A new design with good natural ventilation
We are designing buildings for developing countries, such as China, with the most promising technologies. Several prototype designs of energy efficient systems and buildings are being developed for Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen. The work is in cooperation with Tsinghua University in Beijing and Tongji University in Shangai together with several developers. The emphasis on the work is to develop simple generic solutions that are appropriate to the local area, are very cost effective, and will be accepted by the local people.
