A Sustainable Design

Location: Panyijiar county, Ganyiel, South Sudan, Africa

Schematic Design- 2008-09-Present

Hand Sketch Design

37,600 sqft: Total enclosed site of all building foot print areas

Library with Administration building: 4,400 sqft

Total sqft: Stationary Shop, Kitchen, Latrines and Well area: 2,086sqft

Garden: 1,900 sqft

Features of Sustainable Design:

-Passive design features in energy use, water, materials, site, waste and air quality

-Orientation of building align with Southwestery and North winds

-Ventilation and cooling through building: Garden and Trees on wind side

-Corridor acts as 'wind catcher'. Evacuating hot interior air.

-Materials all local and maintain cool buildings.

-Local contruction practice use

-Exterior shell either burnt brick and concrete masonry unit(cmu) block

-All Trees and vegetation local with replanting of trees for every Timber used in

building structure and interior

-Recycling practice for faciltiy and Waste Management

-Renewable Energy: Sustainable Power Generation: Use of Wind (wind turbines)

and Sun (solar PV)

-Rain catchement system from roof for water use: Geometry of roof

-Handicapped Accessible at all buildings

-Hygiene Issues: Latrine have water reuse from rain catchment sytem

-Garden for cooling at building and local vegetable production by facility

-Kitchen: solar cooking and refrigeration powered by wind and sun power
