The Phipps Center for Sustainable Landscapes in Pittsburgh, USA has received LEED Platinum certification. The building systematically demonstrates technical excellence in landscape design, water and energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality, and conservation and use of materials. The U.S. Green Building Council scored the project 63 out of a possible 69, only one other building project to date to achieve such a high score.
The Phipps Sustainable Landscape Center is rebuilt in an urban brownfield. Through green infrastructure, all waste and stormwater on the site can be effectively treated within the site itself. 150 types of native vegetation are used in the design, while achieving zero energy and water consumption.
During the design and construction process, how to achieve 100% energy recycling is the most difficult issue. When designing the appearance and structure of the center, the designer decided to use natural light for lighting as much as possible to reduce power consumption, and adjusted the indoor temperature in winter and summer through a well-designed geothermal system (the temperature is controlled at about 10 degrees Celsius) to minimize the temperature in winter. Energy consumption for heating and cooling in summer. As an aid, designers also use wind power to make better use of renewable energy.
In order to meet the water demand of the center, the designer designed a complete set of water treatment system using the lagoon and wetland in the botanical garden. In addition to meeting the irrigation needs of the entire botanical garden, the collected rainwater is stored and purified, and then diverted to the center to supply different plants. need. The center uses a natural ventilation system. The designer refers to the results of fluid dynamics calculations to determine the optimal location of the doors and windows. The opening of the doors and windows is automatically controlled by the indoor carbon dioxide sensor according to the actual situation.
