To sort out the worldwide local weather disaster and obtain China’s “dual-carbon” objectives, CATL has shifted its focus from the outstanding achievements within the area of recent vitality batteries to creating inexperienced, clever, and livable city environments. The Möbius strip, a logo of perpetual cycles, impressed the teahouse’s design. In contrast to passive energy-saving methods, this mission actively empowers the constructing with superior new vitality and clever interconnectivity applied sciences.

Your complete construction makes use of BIPV (Constructing Built-in Photovoltaics), enabling full-cycle inexperienced energy provide inside restricted house. The precision of photovoltaic panel alignment with the roof’s curves ensures visible concord. With supplies like ultra-clear glass and UHPC (Extremely-Excessive-Efficiency Concrete), the design achieves transparency and vitality effectivity.
Plan
In the meantime, the clever charging station on the foot of the mountain offers bi-directional car-to-grid performance, enabling automobiles to discharge energy again to the teahouse. This maximizes vitality use effectivity. With an annual energy output of roughly 55,000 kWh, the teahouse reduces CO₂ emissions by about 54.8 tons, equal to planting 3,000 bushes yearly.
