Abstract
This project consists of an architectural, structural, and mechanical design for a submission

to the eVolo Skyscraper competition of 2019. The proposed high-rise building attempts to solve a

real societal issue in San Francisco, CA. This project proposes a sustainable, cost-effective, and

innovative design that will give homeless people an opportunity for rehabilitation and solve a

relevant problem in San Francisco today. Our architectural concept included an exterior structural

mesh construction and a multi-occupancy design.

MQP Design Statement

Sustainability
It is becoming imperative to integrate sustainable design in the built environment because

buildings are one of the highest contributors to the hundreds of billions of tons of excess carbon in

the atmosphere.1 The negative impact of this on the ozone and natural ecosystems is compounded

by the fact that majority of energy resources used today are non-renewable and will be depleted in

the coming years.2 Sustainable alternatives were considered during all parts of the building design,

and had major impacts on the energy use, economy, and aesthetics of the skyscraper.

Economics
Despite the government’s prolific agenda, the San Francisco homeless population has only

begun to be mitigated. The government has spent $1.5 Billion since 2004 on Care Not Cash and

spends about $165 Million annually on other homeless services. 3 The amount of interest in and the

volume of spending on the homeless indicates that Resurgence Tower will be able to obtain

government funding. By locating the skyscraper in an area with a high homeless population and

insufficient affordable housing, the “housing ladder” idea will be a feasible proposition.

Safety
San Francisco is located in an area that is susceptible to various natural disasters. Rising

sea levels cause floods, the close proximity to fault lines raise concern for structural integrity, and

wildfires in nearby areas cause air pollution and pose a threat to development. The skyscraper is

built to sustain the impact of these and other effects of nature. The building was designed in

accordance to the IBC, ASCE 7-10, and the California Building Code.

Comfort
The mechanical, electrical, and lighting systems were designed to meet the requirements

set forth by the California Energy Code as well as ASHRAE Standard 55.

Executive Summary
California lays claim to the highest homeless population in the United States. The state,

which also contains some of the highest population densities in the country, is plagued with

overpopulated shelters that leave many homeless people on the streets to fend for themselves.

These displaced people need a path that will take them off the streets and integrate them into the

community, as this crisis transcends the immediate implications. The economy and social structure

of cities like San Francisco is at stake.

Resurgence Tower provides a solution to this impending emergency through its housing

opportunities. The multi-occupancy design of the skyscraper offers space for everyone, from those

displaced by natural disasters to the wealthy tech designers of Silicon Valley. The inclusion of a

mall, rentable office space, and premium residential suites permits the apartments available for the

homeless and displaced to be had free of charge. Residents of Resurgence Tower are able to take

advantage of the vocational space in the building to further their education and obtain the skills

needed for success in the modern world. In addition to the educational opportunities, the mall on

the first six floors will serve San Francisco as an entertainment and commercial hub. The revenue

opportunities afforded by the mall will be supplemented by leasing ten floors of office space. The

unique shape of the tower offers businesses a highly visible and easily recognizable landmark

Perhaps the most notable features of the building are the three glass bubbles. These bubbles

contain, respectively, a park, a beach, and a farm. The park and beach offer an environment

conducive to leisure and relaxation. Use of the urban garden is limited to residents and provides

them with a means to live sustainably and grow their own local produce.

The structural system is capable of withstanding the natural disasters common in

California, including wind, wildfires, and earthquakes. Core bracing, perimeter moment frames,
 Page |v

and vertical and horizontal trusses were implemented to resist seismic loads. Since the shape of

the building is irregular, the DNA-like structural system provided a means to combat both wind

and seismic loads. This system is composed of a steel beam and concrete-filled steel tube column

frame with RC cores. The RC cores resist the majority of lateral forces, while the vertical forces

are mainly resisted by a combination of the RC cores and steel-concrete composite frame.

The Tower also seeks environmental sustainability with the incorporation of solar panels

into the glass of the façade as well as a magnetic wind turbine. The implementation of more

efficient HVAC and lighting systems reduce the building’s overall energy consumption by 25%

from baseline systems. The process for these calculations is set forth in the ASHRAE Fundamentals

of HVAC Handbook. Resurgence Tower functions as a multi-purpose skyscraper that focuses on

helping the homeless and victims of natural disasters while serving as a central hub to the city of

San Francisco. Ultimately, this building seeks to reduce homelessness in San Francisco while

changing the way society looks at skyscrapers. Skyscrapers can be used to tackle real-world issues

and with the multi-occupancy design of this building, the opportunities are endless.

1. Introduction
The eVolo Skyscraper Competition is a competition that challenges professional architects,

students, and various designers by identifying a social issue that can be solved with an innovative

high-rise building. The goal of the competition is to redefine how skyscrapers are designed and

what purpose they will serve. To enter the competition, a proposal highlighting the building's

concept must be submitted (Appendix A.1.1). This proposal should include all materials, steps,

and considerations made for the submitted design. Teams are then judged on the innovation and

creative architecture of their high-rise.

