    Condé Nast Building - Intelligent Building

    Uploaded by

    Aarati Binayak
    The document summarizes the intelligent building features of the Condé Nast building in New York City. Computer simulation tools were used to optimize the HVAC and building envelope design. The building incorporates two 200 kW fuel cells, integrated thin-film photovoltaics, and natural gas absorption chillers and heaters. Motion sensors and LED lights help reduce energy use. As a result, the building's energy consumption is 35-40% lower than a comparable conventional building.

    Intelligent buildings
    applies technology
    To improve the building
    environment and
    functionality for
    occupants and tenants
    To control costs to
    improve end user security,
    comfort and accessibility
    To help user productivity
    designed by Fox & Fowle
    Architects
    The 48 storey building
    located at 4 Times
    Square is being hailed as
    Americas greenest
    skyscraper
    features
    Computer simulation tools used in order to
    optimally design HVAC and building
    envelope.
    Urban orientation rather than solar
    orientation generated the building form.
    DOE-2 model calculated amount of energy
    consumed by floor or group of floors
    Two 200 kW fuel cells are located in the 4th
    floor
    Integrated "thin-film photovoltaics were used
    in spandrel glass on the south and east facades
    of the top 9 floors
    Direct-fired natural-gas absorption
    chiller/heaters
    Individual floor-by-floor fan units operate only
    when occupied.
    occupancy sensors and high performance
    fixtures reduce buildings energy use
    Special glass allows daylight in to reduce the need for interior lighting,
    keeps heat and ultraviolet rays out, and minimises heat loss in winter.
    Two natural-gas-powered fuel cells provide 400 kilowatts of power,
    enough to provide all the electricity needed at night
    5% of the building's needs during the day
    The hot-water exhaust produced by the fuel cells
    used to help heat the building and provide hot water
    The heating and cooling systems, located on the roof, are gas-powered
    rather than electric
    reduces energy losses associated with electrical power transmission.
    Photovoltaic panels on the building's exterior
    provide up to an additional 15 kilowatts of power.
    Inside the building, motion sensors control fans and switch off lights in
    seldom-occupied areas such as stairwells
    Exit signs are illuminated by low-power light-emitting diodes.
    The result is that the building's energy consumption is 35-40% lower than
    that of a comparable conventional building
