<p>This invention seeks to create infrastructure of an energetically self-sufficient city-building, particularly for horizontally and vertically oversized buildings allowing generation of all necessary energy from renewable energy sources and its efficient utilization in the main systems of ventilation/conditioning, water supply, interior lighting, and internal transportation. When city-building is a high-rise building or a group thereof, air temperature and air pressure difference at the base and at the top of the building is utilized for energy generation and conservation. Energy is conserved by efficient ventilation/conditioning system tapping air from the top of the building where it is cooler; vehicles descending in 3-dimentional transportation system generate electric energy and send it to the general power grid of the building; water is elevated to the top of the building in the form of vapor; internal lighting system utilizes concentrated daylight transmitted via optical fibers; electricity is generated in hermetic tubes spanning the whole height of the building, inside of which pressure difference produces air flow that is powering turbines.</p> |
