Compared to today's buildings, my ideal building should be smart and sustainable. In terms of building materials, I want to use them to be lighter and more sustainable. It is also important to use a more environmentally friendly energy system.
Another point needs to mention is the rate of space utilization. We should manage the space, that means we need to make the spatial layout of the building more reasonably and create more rooms for the users.
Solar energy and green roof.
By substantially reducing the amount of heat loss and gain, improving structural integrity and increasing property value, a green roof can be financially significant. In a long-term way, green roof is a good method to reduce CO2. From the picture below, we can see there are a lot of areas covered by greens, which also increases the rate of space utilization.
Sustainable material—Timber
Timber is a natural material used in many forms for building and construction. It is readily available, and can be easily sourced from many building material suppliers all over the country. It’s easy to work, cost effective and non-toxic to people’s health.
How energy flows and temperature
It is also critical to consider the energy flow in a building. The heating and cooling system are both essential to the quality of the building. We should consider how to make heat transfer more efficient.
Smartness
The most vital features of the smart building are the smartly connected system, implementation of the sensors, automation, vast accumulated data providing to managers in real-time, and core systems within which it linked. People can do most of things without step out of the room.
