The breathing Wall design, seen in detail on next page was designed as part of a regenerative

system. The challenge was to find a structural system which fix into the floor to ceiling heights

which would be able to fix in ventilation displacement distribution systems, ventilation shafts, new

insulation and services. The facade system provides dynamic shading, as the algae react to the

sun: the stronger the sun, the faster the algae grow, providing more shading for the building. The

additional advantages are thermal insulation, acoustic insulation, and removal of CO2.

Delft Seminars on Building Technology (AR1A075) 2013/14-Q1/2 The Breathing Wall

Janine Dias 4346483

A.Structural design The original building design had an extremely tight floor to floor height of 3000mm. Ad-ditionally the structural system was an out dated heaving masonry system with beams up to approx. 900mm in depth and large concrete circular columns with a diameter of apex 990mm. The challenge was to find a structural system which fix into the floor to ceiling heights which would be able to fix in ventilation displacement distribution systems, ventila-tion shafts, new insulation and services. In order to maximise natural ventilation pathways within a level, structural column widths were minimized. Additionally window systems with double glazing and appropriate weather proofing and insulation were incorporated into the structural system. Therefore edge beams were pulled right to the exterior to hold the ven-tilation shafts and provide support for the floor system. A C profile steal edge beam has been used so that the floor system is able to sit within the edge beam, providing maximum support.

At first a truss system was trialled, as was a bubble deck increate floor system, however these to construction types were still quite large in depth and had several issue with trying to incorporate a in slab plenum for air distribution. Finally a hollow core floor system was chosen using the method of Slimline Steel Floor Solutions. Which allows for free move-ment of services within the floor slab, so that vents are not restricted to certain areas of the floor plate. This also minimizes the need for extra servicing along the exterior walls.

The steel floor construction was able to span large widths in order to provide column free spaces within the floor plate. There was also the opportunity to add a geothermal in-slab heating system. Which mean that heating could be provided in different zones depending on the functional use throughout the day and year. Similarly a chill beam cooling system was incorporated into the floor structure.

Lastly the floor plate was reorganised so that there was an introduction of a central atri-um. This aides with the circulation of natural ventilation, as return air leaves the building through the interior atrium walls and travels through to the solar chimney at basement level. This means that again the exterior walls can main free of services, and the slab depth can remain slim.

B. Construction design The research question for this part of the projects was how to maximise the use of com-ponents used the Erath Wind Fire strategy in order to provide shading, cooling, cooling, thermal comfort and energy production/consumption. This was done through a facade design which incorporated a double skin.

Algae facade “Smart material” are materials, material systems, and products that can be derived from them which behave not in a static but a dynamic way, they are responsive to external and internal conditions. The material surface can itself become a medium carrying energy and information. The cells and placed in an easy nap in snap out frame, so that the harvesting and cleaning of each element is easy.

The Algae facade to fitted on as a series of units, and is placed on the South facade to gain maximum sunlight, and on the west facade to capture harsh afternoon heat and sunlight. When there is more daylight available, more algae grows – providing more shading for the building. The Algae grows fast in the sunlight (hotter conditions), it produces more biomass, which subsequently is harvested to be used for power for the building. The advantage of biomass is that it can be used flexibly for power and heat generation, and it can be stored with virtually no energy loss.

Through research it was found that there are different types of double skins façades, some which a completely sealed, others with ventilation on the exterior, or openings which can be sealed depending of the climatic condition needed. This system consists of a conven-tional curtain wall or thermal mass wall system inside a single glazed building skin. This outer glazing may be safety or laminated glass or insulating glass. Shading devices may be included. These systems must have an interior space of at least 500 to 600 mm to permit cleaning. These systems may be distinguished from both Buffer and Extract Air systems by their inclusion of openings in the skin to allow for natural ventilation. The single-glazed outer skin is used primarily for protection of the air cavity contents (shading devices) from weather. With this system, the internal skin offers the insulating properties to minimize heat loss. The outer glass skin is used to block/slow the wind in high-rise situations and allow interior openings and access to fresh air without the associated noise or turbulence. The reduction of wind pressure by the addition of the extra pane of glass means that the windows can be opened even in the uppermost floors of a high-rise building.

