Thabo Mbeki Presidential Library

ARCHITECT: Adjaye Associates

Located in Johannesburg, the Thabo Mbeki Presidential Library is a space of excellence, learning, research, discourse and cultural exchange predicated on the African perspective.

CONCEPT: take consideration of solar orientation of light MATERIALITY: sustainable aspect - Each dome will be made from rammed earth - 5,400-square-metre - The mud used to build the rammed earth structures will all be sourced locally in an attempt to help reduce the library’s embodied carbon footprint.

The Museum of Archaeology in Sero’s structure is made up of a concrete skeleton frame that is lined with red brickwork. The design exhibits the significance of materiality through the usage of brick through the shell and framework of the structure itself. With pavings made of bricks and brick chippings, the museum’s form reveals the significance of materiality and its integration with its surrounding conditions and landscape.

Cass Park located on the shore of Cayuga Lake. The site is characterized by a mix of natural and urban contexts. The southern edge is where the sun shines it has the edge of the park, the expressway and with urban areas. The northern edge is bordered by the natural beauty of Cayuga Lake.

The topography is predominantly flat. The primary views are west showing Cayuga Lake and the Farmers Market. The site is active for families with outdoor sports facilities, ice rink and boat club.

There are several large open fields that are used for sports and recreation, as well as wooded areas with trails for hiking and biking.

PARTI DIAGRAM

The library is deisgned in Cass Park site located near a lake. I wanted to preserve the site’s natural beauty and views, the concept follows on an elevated library structure supported by columns. This design not only minimizes the building’s impact on the site but also helps with the prevention of lake water overflow. The building’s form follows a 4-foot grid and includes a central courtyard and diagonal balconies that direct views towards the lake. The exterior walls of the facade feature a brick pattern that controls the amount of light allowed in, while private spaces have a different brick pattern with vertical holes. The building’s program is organized into various areas, including general services, collections, educational services, administration and support spaces, community areas, mechanical spaces, vertical access circulation, and outdoor spaces. The exterior facade walls material is brick. The structural material used in construction is concrete for the floor slab, roof, and structure. The curved roof design allows for sunlight and rainfall, creating a waterfall effect in the central courtyard. Overall, your design provides a functional and visually appealing space that is in harmony with its natural surroundings.

Observations: There are changes in wind magnitude direct across four seasons of the year. Winds in Ithaca are oriented northwest to southeast. The strongest winds are in the winter and milder in spring and summer.

By flattening the roof, the percentage doubled from the previous iteration, which is odd because a flat roof should receive less direct sunlight.

Iteration 2

All-electric building that uses heat pumps for heating and cooling are typically used in office buildings.

The chosen location is Tompkins county, Ithaca, which is placed on the northern side; wind direction is coming from the northwest and the thus, the shadow comes from that direction. According to the Koopen Climate Zone, southeast. The wind is moderately breezy. While if we Ithaca is classified as Dfb, a continental, no dry season, warm summer. The coldest month look at the month of January to February, the wind is in January, and the hottest is in July. During summer and winter, the solstice sun direction comes from the West and the South, making radiates sunlight and UV rays from the south orientation all year round. Difference the wind have a stronger breeze. Lastly, in June and sunlight amount differs for each season. In the summer, the sun is higher and has a lengthier duration from 5 am-7 pm. While the winter altitude sun is lower because of that, July, the wind direction is mostly towards the the sun is closer to the site, thus fewer duration hours from 8 am-4 pm.

Northwest, and the wind is calm.

A4 Thermal Bridging

with battery

It was odd for the percentage to be lower than the first iteration because the sloping roof should have increased the efficiency.

3rd Iteration - Heat Pump

By doubling the height, the surface area of the wall increases, allowing for more solar panels and higher efficiency.

My site is Cass Park in Ithaca located on the west side of the Cayuga lake.

Base Design The base design corner condition is Psi-value of 0.103 W (mK) The Psi- value is too high and thus not a good performance The heat flux shows that the timber is creating a thermal bridge.

Base Design Annual Glare

99.7%

Daylight Availability

51%

The glare inside the building is at its highest due to the material choice for glass curtain walls.

My site is Cass Park in Ithaca located on the west side of the Cayuga lake

Base Case The site climate zone is 5A, humid and cold, making it crucial to consider heat loss.

The baseline test shows that the site EUI annually reaches 508.8 kWh/m2/a, with the price being set at $27.

The goal is to lower the site EUI; we must change the material composition and thickness.

In the first iteration, I changed the material to Concrete with a conductivity of .025 m and kept the same insulation board at 0.3 m. Ultimately lowered a bit with the site EUI to 427.1 kWh/m2/a and the price set to $24.60. The Operational carbon lowered from 350 kgCO2eqv to 300 kgCO2eqv

2nd Iteration - Roof/Wall Material

AIA EUI: 587.6 kWhm/m2/yr Site EUI: 305.4 kWh/m2/yr Oper. Carbon: 67.4 kgCO2/m2/yr Cost: 17 $/m2/yr The heat pump is assumed to help lower the energy consumption, which in this case it did changed 76 kWh/m2/yr

U-value = ((Psi x L/ wall area) + U0 U-value = (( 0.103 x 5m)/ 48m) + 0.365

U-value = 0.3757 W mK

Revised Design

Final Conclusion My studio material for my library is Brick.

The base material is Brick with a conductivity of 0.25 m, and the Insulation board with a conductivity of 0.3 m

In the second iteration, I changed the material to Gypsum Board with a conductivity of 0.16 m and kept the same insulation cellular polyurethane at 0.2409. It ultimately lowers the site EUI to 381.9 kWh/m2/a and the price set to $22.30

The chart shows the EUI changes from the three iterations. The building EUI site decreased from 508 kWh/m2/yr to 103 kWh/m2/yr making it a 79.72% change.

The overall carbon is reduced with power consumption and materiality.

Wall Construction: Brick Brickwork (0.16 m) Air Cavity (0.06m) Plywood (0.2m) EPS Insulation (0.04m)

Roof Construction: Timber Aluminum (0.012m) Roof Shingles (0.004m) EPS Insulation (0.04m) Plywood sheathing (0.027m) Timber (0.13m)

The revised design corner condition is Psi-value of 0.063 W (mK) The changes in the revised design are: the change of brick material (0.16m to 0.12m) EPS insulation in the corner Plywood sheating in the corner

The balconies and central courtyard are the ones that are receiving the most daylight. While the brick material for the screening isn't helping.
