Sustainable residential building design - the s3p2e2r4 sustainable bireath approach: building integrated renewable energies and resources and optimal air quality total harvest approach

Abstract

Residential buildings traditionally are designed to provide environmental controls with static features which do not change their positions throughout the year. For example good solar static shading devices do good to shade the unwanted summer hot sun, but often block daylight in cloudy winter days. Also some dynamic features such as windows, or awnings do not respond in optimal ways to climate changes for optimal use of renewable energies and sources, and air quality which surround the buildings. Traditional residential buildings are commonly not well integrated and thought of on the use of renewable energies and sources surrounding buildings which are solar energy, wind energy, rain and snow energy. This paper reports on a new approach for sustainable building design, which is called The SUSTAINABLE RESIDENTIAL BUILDING DESIGN - THE S3P2E2R4 SUSTAINABLE BIREATH APPROACH: Building Integrated Renewable Energies and resources, and optimal AIR quality Total Harvest APPROACH. That is, in addition to fulfilling its normal functions, the building is designed in an integrated manner and used as a harvester to harvest as much as practicable Renewable Energies and sources, and optimal AIR quality which surround the residential unit, for the best benefits of the users of the unit, and for maximized sustainable contribution to the immediate vicinity and worldwide at large. Also the well recognized environmental protection practices of S3P2E2R4 are adopted.
