As the Chinese government is committed to reducing peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and achieving carbon neutral by 2060, it is crucial to get this target by reducing energy consumption in super-high buildings. The running time of mechanical ventilation systems could be cut down by utilizing natural ventilation through windows in specific periods. In order to improve the performance of natural ventilation effectively, the study on the characteristics of window forms in super tall buildings is put forward. In this paper, the effects of different window types on natural ventilation in super high-rise buildings were investigated. Field investigation and field tests were carried out in this research. The results show that the narrow and long windows can provide a better ventilation effect. This study provides some suggestions for architects to select the window opening form in super high-rise buildings.

In connection with the large-scale development of high-rise building projects recently in Russia and abroad and their significant energy consumption, one of the main principles in designing is the use of effective energy-saving technologies. Also, important aspects are reducing energy consumption and neutralizing the environmental impact of tall buildings. The most promising areas in the field of integration of solar modules (planar and concentrating) in the construction of buildings are development of BIPV technologies (roofing, film, facade materials), the integration of solar energy concentrators that do not require biaxial tracking (medium and low concentrations) on the facades and roofs of buildings (parabolic concentrators, lenses, and Fresnel mirrors), integration of highly concentrated modules on the roofs of buildings.

Reducing Energy

One of the solutions for reducing energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions in the construction sector is the use of building materials which have a favorable environmental impact. This is possible to achieve by using plant material, e.g., industrial hemp, which absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide during the growth. Instead of cement as a binder there are used alternatively clay or lime modified with industrial waste in the form of pozzolans. The paper presents the possibility of using industrial hemp in the production of composite based on modified hydrated lime. It describes the basic properties of the sample composites such as compressive strength and thermal conductivity based on literature review. The article describes the way of preparing the mixture and the possibility of using the composite for the construction of walls using different techniques.

Abstract A high-rise building façade with integrated photovoltaic panels, located in the Central European region with temperate climatic conditions was tested. The PV façade was monitored for three years. Results of the PV system monitoring show that the façade positively influence the energy efficiency and reduction of carbon dioxide emissions from the building operation.
