Abstract

In this paper, we describe the formatting guidelines for ACM SIG Proceedings. With the development of social economy, smart cities, especially green energy-saving buildings, are foremost trend in the future. The location of green buildings has a very important impact on the design and plan of future smart cities. The influence of the natural environment, especially that of the topography and landform on the location of architectural design is very significant. Google Earth (GE) platform can provide sufficient remote sensing data, which greatly interpret and promote surface information. However, just few people have done related research. This article takes Beijing as an example and uses Google Earth platform and the remote sensing data to obtain the 3D digital elevation model (DEM) data; and then Google earth’s geomorphology data are used to analyze the landform features. Finally, by analyzing their characteristics and distribution features, five energy-saving building locations were selected in Beijing. It can be concluded that GE, is an effective and potential platform for providing remote sensing data, and analyzing the DEM and landform. The rational analysis of the building addresses in this paper could help the buildings to avoid potential geological disasters and make full use of natural resources. Moreover, this research on energyefficient building addresses make a suggestion for future smart city planning.

Highlights

With the rapid economic development in recent years, people are increasingly concerned that the environment should not be the victim of economic development
Beijing is located at 115.7-117.4°east longitude, 39.4-41.6°north latitude, and the center is located at 39°54 ′20 ′′north latitude, 116°25′29′′east longitude, with a total area of 16410.54 square kilometers
People have changed the original geomorphology through a large number of engineering and technical activities to develop the city and established a new urban landform system

Summary

Introduction

With the rapid economic development in recent years, people are increasingly concerned that the environment should not be the victim of economic development. The reasonable choice of building addresses is a prerequisite for the long-term development of energy-saving buildings. Song and Zhang proposed the impact of landscape and climate factors on architectural design, and concluded that we should increase our understanding of the affinity of the ecological environment in modern architecture [2]. Butera et al [1] once proposed that the architectural design should consider the coordination between the building and the surrounding environment. They concluded that reasonable and realistic building sites are important for peoples life. The architecture affects people's life, and has significant influence on the economic development and the citys construction [2];[3]
