This would involve investigating certain design decisions pertaining to building orientation, placement of service cores, floor plate configuration, appropriate structural system, material choice, facade and resulting issues such as scope for natural lighting, ventilation, heat dissipation and fire safety. The research shall also demonstrate how atriums and sky lobbies could be considered as an integral part of service cores and influence energy efficient design. In addition to this, certain psychological aspects related to design strategies of service cores shall also find a brief mention in the research. In the concluding chapter, the research shall highlight some of these drawbacks as far as embodied energy consumption is concerned; arising out of such designs and suggest possible measures that could be considered to minimise such negative impacts. Mumbai, as the business capital of India and a global financial hub, is rapidly developing and is currently the most populated city proper of the world (Wikipedia, 2004). With huge foreign investment in business and finance sectors and depleting land resource, Mumbai is now looking to conquer the sky. As the construction for India's tallest and greenest skyscraper, the 301 metre high India Tower by FXFOWLE Architects is underway, one can expect more of these mega structures being built in the island city (Wikipedia, 2004). Thus, it would be necessary to have a holistic and multidisciplinary approach towards this new endeavour for a new city from the very beginning. This paper aims to make a humble contribution to the existing knowledge database on sustainable tall buildings but with a special emphasis on service cores and tropical climatic conditions. Tall buildings, over the past 120 years have undergone a series of transitions in terms of planning, structure, materials, economy and environmental impact. The very first tall building, The Home Insurance Building, Chicago, dating back to 1885, gave rise to an era of high rise construction in North America, which soon became a symbol of pride and economic prosperity (Oldfield, et al., 2008). Ever since, the tall building has been a popular prototype and grown in number as well. The energy crises of 1970s forced the building industry professionals to rationalise their design strategies and come up with buildings that use less resources and create a pleasant indoor working environment. In the past decade, some of the new generation tall buildings such as the bioclimatic skyscrapers by Dr. Ken Yeang and Commerzbank Tower, Frankfurt by Sir Norman Foster, display innovative way of substantially improving energy performance (Oldfield, et al., 2008). In an era where environmental sustainability is gaining greater importance, the issue of addressing matters of energy efficiency concerning tall buildings is inevitable. Service Cores account for about one third of the energy consumed by a tall building owing to the mechanical services housed in it. However, apart from their self operational energy consumption, they can play a positive role in improving the building's overall energy performance through a careful design approach. A great deal of effort is made in dealing with natural ventilation, day lighting and façade design for tall buildings to optimise the energy consumption. However, very little thought has been applied towards service core design that could help in optimising the operational energy of tall buildings in addition to natural ventilation, day lighting, glazing, structure, materials etc. The idea of making an integrated, conscious and holistic approach towards service core design to achieve energy efficiency in tall buildings is relatively recent. Some work has been done in the past related to individual components such as elevators, HVAC and other M&E services. This is evident in Dr. Gina Barney's and many others work dealing exclusively with energy efficient elevator models and few papers on evaluation of appropriate HVAC systems for tall buildings. However, little work has been done in general to reduce the energy consumption of the service core itself through passive design features by considering the benefits generated out of adopting a suitable design. | | Remove me from list 784 Maddux Dr Macon GA 31217-5655 You dont have to keep getting these.
