Chinese Hotel Construction Time Lapse Video, Building 15 Storeys in 2 Days


Level 9 Earthquake Resistance: diagonal bracing structure, light weight, steel construction, passed level 9 earthquake resistance testing

6x Less Material: even though the construction materials are much lighter(250kg/m2) than the traditional materials(over 1500kg/m2), the floors and walls are solid with surefootedness, airtight and sound-proofing

5x Energy Efficient: 150mm thermal insulation for walls and roofs, triple glazed plastic windows, external solar shading, heat insulation, fresh air heat recovery, LED lighting, yearly HAVC A/C energy consumption equivalent to 7 liters oil.

20x Purification: after 3 levels of purification, the purification efficiency for fresh air reaches 95%-99.9%; air exchanged 1-2.5 times per hour, and indoor air is 20x cleaner than out door air

1% Construction Waste: all components are factory made, construction waste, mainly package materials, result from on site set-up only and amount to 1% of the total weight of the building.

This is the first building in human history which combines almost all environmental friendly, comfortable and secure elements.

So, we call it: Sustainable Building

Meanwhile, in the Philippines, it is reported that one 15-storey government building will be built but it will take 2 years for conceptualization and design, another 2 years for the bidding, and re-bidding, and more re-bidding. Lucky are the taxpayers if it the building is done inside 2 years.  Eco-friendly construction ways and pre-fab technology & methodology are already present and being done here in the Philippines, it’s the bureaucracy that delays the projects.
