Summary

The building envelope system of National Swimming Center (Water Cube) comprises a series of ETFE panelled units that are mounted as internal and external skins. The number of ETFE layers and the density of frits painted on ETFE are designed differently to optimize the heat transfer coefficient and shading coefficient. Meanwhile, mechanical ventilation is used within the cavity of the building envelope to reduce the cooling load in the summer. Using a simulation software, the authors simulate and analyse the energy saving effects of passive solar gain, day-lighting, cavity ventilation and natural ventilation of this building envelope system. Simulates and compares the annual energy consumption between the Water Cube and a reference building set up by the relevant standard. The result shows that the energy-saving effect of this building envelope system is significant.
