DR.KENNETH YEANG

~ ecological approach for the design of large projects and buildings that include consideration given to their impacts on the site's ecology and the building's use of energy and materials over its life-cycle.


~ passive low-energy design of skyscrapers, as the 'bioclimatic skyscraper'.

Sample building


Building Name: Menara Mesiniaga





Location: 1A, Jalan SS 16/1, Subang Jaya, Selangor, MalaysiaNos. of Storeys: 14-1/2 Storeys

Design Features The building brings together the principles of the bioclimatic approach to the design of tall buildings developed over the previous decade by the firm.In particular, the building has the following features:






•"Vertical Landscaping" (planting) is introduced into the building facade and at the "skycourts". In this building the planting starts by mounding up from ground level to as far up as possible at one side of the building. The planting then "spirals" upwards across the face of the building with the use of recessed terraces (as skycourts).






•A number of passive low-energy features are also incorporated: All the window areas facing the hot sides of the building (ie. east and west sides) have external louvres as solar-shading to reduce solar heat gain into the internal spaces. Those sides without direct solar insolation (ie. the north and south sides) have unshielded curtain-walled glazing for good views and to maximise nautral lighting.






•The lift lobbies at all floors are naturally ventilated and are sun-lit with views to the outside. These lobbies do not require fire-protection pressurisation (ie. low-energy lobby). All stairways and toilet areas are also naturally ventilated and have natural lighting.






•The sunroof is the skeletal provision for panel space for the possible future placing of solar-cells to provide back-up energy source. BAS (Building Automation System) is an active Intelligent Building feature used in the building for energy-saving.

Structural System:





Reinforced concrete structural frame and brick infill, mild steel truss structure for sunroof, gym roof and mezzanine deck.
External Skin: Laminated float glass, composite aluminium cladding.
Roofing: Tiled r.c. roof slab to roof terraces, metal decking with insulation to gym. roof.
Finishes: Green granite to entrance lobby floor, white marble to lobby walls, composite aluminium cladding to columns and walls, quartz tiles to lobby feature wall, exposed aggregate plaster to forecourt and apron, spray tile to walls, float glass and dry wall to internal partitioning, homogenous tiles to wet areas, carpet to office floors, mineral fibreboard ceiling to offices, white fibrous plaster to lobby ceilings and auditorium.
