What is the biggest exhibit in the BROAD Pavilion? The building itself.
Rome wasn’t built in one day, but the BROAD pavilion has stood up in one day. From the 3 minute movie, visitors can see that on March 6, 2010 BROAD built this 6 floor, 2000m2 building, including external walls, windows, floors and roofs, in 24 hours. All components were factory made and assembled by bolts, without traditional civil engineering and decoration. This is one miracle in human history, but a much bigger miracle is the “965201”
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.
