Please describe the project specifications

The Yili National Dairy Innovation Center Project is located in the Yili Modern Smart Health Valley in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, adjacent to the Yili headquarters and Central Park, in the western part of the industrial zone. This is a diversified mixed-use project consisting of laboratories, offices, multifunctional halls, pilot labs, and exhibition spaces.The building, with its scientific flow lines and modern aesthetic, features a square skylight semi-floating at the center of its sloping roof, constructed using a triple-layered, double-cavity ETFE cushion structure. The distinctive silhouette, combined with the grid-patterned ETFE cushion units, mimics a melting sugar cube, breaking the rigid geometry of the building while enhancing indoor natural lighting.
This project include air supply system, fire fused system, snow-melting system, and 274 of ETFE cushions.Given the stringent fire safety requirements, the project integrated specially designed exhaust smoke vents into the ETFE structure. The fire fused system is interconnected with the fire protection system, ensuring that in the event of a fire, the ETFE cushion unit automatically melt and open, thereby increasing the effective smoke exhaust area and minimizing fire-related damage.
To meet the project’s unique thermal performance requirements, manufactured applied Radiative Cooling coating technology to ETFE film for the first time, providing tailored engineering solutions. This innovation allows the ETFE structure to maintain excellent light transmittance and a cool-blue appearance, while also delivering superior thermal insulation performance.
