The San Francisco Federal Building is an 18-story office building designed by architect Thom Mayne to be naturally ventilated using thermal mass and passive shading. It houses several federal agencies and was the first naturally ventilated high-rise office building on the West Coast since the adoption of air conditioning. Key green features include large amounts of concrete to facilitate natural ventilation and cooling, stainless steel sunshades, and operable windows controlled by sensors to allow natural ventilation. The building is expected to consume about half the power of a standard office tower and received LEED Silver certification.

San Francisco Federal Building
The San Francisco Federal Building uses numerous green features and technologies to reduce its environmental impact. It incorporates natural ventilation, daylighting, low-emissions materials, and smart sensor systems. These sustainable design elements allow for a 33% reduction in energy use, 50% reduction in solar heat gain, and 7% savings in costs compared to a conventional building. The building aims to minimize its carbon footprint through strategies like replacing Portland cement with recycled materials in its concrete.
Sustainable Design - Mixed Residential/Commercial Use

Sustainability Concepts in the Design of High-Rise buildings: the case of Dia...Franco Bontempi Org Didattica
One of the evocative structural design solutions for sustainable tall buildings is embraced by the diagrid (diagonal grid) structural scheme. Diagrid, with a perimeter structural configuration characterized by a narrow grid of diagonal members involved both in gravity and in lateral load resistance, has emerged as a new design trend for tall-shaped complex structures, and is becoming increasingly popular due to aesthetics and structural performance. Since it requires less structural steel than a conventional steel frame, it provides for a more sustainable structure. This study focuses on the structural performance of a steel tall building, using FEM nonlinear analyses. Numerical comparisons between a traditional outrigger system and different diagrid configurations (with three different diagrid inclinations) are presented for a building of 40 stories, with a total height of 160m, and a footprint of 36m x 36m. The sustainability of the building (in terms of structural steel weight saving) is assessed, together with the structural behavior.Recommended

Space frames!
The document provides information about space frames. It discusses that a space frame is a truss-like, lightweight rigid structure constructed from interlocking struts in a geometric pattern. Space frames can span large areas with few interior supports because they are strong due to the inherent rigidity of triangles and how loads are distributed as tension and compression along struts. The document outlines different types of space frame configurations based on curvature and number of grid layers, and discusses their properties, design, construction, and historical development.
presentation1Capital Gate Tower.pdf
The Capital Gate building in Abu Dhabi is 160 meters tall and leans 18 degrees to the west, making it the furthest leaning man-made tower in the world. It took two years and 600 laborers to construct the 53,100 square meter building out of reinforced concrete and steel at a cost of $233 million. The unusual leaning structural system uses a central concrete core surrounded by steel diagrid frames and horizontal outriggers to resist wind loads and maintain stability despite its irregular shape.

Capital gate abu dhabi
Capital Gate is a 160m tall skyscraper in Abu Dhabi that leans 18 degrees westward, making it the furthest leaning man-made tower in the world. It was constructed between 2007-2011 and required advanced engineering techniques due to its unusual shape, including a pre-cambered core to counteract the building's tilt. Capital Gate houses offices and the Hyatt Capital Gate hotel, and its unique design has broken several world records.
Ark hotel
The Ark Hotel China is a unique floating hotel designed to be ecological, self-sustaining, and withstand natural disasters. Constructed from wooden arches, steel cables, and a transparent plastic layer instead of glass, the shell-shaped structure is intended to float independently and house 151,000 square feet of living space powered by solar panels and rainwater collection. The greenhouse-like interior incorporates vegetation to naturally regulate air quality while allowing daylight to filter throughout and reduce the need for artificial lighting. Architects designed the Ark Hotel to distribute weight evenly via its frame and withstand earthquakes or tidal waves through its floating biospherical construction.
SPACE FRAME
Space frames are truss-like, lightweight structures made of interlocking struts in a geometric pattern. They were independently developed in the early 1900s and popularized in the 1950s. Space frames can span large areas with few interior supports. They are constructed using various materials like steel and timber. Different types include single or double layered grids. Design involves connecting members using node connectors. Advantages are that space frames are light, elegant, economical and allow freedom in floor plan design. Disadvantages include difficulty in engineering force distribution.

This case study analyzes the landscape design of PJ Trade Centre in Malaysia to understand how it reduces heat gain and improves thermal comfort. There are three key landscape designs: 1) A courtyard with over 1500 tall trees that provide shade and filter hot winds; 2) Vines on walls that filter hot air and reduce temperatures; 3) A roof garden that lowers roof temperatures through evapotranspiration and provides shade. These landscape features help reduce energy use for cooling. Additionally, architectural elements like cross ventilation and concrete vent blocks that block sunlight but allow air flow improve thermal performance. The landscape design effectively reduces heat gain and improves occupant comfort in the hot Malaysian climate.

525 Golden Gate Fact Sheet
The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission is building a new 13-story, 277,500 square foot headquarters at 525 Golden Gate Avenue that will house over 900 employees. Considered one of the greenest buildings in North America, it is designed to consume 32% less energy and 60% less water than comparable buildings through features like a solar and wind system, wastewater reclamation, and maximizing daylight. It also has a 50% smaller carbon footprint through materials like green concrete and limited parking. Over its 100-year lifespan, owning the building is projected to save ratepayers $3.7 billion compared to renting equivalent office space.

Green building
The document discusses green building principles and materials. It defines green building as construction practices that are environmentally responsible and efficient over a building's entire lifecycle. Green buildings aim to reduce energy and water usage, minimize waste, and promote health. Key principles include sustainable site design, water conservation, energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality, and use of green materials like recycled steel and dimension stone. The case study highlights the CII Godrej Green Building Center in India, which uses strategies like solar power, natural ventilation, water recycling, and earth sheltering to achieve high resource efficiency.
