New business facility for the
operational activities
The layout and appearance of the building
reflects both the vision and mission of the company ELES. Both the
architectural design and the design of the installations are based on becoming
more fuel efficient and on the use of alternative energy sources and have led
to a completely carbon neutral design.
It was measured that on average 187 days
of the year are sunny, showing potential for the exploitation of solar energy
and the large effective harnessing of solar energy for heating and hot water. Depending on the
design object and purpose, and average annual rainfall of 1402 mm per year, it
is reasonable to include the installation of rainwater for purposes such as
sanitation, watering, car washing, ...
The design of the energy system, gives
priority to the exploitation of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind
as well as sourcing locally to reduce energy consumption and reduce CO2
emissions. Therefore, the concept takes into account local resources such as
groundwater (for direct heating and cooling), wind to improve natural
ventilation, sun for natural lighting and the use of solar energy, use of
rainwater and wastewater recycling. All
ventilation systems are equipped with automatic regulation and control in the
room depending on room occupancy and room monitoring air quality. Ventilation systems are linked to a
central control system which allows us to perform the ventilation system in
order to optimize the system.
The energy efficiency is also apparent from
the exterior with the use of the solar roof element and also in the interior
with the use of integrated greenery and atriums. The exterior solar membranes
serve as the character of the building and the company, whilst also generating
electricity. The facility is designed as modern, rational and with the use of organic
materials.
The facility is designed as modern, rational
and with the use of organic materials. The defining membranes are formed by
solar panels combined with insulation and aluminum plates.The interior of the
building will be concrete and natural materials such as wood, textiles and
aluminum.The workshops are designed as prefabricated concrete halls.
The building is organized as a campus, or miniature ?city? which
clearly reflects the mission and activity of the company. It also creates a
positive working environment. The concept envisages the construction phase, as it provides
competition. In the first phase of construction the appearance of the building
is already formed as a complete unit, so that the second phase can be made at
any time at a latter date. The exterior solar membranes serve as the character
of the building and the company, whilst also generating electricity. The quantity of panels used is sufficient to
produce enough energy to cover the amount consumed by the second phase of
construction.
The size of site allows for each program to
be classified as its on individual unit or department, linked together with a
collection of ambient atriums, with cross connecting bridges which interconnect
the various sections. As well as functioning as the internal circulation, the
atriums also allow natural light and natural air flow to penetrate the interior
spaces; they also bring nature and greenery to the office space, which provides
the building with a certain ambience.