The competition tasks participants to consider advancements in technology, sustainable

systems, and the establishment of new urban and architectural methods to solve economic, social,

and cultural problems around the world. The competition is also designed to explore and adapt

new dynamic habitats to establish a connection between man and nature. A connection that is

capable of instilling growth in society around us. The eVolo Competition is determined to inspire

the imagination of designers and challenge the way buildings are created.

1.1 Site Selection

The location for the skyscraper was chosen by identifying the societal issue that could be

solved with a high-rise building. The team looked to California because of the current natural

disasters, and the mass displacement of people caused by these events. San Francisco has been

struggling to relocate a large population of unsheltered homeless people. People who are homeless

due to natural disasters and economic reasons, cannot go to shelters due to the amount of homeless

people in the area. Developing a solution to this problem can improve the economy and social

structure of San Francisco.

 Page |7

Once we decided the location, the next task was to find an available site that would not

radically disrupt the surrounding neighborhood. A location near the financial district was optimal

because there is a large population of homeless and a low concentration of Single Room

Occupancy, SRO, housing.4 With a height restriction of 850 feet on this particular lot, we decided

that our 600 foot tall skyscraper would be approved for this location. This location is shown in

Figure 1.

This area of San Francisco contains many improperly designed skyscrapers. 5 These

buildings use a steel moment frame with welded joints at beams and columns. Based on the

information available at the time. The engineers believed this design would be ductile and bend

under an earthquake load. Instead, the frames fracture at critical joints behind the façade but show

no outward signs of distress. With over 60 buildings in the area with this design flaw, action must

be taken to encourage safer building practices. We took this into consideration as we began work

on the structure of our building. The highlighted buildings in Figure 2 are the buildings with the

design error.

Another imperative in the site selection process was its economic and societal impacts.

According to 2017 data, California has upwards of 130,000 people without homes on any given

night, giving the state the highest homeless population in the country. 7 For about 40 years, the state

and local San Francisco governments have sponsored numerous programs that aimed to solve the

homeless problem. More recent initiatives, such as Care Not Cash (2004) and the Ten-Year Plan

(2004), have helped to move over 19,000 people off the streets and into supportive housing. This

decrease in the population of chronically homeless equates to a 51% drop. Charitable organizations

also offer help for the homeless.8 The National Alliance to End Homelessness, County Adult

Assistance Programs, and Pathways Housing First have sponsored rapid rehousing and permanent

supportive housing programs in San Francisco and the US as a whole. Current San Francisco

mayor, Ed Lee, pushed for the acceptance of a “housing ladder”, where the homeless progress

through stages of care, job training, and housing until they have reached a level where they can

afford a permanent home and live on their own. 9

1.2 Climate
San Francisco has a dry climate from May to October. From November to April the

precipitation level increases but the average tends to not exceed 5”. Throughout the year the

average high temperature in San Francisco is 62.3°F and the average low is 50.8°F. Figure 3

displays the average monthly temperature and precipitation trends in the city.

We wanted to incorporate building-integrated wind turbines, because San Francisco is a

windy city. In terms of the design, Resurgence Tower had to be taller than the surrounding

buildings to harness the wind’s power. Figure 4 includes a chart of the average wind speed and

directions of the wind in San Francisco. Knowing this information helped to determine the

placement of the proposed building and the position of the wind turbine. On average, the windiest

month in San Francisco is May with an average wind speed of 14 mph, while the least windy

months are January and December at 7 mph. Wind speed is an integral factor, as the minimum cut-

in speed for wind turbines is roughly 6-8 m/s (11-17 mph)11. The addition of wind turbines would

work in San Francisco.

2. Architectural Design

2.1 Introduction
The design and flow of a building defines the user experience. The exterior of Resurgence

Tower is a stimulating shape that draws pedestrians in to see what the building offers. The ample

mall space and large open rooms on the vocational and office floors welcome visitors to explore

and interact with their functions. As a whole, the architectural design of the building welcomes

relaxation and excitement.

Figure 5: Cayan Tower (Left), Strata SE1 (Center), and FECHAC Headquarters (Right)

Many existing buildings including the Cayan Tower, Strata SE1, and FECHAC

Headquarters were studied before design work began on Resurgence Tower. This provided a better

idea of what kind of innovation worked, and what architectural features improved quality of life

for building occupants and visitors. Borrowing innovative aspects from different buildings would

create a stimulating user experience within Resurgence Tower. Skyscrapers were evaluated on

shape and sustainability.

 P a g e | 13

The 75 story, 1,010 ft. tall Cayan Tower of Dubai, is a square-based building that twists a

full 90 degrees from the base to the top. The skyscraper is a luxury apartment building with a

helical shape, twisting 1.2 degrees on each floor around a solid concrete core. The support columns

used to achieve the rotated look are stepped and transfer loads through concrete slabs that act in

the same way as a pile cap. By using the stepped design and not using overly angled columns, the

structure is not vulnerable to the secondary effect of twisting caused by gravity. 12 The unique shape

of the Cayan Tower, was inspiration in creating a similarly unorthodox façade for Resurgence

Tower. The Strata SE1 building in Southwark, London used innovative green design strategies

incorporated into the façade. At 486 feet tall, this skyscraper takes advantage of an atmosphere

conducive to wind turbines. The use of wind power reduces the cost of the building over time, due

to a smaller energy bill.

