8.6. ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN

The study of environmental comfort in this project reveals the following factors. To
transmit well-being to the user, employee comfort and energy efficiency while preserving
the environment.

Throughout this design process, several hypotheses were raised using the case studies
carried out as support, making it possible to define the current implementation.

The materials used are extremely relevant in this process, increasing the efficiency of
the project, such as the use of special low-emissivity glass, a natural compound for thermo-
acoustic protection and strategic openings to optimize ventilation.

The choice of these materials was made through the analysis of the studies set out
below, where, through the study of solar incidence, we realized that the greatest incidence
occurs mainly in the east and west faces according to the implantation.

Photovoltaic plates were used in the project to generate enough energy to meet the
needs of the building. In this case, the solar incidence is a necessary part of the project,
being favourable in all periods of the year so that the slabs have greater use and efficiency.

Artificial lighting in indoor environments is essential for plantation control. In this case,
LED lamps suitable for growing vegetables were used. The other areas are composed of
mixed artificial and natural lighting, as well as openings for natural ventilation when possible.

In relation to the permeability rate, in addition to the natural soil preserved in external
environments, on the pavement and paving the drainage floor is adopted, considered by the
city council to be 50% permeable, which allows better water drainage on rainy days.

This project meets the main needs of environmental comfort, provides for user comfort,
energy efficiency with the use of intelligent technologies and automation, soil preservation,
temperature control and lighting contributing to the performance of employees, making it a
satisfactory project in the urban context.

8.6.1. TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Air-conditioning system:
• Cultivation area: Chiller and Fun coil, uses the cold water supply to reduce the

consumption of evaporators in the need to cool the environments. All controlled
by an automation process, keeping the temperature stabilized at 27ºC in a closed
cycle.
• Administrative area and other sectors: VRF (variable refrigerant gas flow) that works
with a condenser through a single refrigeration cycle, reducing gas consumption.

Ventilation:

Natural ventilation system by the chimney in the administrative sector, with a large
opening on the ground floor with landscaping that includes a water mirror, making the
environment cooler by reducing the use of air conditioning.

Landscaping:

Externally the landscaping is composed of leafy trees native to the Atlantic forest
that can withstand the weather without requiring artificial irrigation and providing a good
shade on the sidewalks on sunny days and in winter, its foliage diminishes and allows solar
radiation to permeate.

Calculation of solar panels:

• 322 structures with 16 plates each
• Measures per plate 1.00 m x 1.50 m
• Total solar panels: 5152 * 49 kWh / monthly
• Energy obtained: 252,448 kWh / monthly
• Required: 217,303 kWh / monthly

The calculations made above are estimates obtained based on equipment that can be
used in vertical farms, performed with overestimated margins.

• The aerodynamic shape of the building allows the fluidity of the winds, causing no
damage to the surroundings of the building.

• The incidence of winds from the south and southeast has free passage through
the building, which does not provide any type of barrier due to its warhead shaped
design, remaining constant during the passage through the terrain.

• The photovoltaic plates are positioned on the roof of the building with a limit of
distance between them and the aluminium sheets composed of the roof itself to
avoid excessive heat transmission, providing efficient and efficient use, because
despite the photons being activated by light converting them into electrical energy,
the sun’s rays also transmit a lot of heat.

• The metal plates received a special white paint coating that provides the reflection
of solar radiation in order to reduce the transmission of heat into the environment,
forming on a thermally reflective surface, where about 99% of the sun’s rays will be
reflected, reducing the internal temperature by up to 35%.

• Under the covering metal sheets, a thermal insulator based on natural fibres
was used, which allows greater efficiency in the temperature control in indoor
environments, providing greater energy efficiency for temperature control in all
building environments.
