Bioclimatic Tall Buildings
Elbakheit, Abdel Rahman . 2014
This paper discusses major new trends of sustainable tall building design. It sheds some light on the reasons behind the proliferation of tall buildings worldwide as well as the move towards mixed-use Bioclimatic tall developments. Some technical features of tall buildings are reviewed in terms of vertical layouts, structural themes, wind adaptation and so forth. Strategies to generate tall buildings sustainable design ideas are illustrated. The paper concludes that Bioclimatic Tall buildings could be the answer to tackle the sustainable growth of the world future cities and communities. It emphasises the sustainable qualities that can be replicated in any given particular context
Design of Aerofoil wing enhancing air flow around buildings to be harnessed by suitable wind turbine with projected efficiency of 3-5 folds of stand-alone turbines
Systematic Architectural Design for Optimal Wind Energy Generation is a handy reference on the aerodynamic architectural forms in buildings for optimizing wind energy conversion processes…
While wind generated noise maybe limited in magnitude and effect, wind-induced structures’ vibrations could be a devastation (i.e., Tacoma Bridge Collapse 1940). This occurs with just above…
