A skin that responds
to the climate?
适宜当地气候的外墙
设计?
A skin on a LEEDTM building?
LEEDTM 建筑?
3. The LEAP to Zero Carbon and beyond…
走向零碳与超越…
Energy Efficient (mid 1970s “Oil Crisis” reaction)
节能设计(对70年代石油危机的回应)
Green (environmentally responsive)
绿色设计(对环境保护的响应)
Sustainable (holistic and comparable – LEEDTM)

4. A building envelope that addresses Global Warming and
Sustainable Design! 针对全球变暖与可持续设计的围护设计
• To reduce GHG emissions
减少温室效应气体的排放
• Buildings account for more than 40% of the GHG
40% 以上的温室气体排放源于建筑物
• Carbon Neutrality focuses on the relationship between all
aspects of “buildings” and CO2 emissions
零碳设计理念将焦点放在建筑物与碳排放的关系
• Carbon Neutral Design strives to reverse trends in Global
Warming 零碳设计将尽全力扭转全球变暖的趋势
5. This is NOT a low carbon envelope because:
这不是一个低碳围护结构,因为:
- No consideration of orientation (shading missing)
欠缺朝向的考虑(缺少遮阳设备)
- Ad hoc A/C units (waste heat causes warming)
外加的空调(排放的废气造成环境变暖)
- Materials not durable 材料并不耐用
6. This is NOT a high performance low carbon envelope BUT:
这不是一个高效的低碳外墙,但是:
- recessed windows can be shaded from sun
内缩窗可以起到遮阳的作用
- overhangs allow windows to be open when it is rainy
挑檐:在下雨天也可以开窗
- traditional clothes drying space preserved
保留了晾衣服的空间
7. Preserve the best of traditional buildings
保留传统建筑中的精华
- Not ALL traditional buildings are BAD
并非所有传统建筑都是坏的
- Not ALL Western buildings are GOOD
并非所有西方建筑都是好的

Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA)
生命周期评估
– The main goal of a LCA is to quantify energy and material use
as well as other environmental parameters at various stages of a
product’s life-cycle including: resource
extraction, manufacturing, construction, operation, and post-use
disposal
生命周期评估的主要目的是量化一个产品在其生命周期中各个阶
段(包括原料提炼,制造,建造施工,运作和使用后的处理)所需的
能源,材料以及其他的环保参数。

Four Key Steps – IN ORDER:
四个关键步骤-按顺序
#1 - Reduce loads/demand first (conservation, passive
design, daylighting, shading, orientation, etc.)
减少负荷/需求(能量保存,被动式设计,天然采光,遮
阳,朝向,等。)
#2 - Meet loads efficiently and effectively (energy efficient
lighting, high-efficiency MEP equipment, controls, etc.)
有效的满足负荷 (节能照明,高效水电风设备,控制管理,等。)
#3 - Use renewables to meet energy needs (doing the above steps
before will result in the need for much smaller renewable energy
systems, making carbon neutrality achievable.)
运用可再生资源来满足能量需求(做好上述步骤可减少对可再生能源系统
的需求,以致实现碳中立。)
#4 Use purchased Offsets as a last resort when all other means have been
looked at on site, or where the scope of building exceeds the site available
resources.
当已审视了所有其他的手段,或建筑范围超过现场可用资源时,使用换取补偿为最

24. Thermal Mass is Critical!
蓄热体是关键!
To ensure comfort to the
occupants….
确保居住者的舒适…
People are 80% water so if they
are the only thermal sink in the
room, they will be the target.
人是由80%的水组成的,如果
他们是唯一的热汇,他们将会
吸收所有热能。
And to store the FREE energy for
slow release distribution….
储存为以后缓慢释放的天然能
量…

Concrete floors complement the
insulating wood walls
25. Thermal mass is the “container” for free heat…
蓄热体是一个储存天然热量的“容器”…
If you “pour” the sun on
wood, it is like having
no container at all.
如果把太阳光“倒”在木
头上,就好比沒有用容

Just like water, free solar energy
needs to be stored somewhere to
be useful!
就像水一样,太阳能也需要有地
方储存以便以后的有效利用!
