Project of the Future - Research Laboratory in Hawaii
This building is developing a Boston architectural agency Flansburgh Architects. The project consists in the construction of a modern laboratory for the study of renewable energy technologies.
Unique structure is that it is completely self-sufficient. Autonomy power system, the use of rain water to meet all needs and 100% natural ventilation of 570 square meters of laboratory. The energy generated by solar panels and wind turbines. Filtering allows rainwater to supply drinking water to all the rooms, and solar energy is used for heating of the water supply for buildings and hot water. Instead of the usual air-conditioning system uses an innovative radiant heating and cooling of air. At night, the water circulates in the thermal panels on the roof, from where, after cooling enters the underground tank to cool the room during the day. Versatile control climate, energy and other resources, lets call this building one of the smartest in the world.
