When creating the new Beijing sub-centre Library, Sn\u00f8hetta and its partners have strived to meet the highest standards possible when it comes to sustainability. The roof has integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) construction elements that replace the conventional roofing and facade materials, utilizing the prime exposure of the rooftop to sunlight for renewable energy production and creating one of the most environmentally friendly roofs possible. The roof also has an overhang to reduce solar gain. The glass height has been reduced on the walls facing east and west, as well as adding an active sun-shading device facing the south and west fa\u00e7ade. The glass itself is an insulated glass unit with Low-E- performance. All the major materials for the construction have been sourced locally, and the use of modular components with a rationalized structural grid has been used to reduce the need for customization for both the columns and the roof.<\/p>\n<p>The new <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Beijing\">Beijing sub-center library<\/a> is due to be completed by end of 2022.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-1548 gallery-columns-4 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/2022\/04\/15\/snohetta-designs-a-library-for-the-future-in-beijing\/snohetta-newcapitallibrarybeijing-aspire-copyrightplomp\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Snohetta-NewCapitalLibraryBeijing-Aspire-CopyrightPlomp-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Snohetta -