C. Climate design The Earth Wind Fire concept developed for this project is a natural ventilation system, which does not need mechanical pumping. Wind is captured across the top of the roof though an ventac roof, in order to capture maximum potential wind energy. The wind then travels down a climate cascade (shower tower), which uses water droplets to speed the movements of the air travelling down the building side, as well as cool down the air temperature. This fresh air is circulated though out the building using a displacement ventilation system, in which fresh air is distributed evenly though out the building. This is done using ventilation shafts within the floor slab, which contain vents up through the floor at separate intervals. Return air is sucked out of the inhabitable spaces by a solar chim-ney, which uses heat collected on the south facing façade to sucks air out of the building through the interior walls. Exhaust from the heater and building through the solar chimney is fed into the algae facade which removes co2. Hence finishing the cycle of the climatic system design.Additionally water collected from the climate cascade is collected bellow the building at basement level, and cool temperature is maintained by running the water through phase change material. This cool water in transported though the building, each ceiling contains chilled beams, which essentially circulate the chilled air through the building in order to cool spaces. Finally biomass energy harvested from the algae breathing façade is used for a heat pump to extract geothermal heat for heating of the building a provision of hot water.

The double skin façade system is essentially a pair of glass skins separated by an air cor-ridor. The main layer of glass is an insulating a standard curtain wall. There is then an extra layer of glass added to the system. The air space between the two layers acts as an insulat-ing barrier against temperature extremes, noise, and wind and sunlight.

The facade system provides dynamic shading, as the algae react to the sun: the stronger the sun, the faster the algae grow, providing more shading for the building. The additional advantages are thermal insulation, acoustic insulation, and removal of CO2. However first the facade had to be able to withstand Dutch climatic conditions. A precedent for the pro-ject was found in sourhern Germany close to the border of Netherlands with similar, if not more dramatic climate conditions, it was stated that- Higher plants go through a relatively slow yearly cycle, but micro-organisms such as algae respond to changing conditions within hours, which means that the facade is still active during freezing temperatures.

D. Peer ReviewAndrea Harteveld 4017889 Janine worked out a part of our double facade and integrate the algae system as sun shad-ing element. Which I think fits well in our innovative ‘zero energy building concept’. A ques-tion for me is in how far the small fresh air duct can carry this whole second skin façade. Another question, is the double skin part still hermetical, and in summer still connectible to the solar chimney?

Max Flur 4107977The algae facade works quite well with the overall climate scheme for the building. It integrates several components of the earth wind fire strategy. Designing the double skin facade into modular units allows the design to be used differently for separate zones and floors. As the facade panels swivel at a central point, I wonder how the material inside is connected through piping. It is unclear what the function of the atrium is in the overall building scheme.

E. Reflection (200 words)In response to the reflection by Andrea, the structure of the second skin facade is not held by the fresh air ducts. It is tied back to the main structure with steel beam members which are placed both above and below the fresh air ducts, and are connected to the primary structural system, therefore not adding any load to the air ducts. The Algae facade skin is sealable for colder climate to act as a thermal barrier, and in summer the air circulating in-side the double skin is exhausted out through either the operable algae panels, or through the solar chimney in extreme hot climate.In response to the reflection by Max The individual Algae panels do have a swivel point at the centre. This swivel point contains the fluid piping and wiring. This allows the panel to rotate whilst still staying functional. The atrium add to the natural passive circulation of air around the building. It also creates a free floor plate, this means that south sunlight can reach all areas of the building, and air circulation is not blocked.

F. Conclusions (200 words)The building envelope is the central element of the energy exchange between inside and outside. In this system the facade is fulfilling its requirement, as being a multi beneficial element of the building design by using the systems already set in place with the intro-duction of the Earth Wind Fire concept. This follows the notion of upcycling and William McDonalds Cradle to Cradle strate-gy. The building uses passive systems to work ef-ficiently during all external climate conditions, and is responsive rather than automated. Which means that the building adapts to its surround-ing conditions. This building design maximises the use of the heavy wind patterns in the area, and uses an interactive facade to engage the public. The original building was disengaging, heavy, naturally dark and not properly ventilated. The new design successfully integrates climate design and structural innovation.
