Abstract

The complicated and free structural form of the PTW National Swimming Centre, which was the venue of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, originates from the delicate and simple variation of the planned system. It is a new building miracle, which integrates the latest research results of green, eco-friendly and energy conserving buildings in the green swimming pool and is designed based on the green and eco-friendly building standards in full consideration of energy conservation, use of environmentally friendly materials and protection of water resources. The PTW National Swimming Centre is a typical environmentally- friendly and energy-conserving building. It pioneers the systematic energy-conserving and environmentally-friendly building of China in the field of promoting and marketing eco-friendly and energy conserving buildings and it is very meaningful. In this paper, the technical design of the PTW National Swimming Centre in terms of water conservation and environmental protection is analyzed and interpreted deeply to facilitate the promotion of environmental protection technology.