One drawback of the Strata SE1 came from its inclusion of affordable housing; with no job

opportunities or resources in close proximity for those residents, the vast majority of affordable

units did not sell.13 This encouraged the inclusion of vocational spaces in Resurgence Tower,

which provides for educational and career development opportunities. The FECHAC Headquarters

in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico was also influential in the design of Resurgence Tower, because it

includes energy saving techniques such as sun shades and a green roof. The area surrounding

Resurgence Tower is, in theory, capable of being reinvigorated by resources provided by this

skyscraper.14

2.2 Architectural Program

Resurgence Tower contains several different occupancy categories. The building is divided

into mercantile, vocational, office, and residential space, as seen in Figure 6. The mercantile floors

house a combination of restaurants, snack stands, and department stores. The vocational floors

offer classes to improve professional life skills including resume help, GED classes, and vocational

training. The office space is designed to be flexible to fit the needs of any company that rents the

space. The residential apartment floors of the building accommodate people ranging from the

homeless to the affluent. Since the apartments that are available to homeless people are of no cost

to the occupant, the expenses are offset by the income from the higher-class apartments, as well as

retail and office spaces. Other amenities offered in this building include a beach, a park, and an

urban farm which are located in the glass bubbles. These features are available to the building

occupants to improve their health and quality of life.

Figure 6: Architectural Program

 P a g e | 15

Each floor of the occupancy categories was further subdivided into room types that are

required for that occupancy category. For example, the residences had spaces allocated for

bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, and living areas. Table 1 lists what types of rooms each

occupancy was divided into; the specific floor areas allocated per room per floor can be found in

Appendix B.1.1.

2.3 Revit and Dynamo

Resurgence Tower was modeled in Revit to produce detailed building renders,

technical drawings, and material take-offs. Due to the exceedingly complex shape of the

building, the internal structure had to be modeled first, then the façade, and then the

interior systems and elements. One major flaw in Revit is its inability to bypass parameters

that are automatically assigned to each element type. For example, Revit will not allow walls to

slope on an angle from one point to another. This made modeling the exterior building walls

impossible to model directly in Revit since the entire building is twisting on an incline. However,

using Dynamo, a Revit plug-in, that allows for modeling complex geometries and objects that

can then be imported into the Revit model using strings of code. Figure 7 shows the code strand

that was used to create a solid object that connects each individual floor to the next. The

code boxes, highlighted in green, identified the specific floors that that strand was to connect.

This process was repeated for each of the 40 floors to create a surface that covers the entire

building as shown in Figure 8.

 P a g e | 16

Figure 7: Dynamo Code Strand

 P a g e | 17

Figure 8: Exterior Building Render

The code strand from Figure 7 subsequently created a surface that connected most of the

floors of the building; however, it could not be used to connect the floors where the building splits

to create an opening for each of the bubbles. In these cases, another code box was necessary to

complete the geometry which is highlighted in blue in Figure 9.

 P a g e | 18

 P a g e | 19

After modeling the façade in Dynamo and importing it into Revit, detailed layouts were

made for one example floor of each occupancy located in Appendix A.1.2. These layouts allow

for a visual conceptualization of the interior of the building. The actual layouts of furniture,

lighting, and other systems would be up to the occupants to decide. Once the layout for each

occupancy was completed, they were rendered in the Revit. The render for each occupancy is

located in Figure 10.

2.4 Building Envelope

The envelope of the skyscraper is the separator between the conditioned interior and the

unconditioned exterior. We designed the building’s façade and underlying structure to maintain

this balance and take advantage of the environmental conditions in San Francisco. The exterior

façade of Resurgence Tower is composed of windows with photovoltaic cells incorporated into

the glass which is discussed further in Section 4.7.2.2. The tinted glass absorbs infrared and

ultraviolet light and protects occupants from harmful exposure to light. The windows are supported

by a steel and concrete framing system that also supports the glass bubbles.

The bubbles are a unique and innovative idea incorporated within the façade of Resurgence

Tower. The glass spheres are made of photovoltaic cells embedded within glass panels held in

place by steel mullions. The mullions are anchored into place with screws and plumb with the top

and bottom surfaces, and where the concrete floor passes through. Caulking covers the screws and

other connections between the mullions and the building surfaces to decrease risk of leakage and

maintain the integrity of the building’s interior.

 P a g e | 21

3. Structural Design

3.1 Introduction
In the structural design phase, the framing system, materials, loading, and member sizing

were all considered and analyzed. The structural system was selected based on safety and code

compliance, innovation, and historical context.

With Resurgence Tower being a refuge for both the homeless and people affected by

natural disasters, safety was a high priority. The selected systems had to be capable of sustaining

natural forces including wind, wildfires, and earthquakes. These requirements limited the

materials, as well as the system and framing.

The eVolo competition focuses on innovation as a key component. This meant that the

building systems must be creative and novel without sacrificing safety. Additionally, the

competition focuses on applying the historical context of skyscrapers to the design. Combining

this with innovation meant that the structure must provide something new while touching upon the

roots of the skyscraper to build vertical rather than horizontal.

