This document discusses the materials, energy systems, water efficiency strategies, and safety features proposed for a breathing tower project. It includes the following key points: - Double brick walls with foam filling and green walls/roofs to provide insulation and reduce energy needs. Solar panels and a modified water chiller are also proposed for the energy system. - Water efficiency would be achieved through dual flush toilets, low flow shower heads, waterless urinals, harvesting rainwater, greywater reuse, and drip irrigation. - Fire safety includes stair and entrance designs, smoke/heat detectors, sprinklers, and fire rated panels/hose cabinets to meet code requirements. - The project aims to

11. Material :
• Eco paints.
• Advantages: less harmful – Gas less –low voc “Volatile
organic compound”
• Type : Benjamin Moore's Pristine Eco-Spec
• Price :is roughly 10%-20% more than normal paint.

12. Furniture
• It’s created without the use
of any carbon based
material, and sustainable
options can be made out of
recycled materials too.

24. HVAC :
• All water system chiller central unit traditional water
system .

25. HVAC :
Our modified water chiller:

26. dual flush toilet
• toilets can effectively save up to 16,500 gallons of water annually,
plus the advanced features ensure completing cleaning of the toilet
without any blockage.
• While a conventional toilet can use as much as 19 liters of water
for every flush, a dual flush toilet can use less than 3 liters of water
to flush liquid waste and about 6 liters for solid waste.
Low flow shower heads
• water conserving shower head - with a flow
rate of 7.5 L/min, compared to the standard
12-18 L/min, so water savings of up to 60%
compared to a standard shower head
Waterless Urinal Systems
• no-flush urinals use no water, one to five
gallons of water is saved with each use.
• use of waterless urinals could result in an
overall reduction in energy use
WATER EFFICIENCY:

27. water efficient landscape:
Faucet Aerators
• Compared to the standard faucet aerator with a flow rate of 2.2
gallons per minute the flow rate reduction will be
0.5 gpm = up to 77%
Harvested water:
• The purpose of rain water harvesting is to
catch the water and store It after filtering
• the rainwater is then stored in underground
storage tanks
Using grey water in irrigation:
Using local greenery:
Mulberry trees Lotus flowerSycamore Doum Palm
WATER EFFICIENCY:

28. Drip irrigation:
• water is given directly to the root of the
plant, so it saves about 90% than the normal
irrigation method.
Innovative waste water technologies:
• Grey water reuse after treatment .
• As grey water represents as 50-80% from
waste water

31. Life safety
• Detectors
• Smoke , heat
• Sprinklers

32. Fire rated panels
n hours for vertical shafts ducts elevators stairs
