15. ASHRAE
Given the fact that China’s and especially Beijing’s air quality is unhealthy.
Indoor air quality becomes am important issue. Indoor air quality is affected by
both outdoor and indoor pollutants. Some of the strategies of improving indoor air
quality are: operable windows, vegetation, walk off matts, and the filters used in the
HVAC system. Operable windows can be used to completely flush out the build-
ing on days that the outside air quality is decent. Vegetation both on the roof and
around the site will help filter the air. The leaves will trap the pollutants which will
then be washed off during storms. Walk off matts reduce the amount of debris that
is tracked into the building from peoples shoes. The walk off matts will have to be
cleaned regularly. The building will be using a fan coil system for its HVAC. Each
fan coil unit will have it’s own filter built in. In addition to this though, there will
be a couple of fresh air intake ducts that service the fan coil units that are not able
to be placed against an exterior wall. These fresh air intake ducts will have their
own set of filters.

HVAC System
The building will utilize a hybrid system to heat and cool the interior spac-
es. The first system is a hybrid GHP (Ground Heat Pump) system. The GHP will
exchange heat with the pond located on site. The second system is a closed water
loop fan coil. The heated or cooled water from the GHP will circulate throughout
the building and to the individual fan coil units. Each fan coil unit then will heat
or cool the rooms. The third system is a fresh air intake system. It will have its
own set of ducting and filters. This system is implemented because Beijing and its
surroundings are highly polluted.