In order to select a structural system, the team investigated buildings and structural systems

created with natural disasters in mind. The Taipei 101 building (Figure 11) and the DNA-like

structural system study (Figure 12) both had an impact on the chosen system for this project. Taipei

101 had to be designed to resist seismic loads due to its geometry and location. In Taipei 101, core

bracing, perimeter moment frames, and vertical and horizontal trussing were implemented to

combat seismic loads. With the irregular shape of Resurgence Tower, implementing a design

similar to the DNA-like structural system study provided a means to combat both wind and

earthquake loads. The DNA system is composed of steel beams and concrete-filled steel tube
 P a g e | 22

column frame with reinforced concrete, RC, cores.15 The RC cores resisted the majority of the

lateral forces, while the vertical forces are resisted by a combination of the RC cores and steel-

concrete composite frame.

Figure 11: Taipei 101 Building Structure16

Figure 12: DNA Double Helix Structure17

The team used these precedent studies to create the structural system seen in the structural

sections located in Appendix A.2.1. This system consists of two cores and reinforced concrete

columns, beams and floor slabs to complete the skeleton. Each spiral tower contains one core to

account for the lateral and vertical forces. The columns and beams provide additional support in

terms of the vertical loading. In order to assist with lateral and seismic forces, the two towers are

anchored together by connection bridges, which strengthen the entire structure by reducing the

drift angle at the locations where the bridges combine the two towers.

Reinforced concrete was chosen due to the fact that it is readily available and relatively

inexpensive. Additionally, reinforced concrete offers significant strength since it can withstand

large compressive loads and steel reinforcement resists tensile loads. Combining the two materials

provides strength and ductility, which is critical in terms of safety. Sudden failures are usually the

most detrimental, but properly designed reinforced concrete provides a period of yielding where

cracking begins to occur, providing time for the problem to be fixed before catastrophic failure.

3.2 Loads
Loads are the forces that structural members must endure. Dead loads, live loads, wind

loads, and seismic loads were especially relevant in the design process of Resurgence Tower.

3.2.1 Dead & Live Loads

Dead loads for this project include the cores, glass façade, glass bubbles, flooring system,

framing steel, internal walls, park, beach, and farm. Table 2 indicates the dead load for each

respective component, as well as the total dead load for the building.

Live loads represent any occupants or non-permanent gravitational loads. For this project,

people and furniture were the live loads considered. Values for live load complied with the 2015

International Building Code, IBC18. Table 3 identifies the different occupancies and their

associated live loads. The live loads for each floor were added together to obtain a total live load

3.2.3 Seismic Loads

Seismic loads occur when an earthquake affects a building’s structure. It is important to

account for seismic loads when designing the structure of a building because they can produce

large amounts of lateral stress on members. There are many different steps that must be followed

to calculate the lateral loads that result from seismic activity. First, it is important to determine the

values associated with the site that the building is on as well as the categories related to the

building’s occupancy and risk to human life. The important values here include the building

occupancy category, spectral response acceleration parameters, site class, site coefficients, risk

category, and seismic design category. The detailed calculations for the seismic load can be found

in Appendix B.2.4. The distribution of seismic forces along the building’s height is shown in

Figure 14.

3.3 Sizing Structural Members

3.3.1 Structural Cores & Foundation

In order to determine the core size, the team used a balancing equation to ensure the

moment the cores could handle was greater than the overturning moment of the lateral loads acting

on the building. Figure 15 shows that the cores are able to resist more than twice the amount of

moment acting on the building, which provides a large margin of safety. Appendix B.2.5 includes

a detailed calculation of how the cores were sized. The RC cores transfer the loads from the

building into the mat + pile foundation. The sizing for the foundation can also be found in

Appendix B.2.5.

 P a g e | 28

3.3.2 Intermediary Framing

The intermediary framing for the building transfers the vertical loading through the floors

to the foundation. To standardize the calculations for each floor, a 15’x15’ column grid was

established as shown in the structural drawings in Appendix A.2.2. Also, the columns were

specified to be concrete-filled steel tubes, CFST, with a steel thickness of ⅜” as shown in Figure

16. An interesting thing to note is that despite the columns of the ground floor supporting the load

of the entire building, the necessary diameter for the CFST columns of the ground floor is only

10” while the diameter required for the CFST columns on level 10 is 14”. This is because the

floor area of level 10 is significantly smaller than that of the ground floor and therefore hosts

significantly less columns. The calculations for framing sizes per floor are located in Appendix

B.2.6.

4. Building Systems & Sustainable Design

4.1 Introduction
Though it is difficult to quantitatively measure, human comfort is an important factor to

consider when designing a new building. Similar to all jurisdictions, California has a set of comfort

standards. Calculations were therefore based on the regulations set forth in the California Energy

Code, ASHRAE Standard 55, and the National Electrical Code. The calculations yielded a baseline

for the sustainability design and analysis.

