HQ BANK

OVERVIEW

TO PROVIDE AN OPTIMUM AND MODERN BUILDING THAT COMPETES WITH INTERNATIONAL BANKS WHILE COMBINES LOCAL ARCHITECTURE WITH MODERNITY TO BE SUITABLE WITH THE CURRENT ERA.

CONCEPT

THE ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT IS INSPIRED FROM OMAN GEOLOGY IN GENERAL, AND OMAN CAVE IN SPECIFIC. -CREATING AN OUTDOOR SOCIAL SPACE INSIDE THE BUILDING, REFLECTS THE LIFE IN THE CAVE.

2 REDDUCE THE OPENING IN THE SOUTH DIRECTION.

3 THE BUILDING IS HIGHER FROM EAST SOUTH DIRECTION TO SHADE THE CENTRAL COURTYARD , AND THE MAIN ENTRANCE.

4 THE HORIZONTAL SHADING IS MORE EFFECTIVE FOR THE SOUTH DIRECTION.

ENERGY MODELING OF NET-ZERO ENERGY BUILDINGS IN OMAN

ENERGY MODELING

MUSCAT, OM 2020

ZERO ENERGY BUILDING OR ZEB IS A BUILDING WITH ZERO NET ENERGY CONSUMPTION, MEANING THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF ENERGY USED BY THE BUILDING ON AN ANNUAL BASIS IS EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT OF RENEWABLE ENERGY CREATED ON THE SITE.

THE RESEARCH WAS CONDUCTED TO MODEL THE ENERGY OF ZERO NET ENERGY BUILDINGS IN OMAN AND THIS REPORT PRESENTS HCT ECO-HOUSE. THE FIRST PART IS A BRIEF ABOUT THE HCT ECO HOUSE INCLUDES THE HOUSE AREAS, ZONES, CLIMATE AND FORM CONCEPT, WHILE THE SECOND PART INVOLVE A STUDY FOR THE KEY FEATURES CHARACTERIZING THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN THE BUILDING INCLUDES THE BUILDING ENVELOPE, BUILDING SHAPE, ORIENTATION, MATERIALS, GLAZING, INSULATION, SHADING, NATURAL VENTILATION, DAYLIGHT AND THE APPLICATION OF RENEWABLES.

ALL MATERIALS AND SYSTEMS APPLIED IN THE BUILDING WERE STUDIED THROUGH DESIGNBUILDER SOFTWARE AND THE FACTORS THAT LEAD TO INCREASED ENERGY CONSUMPTION HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED. THE RESULTS WERE COMPARED WITH THE EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS.

RENEWABLE ENERGY SYSTEMS

ONE OF THE EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES IN REDUCING ENERGY COST IS RENEWABLE ENERGY SYSTEM. HCT ECO-HOUSE ELECTRICAL STRATEGY IS TO USE EQUIPMENT WITH GREEN TECHNOLOGY AND LIGHT EMITTING DIODE LIGHTING TECHNOLOGY THAT IS ENERGY-EFFICIENT AND HAS LONGER SERVICE LIFE THAN THE CONVENTIONAL APPLIANCES.

THE APPLICATIONS THAT USED IN THE HCT ECOHOUSE WERE THE SOLAR PANEL (PV) IS THE MAIN SOURCE OF SUSTAINABLE GREEN ENERGY AND SOLAR WATER HEATER. FOR THE SOLAR-POWERED WATER HEATER, THE SYSTEM STORAGE TANK IS HORIZONTALLY MOUNTED ABOVE THE SOLAR COLLECTORS SITUATED ON THE ROOF, WITHOUT PUMPING REQUIRED AS HOT WATER NATURALLY RISES INTO THE TANK THROUGH THER MOSIPHON FLOW.

MANY STRATEGIES WERE APPLIED TO DECREASE AIR POLLUTION:

1) REMOVE THE OFFENDER

REMOVING THE OFFENDING SOURCE IS THE BEST STRATEGY AND THE MOST EFFECTIVE. FOR EXAMPLE, ITS USED TO DETECT EXCESSIVE RADON LEVELS IN HOUSES. IT BRINGS RADON LEVELS WITHIN ACCEPTABLE LIMITS BY SETTING UP AN APPROPRIATE RADON MITIGATION SYSTEM.

2) IMPROVE VENTILATION

IMPROVING THE AIR QUALITY AND VENTILATION WAS DONE BY ADDING OPENING WINDOWS AND ALLOW THE AIR TO EXCHANGE WITH OUTDOOR AIR.

3) CLEAN THE AIR

HEPA FILTERS ARE HIGH EFFICIENCY FILTERS THAT TYPICALLY CAPTURE OVER 99.5% OF ALL PARTICULATE POLLUTION. THEY’RE MADE FROM EITHER PLASTIC (PP+PET) OR FIBERGLASS, AND CAN CAPTURE THINGS LIKE POLLEN, VIRUSES, BACTERIA, MOLD AND PM2.5.

4) PLANTATION

INDOOR PLANTS HAVE MORE ADVANTAGES RATHER THAN AESTHETIC ADVANTAGE, PROVIDING PLANTS IN THE HOUSE WILL IMPROVE THE INDOOR AIR QUALITY.

COMFYSPOT

OVERVIEW

ELEGANCE, SIMPLICITY, COMFORT, WERE THE KEYWORDS OF THE COMFYSPOT CHAIR. WITH THREE PILLOWS AND THIN ARMS RESTS. IT WAS AIMED TO HIGHLIGHT THE COMFY SIT EXPERIENCE BY EMPHASIS THE COMFATABLE PILLOWS AND HIDE THE THIN BLACK LEGS.

ERGONOMICS

DESIGNING A RELAXING PIECE OF FURNITURE, WHICH CAN BE SUITABLE FOR THE LIVING ROOM OR BEDROOM CORNER.

WITH THE DETERMINATION OF THE MAINFRAME TOGETHER, FOCUS ON THE STRUCTURAL AND PROPORTIONAL HARMONY OF THE PARTS WITH EACH OTHER. DESIGNING THE LEGS AND FINDING THE RIGHT SITTING ANGLE WAS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PART.

COMFYSPOT COLLECTION

TO MAKE THE EXPERIENCE COMPLETE AND COMFORTABLE, WE DESIGNED AN OTTOMAN AND A TABLE THAT WORK PRACTICALLY WITH THE CHAIR.

MATERIALS

LUXURIOUS AND ANTIQUE LEATHER FOR THE SEATING AND MATTE-BLACK METAL FOR THE HAND-REST & LEGS.
