Application of Green and Low-carbon Technology in the Design of Xiamenbei Railway Station
Xiamenbei Railway Station is an important hub station on the Fuzhou-Xiamen Railway.Guided by the green and low-carbon design principle,the station has integrated intelligent skylight technology to enable automatic opening and closing of skylights through innovative,modular,and intelligent design.This design not only reduces the energy consumption of the mechanical system but also enhances indoor comfort.Furthermore,the station has adopted new energy-saving light source technologies such as solar optical fiber and solar light guide to harness and introduce outdoor natural light into enclosed spaces.This strategy significantly improves indoor environmental quality and comfort while achieving energy conservation and emission reduction.Upon the merger of the old and new station buildings of Xiamenbei Railway Station,the total station length stretching 580 meters from north to south resulted in urban fragmentation and long walking distance for check-in/out passengers.Within the 70-meter interval between the new and old station buildings,a public transport center has been established,seamlessly integrating railway,metro,BRT,buses,and other modes of transport.It constitutes a dual-center transport hub at Xiamenbei Railway Station along with the north transport center and the south transport center.This approach effectively merges urban functions with station functions,facilitating convenient transfers between various urban public transport modes like the metro,bus,BRT,and railways.It ultimately enhances passengers'green and low-carbon travel experiences.
