Integrated Green Systems
Light
• Optimize the use of daylighting
• Building orientation to maximize natural daylight in use
• Reduced building depth to allow natural illumination
• Shading devices to control thermal gain
• Use of reflection principles to bring daylight deep into building
Integrated Green Systems
Light- Interior Daylighting
Integrated Green Systems
Light- Solar Control: Designed
Integrated Green Systems
Light- Solar Control: Natural
Integrated Green Systems
Light- Why important?
Proper siting and planning sets stage for the rest of A/E sustainable decisions.
Citilink achieved 30% less energy use by designing thermal control into the project in conjunction with a modest renewable energy sources.
Integrated Green Systems
Other Areas of Green Exploration:
Materiality
• Building fabric related to the environment
• Use of the thermal mass of the building to balance the internal climate
• Optimize the envelope performance in infiltration, permeability and u- value
• Natural self finishing materials to extend durability
Integrated Green Systems
Other Areas of Green Exploration:
Water
• Green roof systems
• Flood control
• Use of ground water for heating + cooling systems
• Rainwater supplied water features and irrigation systems
• Grey water recycling
Integrated Green Systems
Other Areas of Green Exploration:
Air
• Optimize the use of natural ventilation
• Building orientation to optimize wind driven ventilation
• Thin building shape to allow for cross ventilation
• Minimize building maintenance when mechanical systems are reduced
Integrated Green Systems
Other Areas of Green Exploration:
Landscape
• Reduce intervention in existing ecosystems
• Preserve natural resources
• Use of natural, renewable self- finishing materials
• Create inside out buildings with integrated landscape
