1Sustainable design: The south facade is open to the campus and recyles solar energy, while the north facade is enclosed and offers insulated walls with strong thermal barriers. It has an underground body of water, which is the main source of heat energy for the structure. The project is a very clever demonstration of the relationship between function and design purpose. The project uses an integrated bioclimatic system to save energy. The buildings are oriented to maximise solar energy, as well as natural ventilation methods and rainwater harvesting techniques.

WEEK 10- Green infrastructure update, Urban Heat Island issue and Measuring Sustainability.NO.1---- Rain harvesting skyscraper. Poland.

The "Rainwater Harvesting" eco-skyscraper is a sustainable scheme designed by architecture students Ryszard Rychlicki and Agnieszka Nowak from Poland. The scheme was inspired by Denmark's rainwater harvesting culture, which has seen average water use drop by 40%.

（source from Google picture）

Purpose: The scheme aims to capture as much rain as possible to meet the building's daily water needs. The average daily water consumption per person in the building is about 150 litres, of which 85 litres will be replaced by rainwater collected. To achieve this, the roof and shell of the building are equipped with systematic drainage facilities. The system captures rainwater that flows over the sides of the building and stores it through a transmission water network.

（source from Google picture）Highlights: A large funnel-shaped reservoir and reed treatment area are located in the center of the building, where collected rainwater is treated into usable water for the building's users. The design of this rainwater collection and treatment system is inspired by the structural principles of plants collecting and treating rainwater. Eventually, the treated rainwater could be used in toilets, washing machines, watering plants, cleaning floors and other household appliances.

WEEK 10- Green infrastructure update, Urban Heat Island issue and Measuring Sustainability.NO.2---One Angel Place, Manchester City centre, England

One Angel Square in the heart of Manchester is the headquarters of Cooperative Group, the largest retail giant in the UK, with a total floor area of 500,000 square feet. The building uses a double facade and a green and sustainable design to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. It is also equipped with a heat recovery system, waste water recovery and rainwater collection system. In addition, exposed concrete is used to absorb the heat inside the building and reduce the energy needed for cooling.

（source from Google picture）

Sustainable design: Innovative engineering techniques are used in this project to minimize year-round heating and cooling requirements; Underground concrete ground conduit provides plenty of free heating and cooling for fresh air. Dahua reduces heating and cooling requirements. Waste gas is recycled and waste water recovery and rainwater collection systems are combined to reduce water consumption. The Co-operative operates on local sourcing and sustainability principles, using rapeseed to power the building's combined heat and power station, with the remainder recycled as animal feed. Excess energy is supplied to the grid and other projects, and the waste energy is cooled by absorption chillers.

（source from Google picture）

The designer also took into account the global warming problem, and took corresponding measures from the perspective of future development according to the forecast weather data in 2050. So even if average summer temperatures rise by three to five degrees and winter precipitation increases by 30 percent in the future, the buildings can cope with more than enough. The fabric and environmental systems of the building are designed to become more efficient as the average annual temperature rises.

WEEK 8. NO.1 - Green infrastructure update, Urban Heat Island issue and Measuring Sustainability----- Milan vertical forest

Green buildings have an important role to play in addressing the urban heat island effect and sustainability. Milan, Italy Vertical forest is a green building that I studied two years ago.

（source：http://www.aladesigndaily.com/archives/12131）

The first example of the "vertical forest" was completed in the Isola area in the center of Milan. Two residential towers, 110 meters and 76 meters high, are dotted with 900 trees of 3, 6 and 9 meters and 2,000 flowers and shrubs of various varieties on the facade facing the sun. A "forest" of up to 7,000 square meters of green cover has been placed within the city.

The two buildings can accommodate the same number of families as a single-family residential community covering about 75,000 square meters, greatly reducing the city's land pressure. At the same time, the vertical forest vegetation system will bring moist air, absorb carbon dioxide and dust, and produce oxygen, creating a habitable microclimate.

Week four 2. A case study of proposed sustainable buildings in Taiwan

Taipei Municipal Library Beitou Branch is located in Guangming Road, Beitou District, Taipei City. It is the first Green building library in Taiwan. The overall building is in a streamline shape, just like a beautiful ship. When I went to Taiwan for study and exchange, I stayed up late to write my thesis here. This is the green building that impressed me the most.

