Heavy foliage trees planted along west side to obstruct sun rays and cast dense shadows to reduce heat gain.
Exposure to nature has given the workers psychological and physiological benefits. Providing green spaces, water features, abundant plants and natural materials helps reduce a development’s carbon footprint and regulating the temperature of buildings. It also promotes healthier work environment with less stress and higher productivity.

Shade the office and courtyard, protect all outdoor areas from hot afternoon sun, usable during anytime of the day to encourage outdoor activities.
Canopy Roof G l a s s louvers installed at the internal space in courtyard to allow for natural ventilation.

With the canopy roof, the roof garden serves as a double insulation to cool down the office below. Provides direct garden access for every floor.
Sawtooth roof, pointed North with a slight 22.5°C to allow diffused sunlight into the manufacturing area while elimininating the glare and heat. Repetitive to ensure every corner is lit up as the floor plan is deep. Creating a comfortable indoor space with visual comfort.

Current factory
Paramit Factory, also named as the Factory in the Forest. The factory respond to the local climates, maximizing the contact of workers with nature by green, breeze, scent, sound and touch. The nature landscape benefits the workers psychologically and contribute to improvement in workers’ well being and level of productivity. Ecological working environment and outdoor living in tropical climate can be promoted even in a factory. With all the green strategies, Paramit Factory is able to save 40% more energy than the old factory and even save more the estimated energy usage.
C OM PARA T IVE ANA L Y S IS Daylighting

Both buildings use chilled floor slab to cool the inerior. Paramit focus on cooling the manufactoring spaces integrate with the low emissivity ceiling maximises thermal stratification and reduces the cooling loss by radiation from the cooled floor
Paramit create microclimate to cool the building, concept of “forest factory”. While Amherst focus on biophillic integration such as soil infiltration and rainwater haversting. Both buildings uses soft landscape to recreate the relationship by having 50-72% direct view to the green.
Amherst’s west utilising full Low E curtain west facade provide main luminance of 63% daylight into the Commons and labotaries annually. While Paramit as tropical country depend on sawtooth skylight to illuminate deep manufacturing spaces.
Paramit focus on west & east wing shading by using oriented concrete fins while Amherst’s facade focus on inviting daylight at west facade while thermally insulate the east facade that is exposed to winter breeze.
CLIMATIC RE S PONS E & SI TE PLANNIN G The array of skylight generate electricity through photovoltaic panels. Its shape and materials afford acoustic control, and it radiantly heats during Winter winds and cools the commons during Summer.
The building is located at lowland regions therefore strong winds at winter is blocked by upland regions settlements, which leaves minimal winds access to the building which reduces the needs of wind protection.

The common area surrounded the building act as a triple volume of multistory atrium, created a central gap between the laboratory wing at the one end of common area, offered a cross ventilation to occurred and provided better indoor air quality in the building.
Stack Ventilation
CONCLUSION
The natural ventilation scheme windows able to open automatically at optimal time, allow induce of “stack effect”, hot air is ventilated upwards during warmer season, and it is able to collect heats for distributing the interior heat during winter.
Cross Ventilation
Displacement Ventilation
Recycled warm air and returning cooler air, creating convective air motion to cool the space. This allows a passive chilled beam to provide space cooling without the use of a fan.

Cascade Ventilati on
The cascade ventilation a cascade circulation system that recycles air from the offices and common areas into the labs, where it is vented out. The principle offers great potential for reducing operating costs. This approach facilitates installation and reduces the air exchange rate without reducing the quality of indoor air because fresh air is used more effectively.
Radiant Chilled Slab
With thousands of feet of piping connected to the building hydronic system through a series of manifolds, the activated slabs will further ensure thermal comfort in the space.
