HVAC Energy Efficiency Features
- 58% HVAC Energy Savings: The innovative HVAC design achieves a 58% reduction in energy consumption compared to conventional systems
- Thick Cavity Walls: To address site dimensions and orientation, thick cavity walls are used to minimize heat gain, especially through the east and west façades
- Optimized Openings: The design strategically places openings to reduce direct solar heat gain while maximizing natural lighting
- Two-Stage Indirect Evaporative Cooling: This system efficiently reduces room temperatures within the human comfort zone, utilizing less energy than traditional air conditioning
- Ducts in Cavity Walls: Cooled air is distributed through ducts placed within the outer cavity walls, providing airflow to individual floors via vents in the false floor
- Displacement Ventilation: The use of displacement ventilation helps further reduce energy costs by optimizing the supply of cooled air
- Energy Consumption: A standard office building with conventional air conditioning consumes approximately 5630 kWh/day, whereas the innovative HVAC system in our design reduces consumption to 2320 kWh/day
