Regeneration zone

Rainwater is harvested on the building roof and filtered for non-potable use to reduce freshwater demand.

Swales help to reduces runoff rates and volumes, and urban pollutants. The park also increases local natural biodiversity.

D

Road and sidewalk pavements are porous asphalt to allow for infiltration of stormwater into the ground as a flood mitigation strategy. This also eliminates contamination of stormwater in the urban sewage sysem

Swimming zone

Natural Swimming Pool for public use. Rainwater is collected and filtered by aquatic plants and microorganisms in the pool.

D

Road is pedestrianised with bicycle path and porous-paved sidewalk. Softscape helps to aid infiltration of stormwater runoff in ground. Road

Water is stored in space-saving horizontal water hogs placed in between floor slab and false floor on each level. The water storage volume on each level is dependent on the number of occupancy.

Sand filter tank on level 1

RAINWATER COLLECTION PROCESS Filtered water is stored in horizontal water hogs on each level

1 - Rainwater is collected through roof drainage pipes (copper pipes have disinfecting effect on water)

2 - Water is filtered in a sand filter tank placed in service room on level 1

3 - Via a pump, the filtered water is chanelled to the water hogs on each level

6 - Used water from the sinks is reused in the lowflush toilets.

5 - The water passes through another sand filter and UV filter located in the sink cabinet before it is used for washing.

4 - Water is stored in horizontal water hogs placed in between the floor slab and false floor. Water acts as a cooling agent for the building.

UV filter disinfects water

Low-flush toilets use recycled water from sinks

7 - Blackwater from the toilets flows to the district sewage line. 3

BUILDING EFFICIENCY TARGETS

AIM To create naturally ventilated offices and co-working space with annual Energy Use Intensity (EUI) that meets ASHRAE Medium Office Standard and Passivhaus standard. To establish an operative temperature within the range of adaptive thermal comfort temperature. STRATEGY Eliminate the use of conventional air-conditioning and ventilation methods. Use of passive cooling techniques through building fabric improvement and solar shadind devices. Since the building is located near to the river, the cool sea breeze helps to aid natural ventilation (day). At night, warm air from the land/building flows towards to river.

EUI is 173.02 kwh/m2/yr due to high cooling loads and inefficient building utilities. This is higher than the ASHRAE Medium Office Standard and Passivhaus standard. Monthly operative temperatures are in the comfort range due to conventional heating and cooling.

Step 2 Fans and pumps

EUI decreases by 64.8%. Cooling and heating loads become zero when the building operates on natural ventilation only. There is major overheating problem as there is no mechanical cooling and the east & west facade are heavily glazed without shading. Internal gain from lighting and equipment also contributes to high operative temperatures.

Step 3

Electricity Use Intensity (kwh/m2/yr)

Average Monthly Operative Temperatures (°C) 40

STEP 3 - Fabric Improvement EUI maintains when building fabric is improved while using natural ventilation. Monthly operative temperatures decrease, but there’s still a slight overheating problem from November - March. Recorded operative temperatures are slightly higher than adaptive operative temperatures.

STEP 4 - Passive Chilled Beam EUI increases due to fans/pumps loads and occsional cooling of water in the chilled beam pipes. The EUI is still below the Passivhaus standard. Monthly operative temperatures decreases significantly to well below adaptive operative temperatures in the range 22.11 °C-25.28 °C.

Recorded Operative Temperature - Step 3 Recorded Operative Temperature - Step 4

Adaptive equation for hot-humid climate

T(neutop) = 0.53*T(outmm) + 14.5 T(neutop) is indoor neutral operative temperature (°C) T(outmm) is monthly mean outdoor air temperature (°C) This equation predicts neutral operative temperatures of 24.9–31.2 °C
