Bhutan Law Library: Bridging Tradition and Passive Design

Join our April Project Showcase for an in-depth discussion on the fusion of high performance building strategies with traditional architectural aesthetics in the newly constructed library at the Jigme Singye Wangchuck School of Law in the Kingdom of Bhutan. Cory Hawbreaker, Sustainability Director at Holst, will delve into the challenges and possibilities encountered when striving for ambitious sustainability objectives in regions where the construction industry lacks familiarity with advanced techniques and where access to materials is severely limited.
Attendees will learn about strategies employed by the project team to make ambitious sustainability goals achievable in local communities which have limited access to materials and experience with high performance building construction techniques.

Thorsten Chlupp's work on building integrated thermal storage is really worth looking into. Storage is the key problem with transitioning to cheap non fossil generation. I would not be surprised if we start including ~1m3/100m2 of storage in the near future.
