Best practice
Songijang China Hotel Engineer Atkins
"The innovative design of the 400-bed resort hotel stands two levels higher than the rock face of the 100 metre deep quarry and includes underwater public areas and guestrooms. It will incorporate conference facilities for up to 1,000 people, a banqueting centre, restaurants, cafés and sports facilities. Sustainability is integral to the design ranging from using green roofing for the structures above the ground level to geothermal energy extraction. An aquatic theme runs through the design both visually and functionally"
Russia Tower
Engineer Waterman International
“Designed by Lord Norman Foster, the Russia Tower has the potential to set new benchmarks for other developments to aspire to and to take buildings forward into the 21st century. In order to minimize the energy demands ‘Energy Highway’ and ‘Energy Pathways’ will be employed as part of the building’s heart, pumping and distributing warmth and cooling as required around the building. The benefits this will bring will be less demand on the world’s resources, together with financial benefits as a consequence of reduced running costs, plant size and energy demand. In addition, a number of Low or Zero Carbon technologies have been considered for integration within the central energy systems.”
