About Feng Xi Metropolis Plot 5 Primary Function: Merkataritza-zentroa

Feng Xi Metropolis Plot 5 Txinako Xi An hirian dagoen merkataritza-zentro bat da. Zentroak 100779 metro koadro hartzen ditu 33601 metro koadroko orube batean, eta 38,5 metroko altuera du. Ur-gortina sistema batek ur-jauzi bat sortzen du erdiko atrioan, eta laino-zurrustek landare eskaileratsuak ureztatzen dituzte. Harrera-putzu batek ur-depositu gisa balio du eta landareak ureztatzean berriro betetzen da. Eskailera mekaniko azkarrek eta beira-igogailuek zazpi maila lotzen dituzte kanpoko teilatu berdearekin. Argi-zuloak emisibitate baxuko beira isolatzailea eta aluminiozko hesiak konbinatzen ditu eguzki-argi zuzena murrizteko.
