduce reliance on aircon

Thermal buffer zones: Transition space between outside and space

Radiant cooling system

Water pipes embedded in ceilings/floors

Blue dots water cooling pipes:

Absorbs sensible heat

Clean and plain look

No fans needed for circulation

Lesser energy, save 50% electricity

Disadvantage:

Can get cold feet

Very expensive

Sky gardens:

Promote wellness of employees

Plants lower surrounding heat

Built at the east and west side

Double height (take up 2 floors):

Natural wind

Lesser use of mechanical ventilation

Use fans

Uses upcycled wood from fast growing trees

Combo of green roof and solar panels

Solar PV layout: Some spaces to maintenance

# data[].attributes.body
Multi-purpose: Flexible use

Rely on HVAC system

# data[].attributes.body
Combo of green roof and solar panels

Solar PV layout: Some spaces to maintenance, railing so ppl do not fall off

Reduce energy consumption by estimated 45%

Moldy bread at D's Delights

Situation: Daniel bought a loaf of bread from his neighborhood bakery.

Upon reaching home, Daniel discovered small dark green specs of mold of it.

The Problem:
Daniel returns to D’s Delights to request a refund but the bakery refuses,
insisting the bread was freshly made.
Daniel is now wondering what has caused the mold to grow and what he
can do about the situation

Reflection:

PBL is a way to identify and solve a series of problems as a team. We clarify those problems (ensure that everyone understands and figure out possible scenarios) , divide the task (facts, ideas, learning issues, action plan), and we share what we had found and create the solutions together. I find PBL useful as my teammates had very different ideas from me which made me fascinated as how one can think of such unique and possible scenarios. In the end, my group had created various ideas and action plan.

Good to show space layout before and after, and highlight the changes made if any.

Suggested changes can be change corridor to non-AC, add restorative or resting spaces, etc)

It is not clear the link to landscape, remmeber to include clear demonstration and small narrative whenever needed to explain the features implemented.
