Pitch

"Black Pavilion" is a project for a self-cooling skyscraper designed for the conditions of the equatorial and subequatorial climate zone.


Description

Summary

I hope you can allow more than one photo to clarify the projects. Black Pavilion is a building where the focus is on self-sufficiency.
High levels of efficiency in the absorption of solar energy are achieved through the principles of natural convection and by avoiding energy conversion from one species to another.

The minimum dimensions are 60 meters high and 40 meters diameter of the base. Under these dimensions, the forces created by solar energy will be insufficient for the proper functioning of all building systems... According to these calculations, depending on the glasses used and insulation, the maximum optimal height could not be more than 450 meters..... ...The underground floor is planned for the construction of a logistics center, production and warehouse areas. The shopping zones have local connections to the lower-level storage areas...... This slope of the ceilings and assists the natural movement of the warm air to the periphery of the building. The overall slope of the building also helps to improve the natural air conditioning of residential and public areas. The underground floors are provided for storage and production areas. The first floor is planned for the construction of public and commercial business areas. The second floor is provided for office areas. The areas above are provided for residential areas.... In the attic rooms are located wind generators, and other equipment. A recreation and entertainment area with a beautiful view of the surrounding landscape is just above them.....Vertical view..Centrally, there is a hollow space in the building, which helps natural ventilation. In the central part of the building are the elevators and staircases, shafts for air, water and sanitation, electricity and other communications. The middle part is a habitable area and the periphery of the building is a triple facade.

Project


What actions do you propose?

After evaluating the project, I hope to find an investor who is ready to implement it.


Who will take these actions?

"Black Pavilion" buildings should be supported by the states and governments , through direct investments or other incentives.

Black Pavilion buildings can provide a supportive environment for those who have post-oil thinking. Black Pavilion is a project that solves a number of complex issues for countries threatened by global warming, where temperatures go critically high.


Where will these actions be taken?

The "Black Pavilion" building project is suitable for realization in the coastal zones of the equatorial and subequatorial climate zones. Or it can be applied in places where there are yearly high levels of solar energy combined with high or moderate humidity levels. The Black Pavilion buildings are suited for building in the Middle East countries where they can deliver sustainable development after the era of liquid fuel income has come to an end. Black Pavilion buildings are also suitable for construction in dirty industrial areas (China), because with their powerful air currents they create, they significantly reduce the concentration of local pollution.
 


In addition, specify the country or countries where these actions will be taken.

Egypt


Country 2

United States


Country 3

Saudi Arabia


Country 4

Mexico


Country 5

Brazil


Impact/Benefits


What impact will these actions have on greenhouse gas emissions and/or adapting to climate change?

Black Pavilion does not use any external energy or greenhouse gas sources for its operation. Black Pavilion is a building that only uses solar energy to cool, light and produce drinking water.


What are other key benefits?

"Black Pavilion" does not use external energy (cheap maintenance).
"Black Pavilion" produces drinking fresh water.
"Black Pavilion" creates strong air currents and helps reduce the concentration of harmful gases and dust in polluted urban environments.
"Black Pavilion" separates and collects dusts into the air in large quantities.
"Black Pavilion"  provides a favorable living environment with minimal maintenance costs in the equatorial and subequatorial climate zones.
"Black Pavilion" can become the basis for creating stable communities of people, reducing emigration.


Costs/Challenges


What are the proposal’s projected costs?

Estimated value of the building (100 meters high) as a construction is 15 million euros. The facade, as estimated value, is 18 million euros. The necessary financing for finishing works is 12 million euros. The construction of water, sewerage and lifts requires 15 million euros. Thus, the overall price of the building without furniture for the dwelling would have to be realized within 60 million euros.

About the author(s)

The Black Pavilion buildings are suited for building in the Middle East countries where they can deliver sustainable development after the era of liquid fuel income has come to an end. "Black Pavilion" buildings are suitable for building in places where the freshwater needs are chronic (Africa Australia). Black Pavilion buildings are also suitable for construction in dirty industrial areas (China), because with their powerful air currents they create, they significantly reduce the concentration of local pollution.
Cecil Pavilion buildings can be built by private investors, but in view of their public importance and higher cost, it is necessary to obtain state support for the realization of the project.
"Black Pavilion" is designed as a mixed type of building, combining private homes, shopping centers, public areas and cultural areas and recreation areas as well as production areas with a logistics center. The building strives to create a living environment that is self-sufficient and can satisfy all the needs of its inhabitants. The building is designed as a combined construction of reinforced concrete and metal construction.

I'm sorry but I did not see it as a section.
How it works?
The separators are powered by low-pressure energy The three-layered façade of the building creates low pressure in its low part and high pressure in the upper part, and the excess high pressure at the top of the building is converted to wind energy using wind turbines. The hot air is used to produce energy, the produced water is used for drinking, the resulting dust is removed and exported through a special landfill in the logistics center of the building.
