Thank you for supporting the creative commons movement !! Gardens by the Bay contributes to the strategy of the Singapore government to transform a "garden city" to a "city in a garden." Singapore The goal is to increase sales by improving greenery and fauna in the quality of life city. thus contributes to the vision of making. Singapore a leading global city of the 21st century, the 101-acre park includes a futuristic bunch of immense metal trees ('Super Tree grove'), an architecturally landscaped park two large greenhouses (biomes.) It is next to Singapore Botanic Gardens, National Orchid Garden, the third botanical garden in Singapore. In January 2006 an international master plan design competition was held. It attracted more than 70 submissions from 170 companies submitted from more than 24 countries, including 35 from Singapore. The British firms Grant Associates and Gustafson Porter received the award, each for a part of the Gardens. In November 2007 began the development. In October 2011 the Gardens by the Bay were officially opened to the public. The concept of Gardens by the Bay is based on the principles of environmental sustainability. There is a lot of effort into the design of sustainable energy and water cycles. Gardens by the Bay consists of a freely accessible very modern park and a number of facilities for which an entrance fee. In the eye-catching, in addition to the metal tree, two glasses biome. The metal trees - super trees - are tree-like structures that dominate the landscape of the Gardens with altitudes ranging between 25 meters and 50 meters. These are vertical gardens with a multitude of functions such as providing shade and act as environmental engines for the gardens are to perform. The super trees are home to unique and exotic ferns, vines, orchids and an extensive collection of bromeliads, such as Tillandsia. They are also equipped with environmentally friendly technologies that mimic ecological function of trees: Photosynthesis - solar cells that generate energy for some of the functions of the Super Trees, such as lighting; Absorb rainwater - and collecting rainwater for use in irrigation and fountain displays, the Super Trees also serve air intake and exhaust functions as part of the cooling conservatories. One biome provides a picture of the cool-dry climate of the Mediterranean and semi-arid subtropical regions. The other gives an impression of the cool-humid climate of a tropical montane area. They accommodate both a diverse collection of plants that are not often seen in the humid tropics where Singapore is located. Use was made of many different levels and very modern architecture. The greenhouses are equipped with durable energy-efficient cooling solutions and reach at least 30% energy savings compared to conventional cooling techniques. Minimize solar heat. The two greenhouses are equipped with specially selected glass that best gives light to the plants, but the radiant heat largely stops. The roof is equipped with folding sails that automatically open to give to the plants if it gets too hot. Shadow Cooling only the low parts. Only the lower parts of the greenhouses are cooled. This is achieved by means of thermal stratification. Pumped groundwater cooling pipes in the floor slabs. Warm air rises and is discharged at a high level. Dehumidification of the air for cooling. In order to reduce the amount of energy that is required in the cooling process, the air in the greenhouse with the Mediterranean climate dehumidified before it is cooled. The drying agent used for that purpose, is recycled by means of the residual heat of the combustion of the biomass. The generation of energy and the utilization of waste heat. Power for cooling is generated on the premises. At the same time, waste heat absorbed by which the desiccant is regenerated. Use is made of a special steam turbine which is fueled by the horticultural waste from parks, gardens, and other in Singapore. The cooling or cooling towers are structures for cooling water and other media at very high temperatures. The primary use of large industrial cooling towers is to lower the temperature of cooling water used in power plants, oil refineries, petrochemical plants, natural gas processing and other industrial facilities. Cooling towers use evaporation of water to reject heat from a process such as the generation of electricity. Cooling towers range in size from small to very large structures that can exceed 220 meters high and 100 meters long. Thank you for supporting the creative commons movement !!
