Starting from the concept of green building, this project integrates passive priority and active optimization energy-saving strategies into the whole design process in response to the climatic characteristics of the severe cold region of Urumqi, achieving a balance between function and energy consumption in a high-density environment.
Climate-Adaptive Design
In the early stage of the project, local climate was analyzed through software simulation. A compact building volume and an appropriately combined closed and open envelope were adopted to adapt to the local climate with cold, snowy and strong solar radiation conditions. In the building layout, long-term occupied spaces such as offices are placed on the south side with favorable daylight, archives are independently arranged on the east side, and public areas are set in the scattered blocks on the ground floor, satisfying both natural ventilation and thermal insulation requirements.
Space Regulation and Envelope Control
The thermal environment is adjusted through atriums and insulated corridors. Thermal stack ventilation and mechanically assisted ventilation are applied to improve comfort during the transition seasons. The building envelope is designed digitally, with the window ratio and angle finely controlled according to functional demands, forming a functional facade system with self-shading and snow-resistant performance. This not only improves energy efficiency but also creates a unified architectural image.
Ecological Continuity and Resource Conservation
The design blurs the boundary between interior and exterior. By means of scattered platforms, green atriums and roof gardens, natural landscapes are introduced into the building, forming a three-dimensional ecological system. Local stone and concrete are selected to reduce transportation energy consumption, fully implementing the principles of energy saving, land saving, water saving and material saving.
With a systematic green design approach, this project addresses the challenges of energy efficiency and comfort for public buildings in severe cold regions, reflecting the innovation and sustainable value of green building in regional practice.
