This
housing development
aims to set up the first carbon-neutral community in Beijing, China,
within a spectacular environment between city and country. The project
promises a community with a relaxing balance between working and living.
The basis of ZED design is to reduce the need of cooling and space
heating by investing in a high performance building
fabric. This includes super-insulation and thermal mass, and reduces
energy loads by using integrated renewable systems
relying on sun, wind and ground water.
Every home is south facing, creating a great feeling of space and light
inside buildings. The sunspace serves as a
solar heat collector in winter. All homes have a private exterior
space, which may be a garden or terrace space.