Environmental protection and energy saving are fully considered in its design and construction. The building uses eco-roof, solar photovoltaic panels and other technologies to harvest natural energy, reduce energy consumption, and use recycled water for irrigation and planting. Construction materials, furniture dimensions, etc., have been simplified to minimize the complexity of construction. In addition, strategies such as the development level of the interior space and the increase of grey space were also adopted to make sound, light, heat and wind transition and achieve the effect of energy saving.

In addition, the building has a unique design in terms of lighting and environmental greening. In terms of energy efficient design, green roofs are the best insulation. To save energy in buildings, it starts from the roof. Because the moisture in the soil has a heat-insulating effect, a green roof filled with ddrought tolerant plants is the best insulation, and the grilles and solar panels themselves, in addition to generating electricity, act as a large umbrella to block the sun from the roof. The convection of the middle air layer allows the hot air to disperse and achieve the effect of indoor energy saving. The large floor-to-ceiling Windows maximize the use of natural light, allowing the park's trees to be brought in during the day, and the indoor lights to be the most dazzling view in the park at night. The type of planting is also selected according to the environment and the effect of the indoor space. At the same time, there are reserved planting slots beside the inclined walkway, so that the building and the environment are integrated together.

In conclusion, the Beitu Branch of the Taipei Municipal Library is an environmentally friendly and energy-saving building. Its design and construction fully consider the relationship between man and nature, and provide readers with a comfortable, healthy and environmentally friendly reading environment.

Week four 1. The case of the proposed sustainable building in Nanjing

As a famous historical and cultural city in China, Nanjing has been committed to sustainable urban development in recent years, including the development of sustainable architecture. Ant Building is a representative sustainable architecture design company in Nanjing for the future sustainable architecture of a proposed project. I've had the privilege of observing this.

Built on the north bank of the Guli River Reservoir in Nanjing, this is defined as an antique collector's studio. The building is configured with a whole-house smart home that integrates various living scenarios, including integrated humidity monitoring, carbon dioxide concentration, PM2.5, noise and other sensor Settings. The south side of the building has large floor-to-ceiling Windows and a sunroom. In winter, the Windows in the south are all opened through intelligent cooling and heat regulation, and natural lighting Wells are used to simulate the building. The lighting coefficient of 85% of the functional rooms is greater than or equal to 5.5%, and the lighting is evenly between 0.5% and 0.6. In addition, an atrium is designed in the core area of the building, through which water and plants are combined with the building, the whole site is created to create the characteristics of nature. How to round the building exterior wall with double structure using planer earth bricks, air permeability and water permeability de star people combined with reasonable building through the wall ratio building energy consumption index than the guiding value of 10%. The building uses renewable energy solar photovoltaic panels to achieve a building capacity and building energy consumption ratio of 75%. The overall sustainable design of the building and the use of renewable materials is 10% lower than the advanced value of carbon emissions.

The architectural highlight of the project is derived from the "chimney" of the termite mound, and several "wind towers" are designed to combine buoyancy and wind drive, combining the chimney effect with the "wind capture" function to achieve efficient ventilation. The termitmound cold source treatment was used as an energy source, and well water was introduced into indoor and outdoor pools during the summer, including local rooftop pools. The location of the pool depends on the wind tower and the direction of the monsoon. Well water is used to introduce fresh air for cooling, thus achieving the sustainable purpose of the building.

WEEK THREE 1.Sustainable development of Nanjing's ecological heritage

Environmental and cultural heritage preservation is crucial to sustainable development and plays a significant role in it. With its abundant natural resources and ecological surroundings, Nanjing has made protecting it is legacy and urban ecology a priority. The government has increased its efforts to restore and safeguard cultural heritage sites, spending a sizable sum of money to restore and safeguard historical and cultural heritage sites including the Purple Mountain Observatory, the Sun Yat-Sen Mausoleum, and the Ming Cheng Wall in Nanjing. The Nanjing Pit Park was what I found most impressive. Located in Nanjing Jiangning District Moling Street Niushoushan beautiful area, Nanjing Mine Park is an abandoned mine that has been transformed into a park. The park's origins may be found in the 1950s when it was a Nanjing coal mining region.

