For the Shenzhenproject, the performance to achieve the “3-star” building includes:• 40% of the site area are pervious for retaining water on-site• 100% of the plants for landscape greenery are local species• Energy saving of 25% as compared with the current energy code• Daylight for 75% of the spaces• Water saving of 20% as compared with the code requirements• 10% of hot water demand provided by the solar energy• 10% of the construction materials are saved due to the provision of effectivestructure design• 75% of the construction wastes are being recycled• 100% construction materials are locally extracted and manufacturedThe atrium top provides the natural lighting to the internal spaces1.3m1.3mExposed beam and column design provide effectiveshading which reduce the solar load by 50%618
