Efficient energy supply for the building in a way that does not violate the sustainability principles.

VISION

• Traditional historical building built 150 years ago• More than 2500 employees.• Having 6 floors and each floor has more than 100

rooms.• ~ two windows and one door per room.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCE MINISTRY BUILDING

3

4

• Old windows and doors waste a lot of energy• Have to use fuel for conditioning system which causes

air pollution• Heating and cooling problems with air condition

system• Because of the fuel the buildings font is going to be

destroyed

PROBLEMS

5

• Change windows (old & ruin replace to new)• Change doors (old & ruin replace to new)• Using renewable energy for electricity supply

(photovoltaic)• No trucks required for fuel transport if electricity

supply is from renewable energy• Photovoltaic• Solar system

SUSTAINABLE ACTIONS
