Meanwhile, there has been one positive development from the United States: according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, in 2019\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/todayinenergy\/detail.php?id=43895\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">U.S. annual energy consumption<\/a>\u00a0from renewable sources exceeded coal consumption for the first time since before 1885.<\/p><p>The construction industry has not been unmoved by these developments. There is a growing understanding within the sector that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/344581\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">buildings must be made<\/a>\u00a0smarter, greener and healthier. Consequently, environmentally friendly techniques are more frequently seen in new construction projects.<\/p><p>In Korea, the National Institute of Ecology (NIE), the largest ecological greenhouse in Asia, provides the typical example of eco-friendly construction techniques from its planning stage to its architectural characteristics. Built by Samsung C&amp;T\u2019s Engineering &amp; Construction (E&amp;C) Group, this structure includes several examples of technology in the area of energy reduction, utilization of renewable energy, and decreasing direct CO2 emissions. Not only that, but the NIE\u2019s design follows the contours of nature to create a unique visual effect.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-01945d1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"01945d1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/NIE-photo-1-1.png\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MzcyNDQsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9uZXdzLnNhbXN1bmdjbnQuY29tXC91cGxvYWRcLzIuMFwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvc2l0ZXNcLzNcLzIwMjBcLzA3XC9OSUUtcGhvdG8tMS0xLnBuZyJ9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"396\" src=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/NIE-photo-1-1.png\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-37244\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/NIE-photo-1-1.png 940w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/NIE-photo-1-1-300x155.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-121df67 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"121df67\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Working with nature to build better<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-68e548a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"68e548a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>As one would expect with a greenhouse, the NIE has large windows to allow natural light and heat in, reducing the need to use electricity for lighting. That\u2019s not all. In fact, by using triple-glazed glass for climate control (to prevent heat loss or excess heat from coming in), high density insulation on building exteriors, and waste heat recovery units, the NIE is able to cut overall energy consumption by more than 70 percent.<\/p><p>Various types of renewable energy are used in combination at the NIE, totaling more than half of its operating energy needs. Geothermal energy is used in heat pumps to reduce heating and cooling bills by taking advantage of a constant and stable supply of heat from below the earth\u2019s surface. Recycled and waste wood, rather than oil or gas, is used as fuel for lignocellulosic biomass boilers that supply heating, air conditioning and hot water. In terms of solar energy, the NIE has an active solar system that heats water using warmth from the sun and uses it for hot water. It also has rooftop-mounted photovoltaic panels that produce some of the electricity used inside the buildings.<\/p><p>In the space around the buildings a forest of willow trees has been planted. Willow trees absorb more carbon than many other types of tree. The forest at the NIE can absorb about 745 tons annually, offsetting 86 percent of the emissions generated each year by operating the complex.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d378439 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d378439\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/NIE-photo-2-1.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MzcyNDUsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9uZXdzLnNhbXN1bmdjbnQuY29tXC91cGxvYWRcLzIuMFwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvc2l0ZXNcLzNcLzIwMjBcLzA3XC9OSUUtcGhvdG8tMi0xLmpwZyJ9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"542\" src=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/NIE-photo-2-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-37245\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/NIE-photo-2-1.jpg 940w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/NIE-photo-2-1-300x212.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f66abd0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f66abd0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Learning from nature to build better<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-97f6ae3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"97f6ae3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Nature does not often show straight lines, and even more rarely right angles. Most living things, whether flora or fauna, show curves. Inspired by this principle, Korea\u2019s NIE has been designed to resemble natural forms in its shape. This is why so many of its surfaces are curved and flowing, rather than straight and angular.<\/p><p>There are two types of curved surfaces: one-way curved and multiple-curved surfaces. A one-way curved surface is created by taking a flat plane and bending it once, like when making a cylinder. A multiple-curved surface includes several different curves in its design. Multiple-curved surfaces\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pdfs.semanticscholar.org\/1a66\/9fc465360d9585d4d03b6773abc486fb3b91.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">are often employed<\/a>\u00a0by making one large curved structure out of many small pieces, for example the Dongdaemun Design Plaza. Using panels with multiple-curved surfaces is difficult because it requires special manufacturing methods. When using them in construction, a two-dimensional blueprint is not appropriate \u2013 three-dimensional Building Information Modeling (BIM) is necessary.<\/p><p>Most curved surfaces in the NIE are one-way curves, and multiple-curved panels are used to connect one-way panels to each other. Overall, the effect is distinctive, giving the NIE the appearance of being something that has grown up from the ground rather than a building that has been constructed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e5f3346 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e5f3346\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/NIE-photo-3-1.png\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MzcyNDYsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9uZXdzLnNhbXN1bmdjbnQuY29tXC91cGxvYWRcLzIuMFwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvc2l0ZXNcLzNcLzIwMjBcLzA3XC9OSUUtcGhvdG8tMy0xLnBuZyJ9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"476\" src=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/NIE-photo-3-1.png\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-37246\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/NIE-photo-3-1.png 940w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/NIE-photo-3-1-300x186.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-afe5760 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"afe5760\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In its construction, Korea\u2019s National Institute of Ecology has both learned from and worked in consideration of nature, becoming something that is both aesthetically appealing and environmentally friendly.
