NetZero – carbon neutral living in Brno
Thunová, Nicola Vanesa ; Gebauer, Pavel (referee) ; Sedláček, Michal (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the design of an apartment block conceptually designed as a carbon-neutral building in Brno. The selected object is a continuation of the pre-diploma project PURE CITY, in which a set of buildings was designed as part of the urban study, which dealt with the issue of NET ZERO within the urban and social scale. The demarcated area is located in the cadastral area of Starý Lískovec on Jihlavská street near the new Západní Brána (West Gate) stop and not far from the campus of the Bohunice Faculty Hospital. The NET ZERO concept deals with sustainability and the effort to achieve a neutral balance of carbon footprints throughout the building's life cycle. The inner block is designed as a set of 8 housing sectors. The inner space of the park-like courtyard is used for staying and relaxing and is a completely private space for the residents of the block. The building in the corner parts reaches up to 7 above-ground floors, thus responding to the orientation to the cardinal points. In terms of shape, it prescribes a rational rectangular shape from the north side, but on the south side, the facade is slanted, as it was necessary to give way to the ongoing existing communication. The apartments are designed in several categories and mainly aim at the density of the population. The apartments are complemented by spacious balconies, and the apartments on the ground floor have terraces located at the street line, which demarcate public and private space with a double barrier and height difference. The height difference thus also responds to the descending terrain, which reaches a height difference of up to 3.5 m on the southern side. On the ground floors in direct contact with the street line, active parterres with smaller shops or services are designed, or WORK and LIVE housing units, which combine work environments, such as studios, with living space. These spaces are designed over 2 above-ground floors in the style of a loft apartment. The roof plane is designed as flat roofs in several height levels, on which are located private terraces for residential apartments, located on the highest floors, as well as community gardens for residents of the inner block, and a large part is occupied by an extensive green roof supplemented by photovoltaic panels for pumping solar energy.