The natural environment here started to recover once the coal mine was gradually shut down, but a sizable pit was left behind, affecting the area's ecosystem. The Nanjing city administration decided to transform the mine pit into an urban park as a way to make things better by giving locals a place to go for recreation and amusement and by restoring the area's natural balance.The Nanjing city administration has started a massive ecological restoration and landscape transformation project to convert the abandoned mine into a park. A considerable amount of flora was imported and planted in the park, creating an urban park based on natural ecology, while the original abandoned infrastructure, including mines and tailings ponds, was cleaned up and restored.

Although Nanjing Mine Park makes effective use of the topography to arrange the area, it is challenging to carry out large-scale development and construction since the park was formerly a mine, the terrain is complicated, and there are numerous exposed ore and slag. As a result, the park's expansion is constrained and unable to accommodate numerous visitors. Being an ecological park, Nanjing Mine Park must preserve and safeguard a variety of plants and animals. However, because the park is situated on the outskirts of the city, the process of urbanization and human activities in the area have put some strain on the park's biological environment, which has made it more challenging to maintain and defend the park's ecological integrity. As the park cannot generate significant economic advantages on its own and requires extensive financial support for maintenance and management, finding a reliable source of finance for the park's upkeep and administration has become a challenging issue.

WEEK THREE 2.Problems faced by ecological parks in sustainable development

Nanjing vigorously promotes the construction of green parks in terms of sustainable development. Zhongshan Botanical Garden, located in Jiangning District of Nanjing, is a typical representative. It is one of the largest botanical gardens with the most comprehensive varieties and the most mature cultivation in eastern China. It is one of the ecological green lungs of Nanjing, with a large area of primitive forests, rare and endangered plants and medicinal plants. I once visited Zhongshan Botanical Garden when I was doing plant research report. The World Flowers Zone of the Botanical Garden, where there are all kinds of flowers from all over the world, we saw tulips from the Netherlands, cherry blossoms from Japan, lavender from France and so on. We were deeply impressed by every section of the exhibition. Zhongshan Botanical Garden, formerly Nanjing Institute of Botany, has gradually developed into a comprehensive botanical garden. The conservation, cultivation and research of plants in the park have been widely concerned and praised. There are also botanical research institutes and plant science and technology companies in the park, which have made important contributions to sustainable development from ecological protection and scientific research.

However, Zhongshan Botanical Garden faces a series of common influences. Due to its location in the urban area, the land resources of Zhongshan Botanical Garden are limited. Therefore, while protecting and displaying plant diversity, it is also necessary to consider how to rationally use and plan these limited land resources. In addition, as a large botanical garden, the management of Zhongshan Botanical Garden is more difficult. It is important to consider how to balance the needs of visitors with the needs of plant protection, how to maintain the health of the facilities and plants in the park, and how to enhance the visitor experience and the popularity of the park.

[ruimin-sha]

Public transportation has a significant negative influence on the environment and resources as a result of sustainable growth. I believe that after four years in Nanjing, the city's public transportation system—which includes buses, subways, trams, and shared bicycles—is comparatively complete. To achieve the goals of energy saving and pollution reduction, Nanjing's public transportation system uses electric, renewable energy, and other technical solutions. Trams are widely used for public transportation in Nanjing Development Zone. These trams benefit from low noise levels and environmental protection, and a significant quantity of clean energy lowers carbon emissions. 

My main public transportation experience in Nanjing has been reducing traffic congestion. It allows for the transportation of more people on the same amount of road space, lowers the number of private automobile journeys, eases the issue of traffic congestion, and lowers the number of pollutants released during traffic jams. The top priorities should be to increase urban transportation's effectiveness, lower carbon emissions, and give city dwellers more dependable and convenient transit options. With six subway lines, three trams, and more than 1,000 buses, Nanjing's urban area is served by a three-dimensional public transportation system.

Travel still has its restrictions, though. Although Nanjing's public transportation system has been nearly flawless, some neighborhoods and portions continue to lack public transportation line coverage, which causes some residents inconvenience. Moreover, there is no direct access to Nanjing's recently constructed neighborhoods. Also, Nanjing's public transportation operations need to be run much more efficiently. The travel experience of residents is impacted by some buses that are not packed sufficiently, and by the occasionally lengthy wait periods to board one. Buses in Nanjing are frequently scarce during peak hours, forcing people to cram onto them and annoying locals. The public transportation system in Nanjing has made fruitful investigations and attempts in energy conservation and pollution reduction, public transportation promotion, intelligent management, public bicycles, and other areas that have aided in the city's sustainable growth.
