As the MEP consultant of the project, WSP is responsible for designing reliable and energy-efficient building systems. We adopted a new highly efficient air-cooled heat pump unit as the cold and heat source, applied heat recovery ventilation system, and utilised smart thermal balance valves for water system, providing stable air conditioning while contributing to energy saving and carbon reduction of the project. We also designed independent dual power supply and made use of temporary power generation vehicle of maximum capacity of 800kVA as a backup to support the power flexibility and function of the building for its steady operation.
To maintain healthy and comfortable indoor environment, WSP employed computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to conduct verifications for the air distribution and thermal comfort conditions in the exhibition hall lobby to ensure optimal performance of air conditioning system. Multiple fresh air purification and filtration measures were taken into consideration in the design to ensure constant fresh air during activities.
WSP’s Future Ready approach also informed the design of a reliable drainage system for extreme weather. Stair drainage was introduced to set intercepting ditches at each staircase; roof rainwater gutters were built to prevent rainwater from entering indoor; and inter-connected roof flower bed drainage was installed to reduce the risk of water leakage caused by drainage pipes passing through the floor slab.
