    Apple Park is the corporate headquarters of Apple Inc. located in Cupertino, California. [1] It opened in April 2017 and occupies 175 acres, accommodating over 12,000 employees. [2] The campus features a circular main building designed by Norman Foster that is over 2,800,000 square feet and surrounded by 9,000 drought-resistant trees. [3] The building gets its power from 100% renewable energy including a 17 megawatt solar panel installation and requires no heating or cooling for most of the year due to its natural ventilation system of 4,300 precast concrete slabs that circulate air through the offices.

    INTRODUCTION LOCATION

    Apple Park is the corporate headquarters of Apple


    Inc., located at 1 Apple Park Way in Cupertino,
    California, United States. It was opened to
    employees in April 2017, while construction was
    still underway. Its research and development
    facilities are occupied by more than 2,000 people.
    It superseded the original headquarters at 1
    Infinite Loop, which opened in 1993.[7]

    Circumference 1 mile (1.6 km)

    THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE MEASURES BEING IMPLEMENTED:

    ❖ The Spaceship is the world’s largest naturally ventilated building and won’t
    require heating or AC for nine months of the year.

    ❖ It contains about 4,300 hollow concrete slabs which helps the building stay cool
    (according to Popular Science).

    ❖ In addition, Apple is planting 9,000 drought-


    resistant trees throughout the campus, while
    the site enclosed by the building will form a 30-
    acre landscaped park complete with
    fruit trees and winding pathways.

    ❖ 9,000 trees will be planted around the campus,


    with fruits and vegetables from some of trees
    and plants being served in the employee
    cafeteria.
    ❖ The landscaping, with the help a leading
    arborist from Stanford University, will
    restore some of the indigenous plant life.

    ❖ 1,000 bikes will be kept on the site and


    available to staff to get around the
    campus.

    ❖ Ride sharing will be encouraged as there


    are thousands fewer (by design) parking
    spots than the 12,000 employees that will
    work their daily.

    ❖ Recycled water will be used, with 13,300


    ft. of pipeline to share the supply with the
    City of Cupertino.
    SOLAR PANELS
    ❖ The building is intended to be one of the
    most energy efficient in the world.

    ❖ Apple’s new headquarters in Cupertino is


    powered by 100 percent renewable energy, in
    part from a 17-megawatt onsite rooftop solar
    installation.

    ❖ The site is to be entirely powered from renewable


    energy, with solar panels installed on the roof capable of
    generating 17 megawatts of power.

    ❖ Rather than using air conditioning, 4,300


    hollow concrete slabs act as the floors, ceilings and HVAC
    system, funneling cool and warm air through the offices,
    in effect making it a ‘breathing’ building.
    GLASS PANELS AND CANOPY…

    ❖ Panels of curved safety glass measuring 45 ft-


    tall envelope the building, and are the largest curved
    glass panels in the world.

    ❖ Through a variety of sensors, the building can maintain a


    temperature of 68 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit, all by using
    an intake and release of natural air.

    ❖ natural ventilation that uses flaps and sensors to circulate Adjustable louvers on the exterior walls will control
    air and measure where from and how much the wind is air flow through the building.

    HOLLOW CONCRETE SLAB [PRECASTED]

    ❖ Thermal and Sound Insulation: Hollow core slabs possess


    low heat and sound transmission properties and hence
    saves extra insulation effort and cost.

    ❖ Resistance: Hollow Slabs are fire resistance structural


    elements.