4.2 Electrical Load Calculations

To calculate the electrical loads for the building, first the number of outlets required for

each occupancy classification was found then multiplied by the amperage and voltage for that

outlet type. The National Electrical Code stipulates that there should be no stretch of wall greater

than 6 feet without an outlet. This means that there needs to be an outlet every 12 feet along any

given wall. To get a rough estimate of the number of outlets and energy needed for the entire

building, a detailed wall layout plan was created for one floor of each occupancy type as shown in

Appendix A.3.1. Using these and the exterior façade walls, the linear feet of wall per floor was

totaled to get the number of outlets that a particular occupancy classification would require. Then

the number of outlets for that floor was divided by the square foot area of the floor to get an outlet

density factor for each occupancy type. Using the calculated outlet density factors, the number of

outlets was calculated per floor by its designated occupancy classification. From there, the

electrical load was calculated using the equation, Watts=n•V•A. The results are located in
 P a g e | 30

Appendix B.3.1. The NEC20 states that a typical outlet carries 120 volts and 20 amps; however, it

also states that higher voltage outlets, 240 volts, are required for large appliances such as

refrigerators and stoves. One refrigerator and stove per restaurant and residence was approximated

as shown in Appendix B.3.1. The total electrical loads per occupancy classification are shown in

Table 5.

4.3 Lighting

4.3.1 Comfort Standards

According to Mui and Wong21, the amount of light required to comfortably accomplish

tasks associated with a given room changes from room to room depending on the designated

purpose of that room. For example, kitchens require a lot more lighting than a bedroom or living

area. In Section 2.2, the different occupancies were divided into room types. Table 6 lists those

room types and their respective comfortable light intensity values.

4.3.2 Lighting Load Calculations

The following calculations provide the amount of lighting that would be necessary to meet

comfort standards for the entire building with no daylight entering from the outside. The efficiency

of the light varies based on the type and manufacturer of bulb. For example, a common A19

incandescent light used in residential spaces has an efficiency of 17 lumens per watt whereas an

LED version of that light has an efficiency of 90 lumens per watt. In order to calculate the lighting
 P a g e | 32

loads to create the energy baseline, data was used from an A19 incandescent for the residential

areas and a 2’x2’ fluorescent troffer light for the commercial areas. The detailed spreadsheet of

the calculated required lighting per room type per floor is located in Appendix B.3.2, and the

residential and non-residential totals are shown in Table 7.

4.3.3 Daylighting

Daylight has profound effects on humans. Exposure to daylight has been shown to increase

Vitamin D, which prevents harmful diseases. Daylight exposure also increases serotonin levels

and helps realign circadian rhythms. 22 For these reasons and more, the International Green

Construction Code, California Energy Code, and International Energy Conservation Code stipulate

requirements for daylighting in buildings. Some requirements include floor area that needs to be

daylit and shading apertures. Resurgence Tower was designed in compliance with these standards

with the incorporation of the polarized glass of the façade.

4.4 Thermal Comfort

ASHRAE Standard 5523 quantitatively defines thermal comfort using design temperatures,

relative humidity, and clothing and activity factors, while the California Energy Code comfort

model only uses design temperatures and relative humidities. Using both methods, the design

temperatures range from 68°F to 72°F for winter months and 71°F to 75°F for summer months.

Relative humidity of any given space should be controlled around 40-60%. The specifics for the

other design variables are discussed further in section 4.5.

4.5 Heating and Cooling Load Calculations

The outside weather conditions greatly affect indoor air conditions due to heat transfer

through the materials of the outside walls, or façade of the building. Different types of materials

offer different insulation factors, or R-values. The higher the R-value, the less heat is transferred

through the wall. Typically, systems that are used to condition spaces within buildings are designed

to counteract the heat transferred between the outside and inside air. In order to calculate the heat

that is transferred through the façade, it was necessary to first determine the indoor and outdoor

design temperatures for the building location. It would be incredibly difficult and time consuming

to calculate the outside temperature that the system would need to counteract for every day of

every year throughout the building’s lifespan. Instead, for the system design load calculations, the

average hottest summer and coldest winter temperatures for San Francisco were used. The heating

and cooling design load calculations were based on the calculations outlined in the ASHRAE

Fundamentals Handbook.24

ASHRAE, 2013).

 P a g e | 34

4.5.1 Heating Design Loads

The factors, other than temperature, that affect the heating load calculations for the building

include the surface area of the façade and the types of materials that make up the façade.

Additionally, the indoor comfort design temperatures change depending on what the space is

intended to be used for. Since the occupancy types change from floor to floor, the heating loads

for the building were calculated per floor using the equation Q=U•A•ΔT, where U is the wall

insulation factor, A is the wall surface area, and ΔT is the change in temperature from inside to

outside. The spreadsheet of the load calculations per floor is located in Appendix B.3.3 to

determine the total necessary heating capacity. The totals per occupancy are tabulated in Table 8.

4.5.2 Cooling Design Loads

Since the cooling loads need to counteract the summer heat, the design calculations

additionally considered everything in the building that gives off heat, including people, appliances,

and lighting. The sun also greatly impacts the temperature in a space. To account for the amount

of sun entering the skyscraper, the wall orientation was factored into the cooling load calculations.

