The climate and weather in Wuhan,Hubei, China ( my project locatation ) is totally different to Portland, OR.

It is not as wet as Portland, and there is not much rain except for the rainy season although the city is cutting through by Yangtze River. Its summer is extremely hot and long, and the winter there is mild-cold and dry.  And the region code doesn’t require heating.  So the importance to the project is focusing on sun shading, dayligh, ventilation and water management.

Since the housing units are all on upper level of the building, and the massing of the whole project forms shading for the lower-level public using.The atrium in the middle of each towers will create more stack ventilation.

More improvement is coming after.
