Zero-E, a sustainable development design by Woods Bagot and Buro Happold

Cities around the world are growing, vertically, horizontally and are being subjected to increasing populations as time passes by. This quickly developing urban jungle though is a knife in the throat of our environment, causing adverse effects on the environment. Well, the way we live in future could change, if cities adopt Woods Bagot’s and Buro Happold’s Zero Emissions Design (Zero-E) sustainable development design. With Zero-E, developments in future could soon go zero carbon and emission free.

The Zero-E is a 450,000sqm mixed-use development featuring an 82-storey office and hotel tower, continually monitoring and reacting to internal and external climatic conditions for maximum performance. The sustainable system uses integrated photovoltaics, solar thermal panels, absorption chillers, a biogas fuel cell and an anaerobic waste digester into a closed-loop system. Our lifestyle could change with developments like these.