Since portions of the building shade themselves due to the curvature of the façade, the shaded
 P a g e | 35

regions were treated as “awning covered” in their orientation factors, which are called CLTDs.

Each of these factors have their own load equation:

Façade Walls: Q=U•A•CLTD

People: Q= n•(QS+QL)

Appliances: Q= n•(QS+QL)

Lighting: Q= 3.414•Time in Operation•Watts/ Bulb

Based on these equations, the cooling load was calculated per occupancy listed in

Table 9. The detailed calculations are located in Appendix B.3.4.

4.6 System Selection

In order to select the select the most efficient and appropriate heating and cooling systems

for the building, potential systems were separated into two types: passive and active. Active

systems refer to heating and cooling systems that use mechanical means to condition the space,

while passive systems do not.25

no. 5 (1997):.
 P a g e | 36

4.6.1 Passive Systems

The passive systems incorporated into the design reduce or produce energy for Resurgence

Tower to minimize its carbon footprint. Some systems that were a part of the building design

include tinted glass, geothermal heat pumps, and solar and wind power. The green power sources

are discussed further in Section 4.7. The tinted glass of the façade helps to minimize the amount

of harmful radiation rays of sunlight from entering the space. The tint of the glass also reduces the

amount of required cooling load in the building.

4.6.2 Active Systems

The most commonly used active systems used in skyscrapers are variable refrigerant flow,

vertical high-rise fan coil, water source heat pump, and radiant floors and ceilings. Since there are

pros and cons to each of these systems, a decision matrix was developed as shown in Table 10 to

decide on the appropriate system for the building. Each system was evaluated in three categories:

occupant comfort, building integration, and energy reduction. The evaluation scale was from 1

being the lowest to 5 being the highest. This scale was a relative comparison amongst the systems.

4.7.1 Sustainable Design Strategy

Modern buildings have a responsibility to operate in a clean, efficient way. Resurgence

Tower is no exception. With many natural resources in California to take advantage of, it was

obvious that they should be harnessed to create a smaller carbon footprint. It is no easy task to

balance the demands of housing and infrastructure with the preservation of Earth’s resources.

However, there are ways to mitigate resource depletion and reduce the impact of the built

environment on the planet. In order to be an innovative trendsetter in the green building

community, Resurgence Tower utilizes newly developed technology to creatively convert natural

resources into energy. These elements will reduce dependency on finite resources.

4.7.2 Sustainable Systems Selection

The systems were selected by identifying what natural resources that are available in the

local San Francisco area, and then comparing these findings with what could be feasibly

incorporated within and on the structure. Some factors that had to be accounted for were the heights

of the surrounding buildings, the weight of equipment that would be added to the frame, and the

comfort of residents and neighbors. The sustainable systems of other skyscrapers were analyzed

and then synthesized to determine whether their shortcomings could be improved or their successes

replicated.

4.7.2.1 Wind Power Utilization

Wind energy is currently the fastest growing energy source in the world, and it is likely

that its prevalence will continue to increase. 32 Wind power was an immediate draw due to the

structure’s location less than a half mile from the waterfront. The buildings in the immediate

vicinity are roughly the same height or shorter than Resurgence Tower, which will permit wind

flow from the bay to reach the turbine of the topmost gap. In 2017, Mayor Ed Lee proposed

generating 50% of 2020’s energy by renewable sources, which implies that local government

32

Publishing Company, 2018). Accessed 2019.
 P a g e | 39

would be supportive of the urban turbines implemented in Resurgence Tower. 33 Placing a turbine

in the topmost gap in the main building structure will comply with the small size projected to be

most efficient in the city environment.34 One of the most prominent problems with building-

mounted turbines is that they fail to produce energy. This is due in part to the variable wind

directions caused by surrounding buildings, which impede laminar flow. Many existing models

show that turbines will not move fast enough to meet the minimum cut-in speed to create useable

energy, such as the Philadelphia Eagles Stadium, Council House 2 in Melbourne, and Arizona

State University’s Global Institute for Sustainability. 35 By incorporating magnets with like poles

facing each other within the construction of the turbine, cut-in speeds or lack of wind will not lead

to low energy yields. The details for the turbine used in the Resurgence Tower are shown in

Figure 17.

4.7.2.2 Solar Power Utilization

Figure 18: Hours of Sunlight in San Francisco, by Month36

The amount of sunlight available in San Francisco as shown in Figure 18 indicates that

solar energy is another realistic means to procure naturally-produced energy. Without a large

surface area on the roof to mount traditional solar panels, it was decided that an alternative type of

panel should be incorporated somewhere else on the façade. Incorporating photovoltaic technology

within the windows was an innovative solution but posed a problem. Windows are designed to let

light pass through, while solar panels must capture light to create energy. The divergent qualities

were addressed by MIT researchers, who created a fully transparent solar cell that can be

incorporated into windows and other typically transparent surfaces. The cells absorb infrared and

ultraviolet light, while allowing visible light to pass through. Though the efficiency is low-

approximately 2%- the combined utility when placed over the entire glass surface area on the

skyscraper is projected to produce about one quarter of a building’s energy. 37 As an additional

measure, solar cells that line the perimeter of the glass pane and spacers will be utilized to increase

the intake of usable solar energy. Based on the principle of a luminescent solar concentrator, which

forces light to the edges of a panel for absorption, the photovoltaic cells along the perimeter will

convert solar radiation into energy that would not have been obtained otherwise.38 The detailed

breakdown for the solar glass is shown in Figure 19.

