    The document summarizes the design concept for retrofitting an existing steel warehouse building to serve as the new headquarters for GBCSL. Key aspects of the design concept include fully reusing the existing building structure, optimizing the building orientation and facade design to maximize natural daylighting, and incorporating various passive design strategies like cross ventilation, photovoltaic panels, a green roof, and wind turbines to promote natural ventilation and reduce energy usage. The design also aims to address existing site constraints like soil erosion and contamination through limited development and enhanced irrigation.

    NATURAL VENTILATION

    NON MONSOON/ MICRO CLIMATIC WINDS

    The plan of the building was one that was shaped from the existing building given footprint of the project, which was very long and narrow. The building and its orientation is facing the south with its long faade and encouraging the reception of solar light . The window area on the south faade was designed to have the optimal amount of natural day lighting enter the building as required by GBCSL. The existing building will remain only the structural elements and narrow plan form allows natural cross ventilation. The building envelopes has created pockets to create positive and negative pressure zones around the building to enhance cross ventilation. The roof top is covered with photovoltaic panels and is designed at 7degree angle to South to get the maximum efficiency of the PV. The half of roof is used to collect rainwater and stored as a infinite pool/ whilst acting as a cooling pond. The other striking feature on the roof is the array of wind turbines, which align with the column grid and create linearity from a distance. The north, South facades created as double skin walls with air gap which is used as circulation ramps. The circulation ramps act as wind scoops during the nonmonsoon climatic winds and circulation passages kept open creating wind corridors dividing the usable areas into segments. The building is promoted 100% natural ventilation and use of much as natural light. Building covers with a green layer which will act as a buffer of filtration and retain the air quality to into habitable level. Measures taken to prevent erosion and contamination by minimizing the site development and enhancing the irrigation and sedimentation within the site.
