ARCHITECTURE ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY FEATURES USED IN THE BUILDING The building uses environmental friendly features like cavity wall with insulation, insulated roofs and rainwater harvesting. The thermal comfort inside the building was achieved by using features like external cavity wall with insulation and double glazed exterior windows. Two layers of 120mm brick wall with 80mm cavity gap forms the exterior skin of the building. The cavity gap incorporates 50mm thick ‘Extruded Polystyrene Thermal Insulated Board’ (Styrofoam Board) for additional thermal comfort. To increase the efficiency of insulated cavity walls, the openings on walls which include the exterior doors and windows have double glazed glass panels. These features were introduced to keep the building warm during winters and cool during summers without having to use any energy source for it. Likewise the ceilings in the rooms that have open terrace above are also insulated. The building also uses the rain water harvesting. The rainwater is collected in two HDPE tanks of 5000 Litre spacesnepal.com 52 November - December 2011