4.7.2.3 Geothermal Energy

California has the highest concentration of geothermal electric generation capacity in the

United States, with approximately 11,745 gigawatt-hours of electricity produced from geothermal

energy in 2017. The greatest concentration of these power plants is located in Lake County north

of San Francisco.40 Additionally, almost all of California’s counties have potential for low

temperature and direct geothermal energy use, making the area in which Resurgence Tower is

located an ideal candidate for geothermal energy production. 41 The decision to incorporate

geothermal technology within the building’s design was also based on practicality. The

construction of the mat and pile foundation system requires drilling into the ground, so the added

purpose of installing a geothermal well increased the utility of the foundation system. Geothermal

energy sources are reliable, require little maintenance, and have a high efficiency, so Resurgence

Tower will be able to benefit in the long term. Figure 20 shows how the geothermal piping will be

4.7.3 The Glass Bubbles

The design of Resurgence Tower features three large, glass bubbles. Within these bubbles

are enclosed a park, a beach, and an urban farm. In densely populated areas, open space is difficult

to create and maintain. This skyscraper resolves the concern by providing residents with access to

an ample amount of recreational area and green space. Parks are vital to the well-being of a city;

they increase property values, contribute to healthier lifestyles, reduce crime, and mitigate

pollution. Low-income areas are characteristically marked by a lack of public open space. 42 Part

of the mission of Resurgence Tower, as an aid to the homeless, displaced, and low-income, is to

42

 P a g e | 43

provide a safe place to rebuild oneself, which can be addressed by the park and beach. With farms

being atypical to urban landscapes and gardens prohibited by lack of available space, including a

farm in the design of the Tower was also vital to residents’ health. In 2014, San Francisco passed

a regulation to entice landowners to turn unused space into agricultural zones. The Urban

Agriculture Incentive Zones Act, which promises tax reductions for complying citizens, will

provide an environment in which Resurgence Tower will flourish. 43

4.8 Energy analysis

A building energy analysis was completed in order to illustrate how the building’s energy

usage is affected by both the types of mechanical and electrical systems incorporated and the

sustainability measures implemented. The baseline energy usage of the Resurgence Tower is

broken down in Figure 21. The baseline building has an energy usage intensity, EUI, of 53.08

btu/ft2. The maximum EUI for the building should be about 147.3 kBtu/ft 2 if one were to take a

weighted average of the different occupancy types according to the values provided by

EnergyStar44. Resurgence tower is already significantly lower than EnergyStar’s EUI.

5. Emergency Systems & Considerations

5.1 Introduction
Fire Protection systems play an important role when building any structure and are

mandated by the IBC and the NFPA. For a building to be built safely and legally, it must have fire

safety systems. Fire protection considerations help buildings meet minimum safety requirements

for occupants. Egress, materials and fire ratings, and suppression systems are all a major part of

making sure the building is suitable for occupancy. Fire protection systems also warn occupants

with adequate time to exit the building in the event of an emergency. Additionally, the fire

protection systems promote the safety of first responders as they try to fight the fire. This section

of the paper outlines the considerations used to determine egress, to choose building materials, and

to select the suppression system.

5.2 Egress
The first major consideration when designing the layout of the building was the egress

pattern. Every type, size, and construction have different egress codes that must be met to be

considered safe. Many factors including occupancies, number of people, and construction types

can affect the egress of a building. Therefore, it is important to determine egress in the early stages

of a project.
 P a g e | 46

5.2.1 Egress Calculations

Calculations outlined in the IBC and NFPA 101 were used to determine the correct number

of exits on each floor. IBC Table 1006.3.245 and NFPA 101 section 7.4.1.246 define the number of

exits needed for 1-500 occupants, 500-1000 occupants, and 1000+ occupants. It was necessary to

use the occupancy classification, floor area, and occupant load factors to determine where each

floor of Resurgence Tower fell within the specified ranges. The occupancy classification and

occupant load factor (IBC Table 1004.5) of each floor can be seen in Table 11.

Table 11: Occupant Load Factors per the IBC47

Occupancy Occupant Load Factor

Mercantile 60 gross

Vocational 50 net

Office Space 150 gross

Residential 200 gross

With these values, the minimum number of exits needed per floor can be found by dividing

the square footage of the floor by the Occupant Load Factor. This yields the number of occupants

allowed per floor. It was found that floors one through six will have three exits and floors seven

through 40 will have two. The third exit on the first six floors will be achieved by escalators that

would remain immobile during an emergency.

5.2.2 Egress Graphics and Explanations

The following graphic outlines the possible paths of egress in the proposed design. The red

lines represent the paths of travel. As explained in Section 5.2.1, floors seven through 40 will have

two egress paths consisting of the two stairways in the cores. The mall floors each need an

additional path, which will be provided by the immobile escalators.

