The Residence Maximum Height According to the Perfect Building Form Coefficient

Abstract:

The perfect building form coefficient (I call it “C”) as I mean, if we stand still (I mean thatwe still need rectangle space), is the quotient equal to the cylinder volume of a building divided by thebuilding’s surface. So if we regard the building envelope material is same, the best form is a cylinderform from the point of the ecological view. According to the Chinese architectural regulation Codefor fire protection design of tall building GB50045-95 (Version 2005), the maximum unit area withone unit exit in a tall residence is approximately 1256 m2 with a circle contour. As we make 3formulas: maximum C = πr2h / (2πr2 + 2πrh) = r/4 = h/4 , we can include that the residence maximumheight according to the perfect building form coefficient is 20 m, the residence form will be a cylinderand the cylinder’s radius is 20 m. But as a tall residence which is taller than 24m according to theChinese fire-protection regulation clauses, the building’s form can be a cluster of several cylindervolumes and each height is 20 m.
