|
What are the six principles of environmental protection |
Sustainability - practice is must be sustainable. This ensures that the use of resources and its effect on the environment today will not impair their use by future generations Precaution - if you uncertain about the risk of environmental harm, always err on the side of caution and due diligence Prevention- take preventative measures to anticipate and avoid environmental damage Polluter pays -The entity that causes the pollution should bear the costs of the damage and remediation Cumulative impact - each subsequent environmental harm compounds on the last, causing the problem to worsen over time and sometimes exponentially Integration and participation- protective measures are in line with other policy areas and applicable to the individual level |

|
|
What is the stack effect |
It's a cycle of heat transfer that particularly affects tall or multi-story buildings. In the winter the warm indoor air being more buoyant than cool air rises to the top of the building The warm air finds points of exit and escapes the building The upward movement creates a zone of negative pressure in the lower levels of the building Cold air from outside moves into the lower levels to create equilibrium The taller the building the greater the negative pressure created and the more severe the stack effect. Lower level occupants might struggle to maintain heat and colder weather and heating costs become inefficient |
|
|
Reverse stack effect |
During warm weather the stack effect occurs in reverse Air conditioning transfers cool air to the interior which sinks to the lower levels of the building The cooler air escapes from Windows doors and other exit points Top floor become an area of negative pressure The warmer exterior air moves inside to replace the sinking cool air |
