Final design:



Summary:

Photovoltaic cells-
Convert sunlight directly into electricity, reduce carbon footprint

Transparent covering/shade-
Allows natural lighting to pass through for spiral stairway

Light pipe-
Reflects sunlight directly into an interior room, more energy efficient

High efficiency appliances (eg. air-conditioners)-
More energy efficient, lesser unnecessary energy wastage and energy consumption

Natural operable window/shade-
Offer fresh air flow without the need for energy input

Vegetative walls-
Best cooling efficiency by reducing average temperature reduction of the wall surface

Radiant ceiling panel-
Cools indoor temperatures by removing sensible heat, radiant cooling

Geothermal heat system-
Utilise unlimited geothermal energy (renewable heat source) to lower temperature inside building, reduce carbon footprint

Open-air concept-
Natural ventilation, increased air flow

Floor diffusers-
Providing ventilation and space conditioning in buildings, rely on the natural stratification that occurs when warm air rises due to thermal buoyancy

Triple glazing coated glass-

Keep heat out during summer
