Energy / Material Efficient Warehouse Design
|
|
- Natural ventilation is introduced in the warehouses by the provision of large numbers of aluminum louvers throughout the warehouses. The louver admits indirect light and helps the natural air flow throughout the warehouse.
- Translucent sheets were placed at strategic locations on the wall of warehouses
to harness the natural light during day time to brighten up the warehouses aimed
at reducing artificial lighting.
- Together with the superb heat insulation thermofoil installed below the roof,
the indoor temperature for the warehouse is always much cooler than the outside
temperature during the day time.
- Timers are also installed in warehouse to switch on/off lights at set timings
aimed at reducing wastage.
- Light color roof and wall cladding reflect sunlight thus absorb less heat
resulting in less air conditioning loading.
- Low E glass introduced on some parts of the office block at The Ship reduces the
heat gain due to sun light.
- Interlocking paver used for the car park in front of the office block at The
Ship also releases less heat to the air comparing with the normal tar mac or
concrete surface.
