Innovative Energy Design for Energy Efficient Buildings - An Example from the Bullitt Center

In recent years, the extreme climate caused by global warming has brought serious consequences to the world. In order to alleviate the problem of global warming, many scholars have started to analyse energy-saving green buildings. Taking the Bullitt Center as an example, this paper illustrates the innovative applications of energy-efficient buildings in solar power generation, rainwater collection and utilization, toilet water conservation and resource utilization and room temperature regulation. It focuses on the differences in the use of solar power generation in winter and summer, the process of purification of rainwater into water, the comparison between composting toilets and vacuum toilets and the steps of regulating the room temperature by windows and ground-source heat pumps. This paper also talks about the limitations of these innovative applications. It could probably give reference to the subsequent construction of buildings, thus promoting energy saving and emission reduction in buildings and mitigating global warming.