Figure 23: Building Egress Paths

5.3 Materials and Fire Ratings

Type 1A was identified for construction because it permits an unlimited floor area and

building height. The different, minimum required fire resistance ratings of every building element

were subsequently determined. The IBC provides a required fire rating per element, from which

the UL Directory was consulted to choose the desired element assembly.

 P a g e | 48

Selections of various elements in Resurgence Tower were based on the fire ratings

requirement in the IBC and the UL Directory. The selections located in Table 12 are within Type

1A construction and will provide proper protection, while also being the most cost efficient.

Building elements and the UL Design materials used are also shown.

5.4 Suppression System

For high-rise buildings extra safety measures are required because the buildings are so

large. In order to make sure that our building has the freedom to be constructed as it is designed

an automatic sprinkler is suggested. Two size 13 pumps will be used to supply water to the

sprinkler system. One will sit on the ground floor and the other will be on floor 21. A wet pipe

system will allow for many increases in egress distances, and egress capacities. The sprinkler

system was spaced on a 12 foot by 10 foot spacing grid. This is a standard 120 square-foot coverage

allowance per NFPA 13 Section 10.2.4.2.1 (a&b)49. The sprinkler system will use Tyco Series TY-

L-5.6K and Tyco Series TY-L-8.0K upright and pendent sprinkler heads. The data sheets for this

sprinkler series can be found in Appendix C.4.

In addition to the automatic sprinkler our building will have an alarm system that will be

used as notification of an emergency event. The NFPA 101 states that the automatic sprinklers

waterflow alarm system must be in accordance with section 9.7.2.2.1 of the NFPA 101 50

(Appendix D). This section of the NFPA 101 states that the alarm notification shall be transmitted

to an approved, proprietary alarm-receiving facility, a remote station, a central station, or the fire

department. This is done using monitor modules located in the fire protection room. The general

idea of this is to ensure that when the sprinklers are going off in the building the occupants

understand that there is an emergency event happening. The issue with all sprinklers is that,

because they are designed to only go off in the area needed, the people in other areas of the building

would not know what was going on without an alarm system. The alarm system would include

horn/strobes, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and pull stations that are interconnected

through a panel. The system was designed using FCI devices. The data sheets for the devices can

be found in Appendix C.4. NFPA 72 51 is the code book that was referenced for the fire alarm

system of the high-rise. In the table the total number of devices for the building is detailed.

5.5 Emergency Electrical Systems

Emergency systems are required by the NEC and need to provide power within 10 seconds

of an outage to all life safety systems including egress lighting, smoke and fire alarm systems. All

systems that protect the lives of occupants must be on an emergency power system. The emergency

egress lighting includes all lighting in stairwells, and 10% of the lights on each floor so that there

is an average light level of 1 foot-candle per foot at the floor level. This is the minimum amount

of light necessary to see and navigate through the path of egress in the event of an emergency. The

egress lighting and alarm systems in Resurgence Tower are connected to a UPS so that there is

continuity in the protection of the occupants.

6. Conclusion
The shape of Resurgence Tower almost guarantees that the building will become an icon -

with undulations in the façade and bulbous glass punctuations that are not found anywhere else in

San Francisco. The skyscraper attempts to anticipate the future of building technology and design.

The structural system of Resurgence Tower uses a steel-composite frame to resist the vertical loads

and reinforced concrete cores that handle lateral loads and majority of the vertical loads. This

structural system is able to withstand the loads: dead, live, wind, and seismic, acting on the

buildings and provides those who may be displaced with a safe place to reside. The building

mechanical systems implemented in the design process optimize energy efficiency while

maintaining maximum occupant comfort.

The sustainable options incorporated in the Tower reduce the overall building EUI by 25%

from the baseline EUI of 53.08 BTU/ft2. Resurgence Tower is intended to be a progressive adopter

of sustainable technology. By incorporating building-integrated wind turbines, photovoltaic solar

cell windows, and geothermal energy, the carbon footprint of the building is significantly reduced.

This aligns with the green initiatives taken by the San Francisco city government and sets a trend

for newer buildings to follow. Smaller energy bills will allow more money to be reinvested in the

functions of the skyscraper.

Additionally, the building is fully sprinklered and is equipped with a code compliant fire

alarm system. With adequate egress methods the proposed building is safe from many emergency

situations. Resurgence Tower offers many long-term benefits to San Francisco. By providing the

displaced shelter and vocational training, the homeless problem of the city will be alleviated in a

way that also leads to a more productive workforce. Stimulating the economy and educating the
 P a g e | 52

population are factors that make a location desirable to live in. 52 Having a distinguishable landmark

on the skyline is a defining trait of most cities, and the shape of Resurgence Tower can certainly

be the recognizable feature of San Francisco.

Future research could be conducted into developing more sustainable building materials

and systems to further reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. Other research areas

include testing green energy production methods and their efficiencies when incorporated into

building designs. Overall, progress in the sustainability of building systems and materials needs to

continue until net-zero carbon emissions can be reached for all buildings.
