About Hours on the Slope Fungsi Utama: Bangunan Kilang, Bangunan Pejabat

Teks Buku: Hours on the Slope ialah kompleks kilang dan pejabat di Taichung, Taiwan. Tapak ini dibahagikan kepada tiga bangunan yang disusun mengikut keadaan persekitaran dan orientasinya. Di bahagian barat, di mana pendedahan matahari adalah tinggi, tingkap gelap dan pengurangan keluasan tingkap menonjolkan rasa isipadu bangunan. Dinding luar diselubungi granit dan sistem salutan bangunan hijau. Mozek batu semula jadi dipilih untuk permukaan melengkung bangunan pejabat. Sistem saluran paip yang terbenam mengalirkan udara luar yang sejuk ke dalam loji, manakala panel solar di bumbung memberikan naungan kepada kawasan letak kereta di tingkat teratas.

Unique Properties: The entire area is mainly divided into three buildings, while the design takes into consideration the relationship between the environment and the direction, adopting dark windows while reducing window area in ordered arrangement on the west side with excessive sun exposure to highlight the sense of volume.
Dimensions & Packaging: The project is 63767 square meter.
Tags: Architecture, Factory, Office, Plant, Building
Production Technology: The factory plant with the largest area has adopted the coating system with the Green Building Mark, which contains no formaldehyde, TVOC volatile organic compounds, and hazardous substances; moreover, it is a coating system featuring low-carbon-footprint, no excessive external wall decorative wastes…etc. Due to the characteristics of the coating system such as gapless and low water absorption, etc., it can clean itself when the rain pours, making it easy to maintain.
Design Challenge: This project has also set up a rainwater recycling pool, collecting roof water for watering potted plants, it further set up an eco-pool in the alfresco retracted 20m of greenbelt, establishing water recirculation system to proceed with the conditioning of the microclimate inside the base.
Research: A large area of approximately 12,250 m2 of solar energy layout is placed on top of the roof, where besides conducting solar energy power generation, it can also act as a heat insulator for the parking lot on the top floor. The design also placed the air-conditioned factory plant underneath the parking lot, capable of completely blocking off the roof heat transmission caused by the large roof, thereby decreasing the air-conditioning energy consumption.
Inspiration: The main materials for the external wall include granite and green building coating system. To create the rock solid spirit of the enterprise and the fusion with the environment, the office building selected natural stone for the mosaic on the curved surface.
Project Duration: The project finished in December 2018 in Taichung, Taiwan.
Operation Flow: The main factory plant section is air-conditioned with the special arrangement of buried pipeline wind-guiding system, which guides in the external air at a lower temperature from the inlet/outlet on the north side together with potted plant section via the particular height difference of this base, which then cools the temperature down via the deep soil 10m underground, thereby accessing outdoor fresh air for air-conditioner cooling and exchange through the most natural cooling approach.
