A concreted water tank must be constructed in the basement of any building, it is important to have adequate depth in order to keep the water temperature around 15 degrees to 20 degrees. This stored water will be transferred via pump to various additional coil which must be kept in FCU/AHU, which will reduce the temperature of return air thereby reducing the overall chilled water flow.
Same water can be return to the water tank which can again be cooled down to 15-20- degree temperature. The cycle will continue. The water can be replaced at regular interval.

Design Concept
B
DESCRIPTION
The below stated design will change the entire concept of HVAC system which is typically built in any building. It will also eradicate a lot of coordination issues as cooling will be provided via external protection.
Under any typical building, I have either chilled water system or dx system, one of them takes means of a pipe to deliver the chilled water to the units while the other one finds similar means via a copper pipe. D e scrp i t i o n co n d t ...
Figure imgf000008_0001
In this design, chillers along with its pipes and all relevant accessories,
Dx system etc. will have a function to perform, just ducting & piping job will be lesser.
Here I am taking G+2 building as an example, however below stated solution is applicable for any type of building/ for any amount of floor, just its designing will vary since the area varies, further design development can be done during detail design stage.
Figure imgf000009_0001
Chillers/outdoor unit if Dx system will be installed on the roof of a floor which will be delivering chilled water/ refrigerant to the unit, resulting in taking the essence from the chilled water/ refrigerant and will blow the cold air via ducting.
In typical building those ducting are seen above the ceiling on respective floor but in this design, I am removing this concept. I will have Package unit, or any other suitable unit located on the roof which will blow the cold air inside the wall/slab envelope(there will be double layer of wall/slab),
Figure imgf000010_0001
Here the external wall/internal slabs will be used as a masonry duct which will be further insulated to prevent condensation from the wall, hence due to the cooled air running through the veins of wall, hot air impregnating the wall will become colder, henceforth the major heat development inside the wall will be lessened or it will be minor.
Figure imgf000011_0001
Also there will be openings provided on each sides of the wall and on each floor and rooms, which will render the cold air drifting inside the rooms, which will cool the respective rooms.
Refer below diagram depicting above verses.

Cooling with one time investment concept.
Design Concept-C
BREIF DESCRIPTION
The following pages has been penned down to cool die entire city by offering an economical solution to the dwellers, as it becomes onerous for low income people to afford the costliest cooling system, this concept will also eradicate many conventional cooling products thereby diminishing the burden on ecosystem.
The concept is similar to district cooling but without any cooling tower, now question ensues how cooling is possible without cooling tower, a cooling tower produces chilled water that runs through a coil and when air is blown through the fans it touches die coil and it gets colder, In this design I am not procreating any chilled water, I will induced it naturally.
Those chilled water can also be utilized for domestic usage, when chilled water will be supplied inside the building, those water need to be returned somewhere and then this returned water can be taken up for domestic purpose. The temperature of water will be reduced when it will return from the cooling system.

Design-contd . .
4. A Seamless black steel pipe will be connected to the tank, which will carry chilled water from mountain area or the nearest river having temperature of water 5 degree to various cities and then to the dwellers. Number and size of pipe shall be ascertained during detail design stage.
5. In order to maintain the chilled water temperature throughout, entire black steel pipe must be insulated with fiberglass or any other acceptable insulation, thickness and other characteristic of insulation shall be ascertained during detail design stage.
Figure imgf000020_0001
6. Efforts will be planked to flow the chilled water via gravity, however as and where required mechanical forces will be introduced in between the pipes via pump, the sizes , qty’s & location of the pump shall be ascertained during the detail design stage.
7. The chilled water pipe shall be made to run inside the river, this will eradicate the earth excavations work, temperature inside river will be comparatively lesser than the ambient temperature.
Figure imgf000021_0001
Area not near the river, can be proceeded with excavation work, to run the chilled water pipe in mande of earth. However in order to protect the insulation inside river, it should be encased/ jacketed with HDPE/UPVC pipe. The supporting of the pipes inside the river and relevant calculations like thermal expansion/ contraction etc, can be ascertained during detail design stage.

Country cooling
Design Concept-D
DESCRIPTION
The below stated design concept requires a huge one-time investment but this concept will make the country a weather friendly nation.
► It will eradicate all building cooling system, as no more cooling inside the buildings will be required.
Under any typical building, cooling is provided via various means like chilled water or Dx system, this is done to remove the heat gain majorly occurring due to the sun’s heated rays. DESCRIPTION
Here I will venture efforts to eradicate the heat rays emitted by the sun.
The country will be encased by thick glasses ( detail engineering analysis will be done to assimilate the glass thickness) at the borders or through the area where the country's authority decides to provide the favorable temperature. DESCRIPTION
Near the boundaries of the glasses, chilled water as per design-C will be introduced in the units which will further introduce the cold air inside the country premises.
Any other cooling method can also be implemented like cooling tower etc.
The quantum of cooling required, Air recycling, return air, how to circulate the cold air and other requirements will be ascertained during detail design stage. Automatic walking concept.
Design Concept-F
DESCRIPTION
In below stated design, I am not creating Moving walkways that is already created, here I will use it to create easiness in walking.
We have car, cycle, metro, buses to ease our mode of transportation but there are certain areas where these cannot reach, or we don’t use it for various reasons.
So here I will lay the moving walkways in the area where people can use it as mode of transportations to cover shorter distances, for example if I have a shopping mall situated 1 km from our house, so instead of walking I can lay the moving walkways and use it as mode of our transportations.
Balance details can be given in detail engineering stage. Transportation
Design Concept-G
DESCRIPTION
In below stated design, I am not creating already created transportation system, the design concept will say about the transportation of anything at high level of ground such that the traffic congestion can be avoided. It will also use the earth gravitational and moment of inertia to transport thereby diminishing the use of electrical power.
There will be vertical pole at two ends, it will be connected with a hanging structure at high level, the exact height will be ascertained during detail design stage. A car, its dimension will be decided during detail design will be attached with the hanger, the arrangement will be similar to zip line. DESCRIPTION
A slope will be created downwards when the car starts its journey and then gradually it will be on upwards direction in order to reduced the velocity of the car, the amount of slope will be ascertained during detail engineering stage.
Car will have safety device such that if its falls due to any reason it will come down like a parachute also it will have alarm to warn others while it comes down.
