Three SHASE-awarded and "ZEB-oriented" office buildings are introduced in this session. The adopted technologies include: natural ventilation, daylighting, building facade covered with plants, cool/heat tube, radiant heating/cooling system, thermoactive building system, ground source heat pump, adsorption chiller with solar energy, independent AHUs for sensible and latent heat and visual energy management system. Energy consumption was reduced by 50 to 70 percent compared to reference buildings in these three buildings, which are located in the north, south and Tokyo, respectively.
