7 Study of Sponge City strategies 2

Green roof Sponge City (SC) strategy could be another effective solution. When the rain floods come, the runoff from the roof of the building is one of the important causes of the internal paralysis in the city. Therefore, transforming the roof of a city's building into a green roof can effectively relieve the pressure of urban stormwater runoff. On the one hand, collecting and storing rainwater through the sponge city structure and using rainwater for irrigation can save various energy consumption; on the other hand, the green roof will form a good urban landscape and increase the overall greening rate of the city. In the green roof strategy, green vegetation is planted on the surface to absorb excess rainwater runoff during rain and flood, and the rainwater is collected and stored in the rainwater bucket for storage and reuse. The bottom of the green roof is provided with a light soil layer and a root protection system. Multi-layer structure protection such as through-layer, drainage layer, and the waterproof layer can protect the surface of the building at the same time. The green vegetation layer with various plants can absorb building heat and alleviate the urban heat island effect. 


Large-area hard place SC strategy could mitigate the modern city issue which is the large-area hard surface with a little green land cover. It is acknowledged that this issue could lead to the urban flood. The existing hard ground is basically a grey building. The soil is hardened and hardened repeatedly and almost loses its permeability. The conventional hard engineering stormwater management does not respond to the harmful consequences of rainwater. The discharge method is simply to transfer the pollution problem from one place to another. According to the relevant theory of SC, during a heavy rainstorm in a large area within a city, it is necessary to effectively solve the problem of rapid drainage and reduce surface runoff. Under certain circumstances, the functions of water purification and water storage are increased, and ecological benefits are increased as well.

4 Case Study of Singapore PARKROYAL on Pickering Hotel

图片
Case Study of PARKROYAL on Pickering Hotel PARKROYAL on Pickering Hotel is a green building with green mark certification in Singapore City, which earned BCA Green Mark Platinum Award (Awarded 2012) and Solar Pioneer Award (Awarded 2011). This hotel located in the Chinatown at the gateway to Singapore’s Central Business District. The most unique feature is large of the area of tropical plants on the building’s balcony. Palm trees, flowering plants, shrubs and shady trees are planted outside the hotel. This green building method could absorb more carbon dioxide and decrease the heat radiation from the sun to cooling the indoor air automatically as a passive design. In addition, these plants also could form the light route naturally. Quoting the words form Lee Kin Seng, the hotel’s Director of Marketing Communications, “bring lush greenery into the guest rooms and internal spaces, enhancing the quality of life and reinforcing Singapore’s tropical image.” This design is both ...

23 Case study of Sydney Park Water Reuse Project

图片
Sydney Park Water Reuse Project is part of City of Sydney’s Decentralized Water Master Plan (2012-2030) . It designed by   Turf Design Studio & Environmental Partnership . The aim of this project is that alleviating 10% water demand of the city. Sydney Park was once industrial land and landfill. In the past two decades, people have made many efforts to transform it into a park of 44 hectares, which is extremely important value for the development of communities in south-eastern Sydney.   There are three key points in the project. First and foremost, water resources management is necessary to efficiently recover urban wastewater, improve water quality and reduce consumption of drinking water. The second point is to create places suitable for people's activities so that everyone who comes to the park can enjoy it. For this reason, the park needs a comfortable environment to provide people with a place to live, study or simply stay. In order to create a comfortable and ...

22 Case study of World Trade Centre Bahrain 2

图片
World Trade Centre Bahrain has an amazing design which is the wind turbines. The generator windmill has a rotor speed of 38 revolutions per minute at full load and is powered by a series of gearboxes placed in the engine compartment to run the generator at 1,500 revolutions per minute. The optimal power generation design is approximately 225 kW at a wind speed of 15-20 m/s. Moreover, the fan rotor has a diameter of 29 meters and is made of 50 layers of glass fibre. When the wind is strong or needs to be transferred to a standstill state, the top of the fins will be pushed outwards, increasing the total torque of the rotor and achieving the purpose of deceleration. To protect the building from the natural disasters. The maximum wind speed that the wind turbine can withstand is 80 meters per second, which means it can withstand Class 4 hurricanes.   There are some really difficult challenges when this building is building. The first challenge is the design of wind turbine impel...
