Engen design principles
A sustainable building design to reduce global emissions which can be applied to new buildings or retrofitted to existing buildings. The building provides a high surface area to maximize solar absorption for electricity generation. This can be achieved using a solar ledge which comprises photovoltaic (PV) panels around the circumference or perimeter of the building (figures 1-3). Alternatively solar tubes may be used, each tube having PV cells provided on an inner surface, and a refracting dome at the top of the tube and convex mirror at the base (figures 4-7). A heat sponge or thermal capacitor absorbs light to increase air or building temperature which is utilized in a heat exchanger and heat pump (figure 8). Heat is also recovered from waste water (figure 11) and/or mains water. Solar gain can be increased by the transparency of the building or by using dark cladding material or dark paint. Air insulation is provided by increasing the thermal barrier of still air around the building. The building reduces sheer forces from wind (figure 15) and uses a cellular design of the structure (figure 16).
