Key Environmental Features

The sended of the national assembly of Wales is located in Cardiff. It opened  on Feb 7th in 2006.In addition ,the structure of Seneded is built to save an effective  energy.

First of all, One of the most important factor to save an effective energy is the funnel .The main purpose o the funnel is to allowing ventilation and natural  light .Secondly, natural ventilation . Natural ventilation has been incorporated to reduce the buildings energy . Thirdly, The earth heat exchanger system . the system of th heat exchanger is used  summer  and in the winter .Moreover , This system is very useful  to feel comfortable at all seasons .Finally the biomass boiler and water . The building uses wood biomass to reduce the carbon for heating and to achieve a good breeam rating . Another important method which is used on the building to saving the water  the collection of rainwater from the of known as gery water .

In conclusion , The whole life cost also key to the selection of materials. So whilst within the building would been cheaper initially, over the life of the building would have significantly more expensive.
