    One Central Park:

    One Central Park was developed as a response to growing demand for residential
    housing in downtown Sydney. Its developers and designers used the opportunity to
    make a powerful and visible green statement with a tall building that is
    environmentally responsive on multiple levels. With a planted veil that purifies the
    air, offers shade, and speaks of a naturally linked urban life, as well as a
    technologically forceful system that directs the sun's rays where they are most
    needed.

    Mechanism:
    OCP (One Central Park) reduces its cooling energy load with a five-kilometer-long
    system of linear slab-edge planters, As shown in figure 1, that function like
    permanent shading shelves and reduce thermal impact in the apartments by about
    20%. The plants are grown hydroponically in a substrate for mechanical root
    adhesion and are irrigated with water from the on-site storm water collection tanks
    and the central recycling plant. OCP's passive solar power system is contained 42
    sun-tracking heliostats, each of which targets 42 of the 320 individual fixed mirrors
    in the Fresnel reflector cantilevered off the taller tower, which are associated to
    specific target zones on the ground: the park, the swimming pool, and the glass
    roof of the atrium. The system redirects up to 200 square meters of direct sunlight,
    along with approximately 40 to 60% of its corresponding power, during Sydney's
    2,600 annual sunshine hours.

    Figure 1 represented the design of the One Central Park


    points of strength:
    1. One Central Park showcases innovative design features such as green walls
    and rooftop gardens, these features act like permanent shade covers, helping
    to keep the building cooler by blocking out some of the sun's heat.

    2. The integration of solar panels allows for on-site renewable energy


    generation, supporting sustainability goals and reducing dependence on
    fossil fuels.

    3. By creating public spaces and promoting urban life, One Central Park fosters
    a sense of community and contributes to an inclusive atmosphere.

    points of weaknesses:
    1. Its inability to completely mitigate its environmental impact during the
    construction phase, as even with sustainable practices, construction
    processes involve resource consumption and emissions to local ecosystems.

    2. High initial costs associated with advanced green technologies may make it
    difficult to replication of similar projects, despite long-term environmental
    and economic benefits.

    3. It's not entirely dependent on green energy, as besides solar panels, it also
    utilizes gas-powered generators.
