Architecture studio Hening larson And this University of penylvania A modular is installed Pavilion On the island of Governors in New York, which radiates cold air for an AC option in public places.
Situated 10 minutes from the Ferry Terminal of the Governor Island, Climakwar Pavilion is made of several silver-clades, cooling panels that support a wide roof made of wooden units covered in cloth shading.
Hening larson, Thermal architecture lab At the University of Pennsylvania and Chaos research The pavilion was created in the light of the growing global heatwaves, which can prove to be dangerous for the public when exposed.
A roof operated Solar penalThe pavilion appoints bright cooling to provide relief from heat exposure and uses “70 percent less energy than traditional ACs” according to its team.
Placed above a solid foundation, its four cooling panels intersect in the center of the pavilion, where transparent silver membrane contains “microtub” with cold water.
Technology called Membrane According to the team, with a completely “clear” effect after 20 minutes, the heat draws them from the body to cool them within 5 to 7 minutes.
The University of Pennsylvania said, “While radiant cooling is well known as bright heating, it depends on a uniform concept.”
“The goal is to create an area where people feel cold because the panels draw heat from their body. Because it does not require dehumidification, it does not cause condensation and uses 70 percent less energy than traditional AC.”
Many other “passive” panels are covered in a reflective material, which bounces the hot heat from the outer and cold air towards the interior of the pavilion.
The roof of the pavilion is made of 4 feet (1.2 m 1.2 m) wood cubes, each is covered in a health of the fabric for further shading.
The structure is mainly composed of an abolished silk cedar wood product Carbon Smart WoodAccording to the team, it was chosen for the ease of decisam for its ease.
Eventually, the entire system was designed to make modular and cost-affect, so that it could be extended to create separate arrangements for placements in public areas such as school children, bus stops, markets and construction sites.
“Climkavar will allow visitors from New York City and the world to experience outdoor cooling,” said Dorit Aviv, director of thermal architecture lab. “This is an important performance, which paves the way for the adoption of widescale of low-energy cooling.”
