is reflected back to space directly, but the rest that enters the planets is either absorbed by the atmosphere and earth surface or reflected back to space. However some of the energy is trapped by the atmosphere to warm the earth’s surface in a natural way. This phenomenon is called the ‘The Greenhouse Effect’ which is caused by certain gases in the atmosphere known as ‘Greenhouse Gases’, such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Methane (CH4). These gases reflect energy back to earth not allowing its…

great company for every worker they had in the coal industry and created about 3 and a half more jobs elsewhere. The company helped out a lot in the community too, Massey donated to scholarship programs, worked with local schools, helped out when natural disasters…

It is common knowledge that shelter has been necessity that has constantly been in use. With new discoveries in the fields of science and technology, traditional architecture can be improved so that it benefits not just the residence, but the environment as well. The main concept of architecture is that it is the study of the art and design of structures. As the study of architecture progressed, the practice was redesigned towards accommodating the needs and wants of people. The new discoveries…

receives natural ventilation. Fresh air is drawn west from the Hudson river into the building or surrounding area creating a cooling effect improving the occupants comfort level. The two dorms placed on the west side of the Roy and Diana building directs wind inward towards the building channeling high wind pressure. The channeled wind flows to the outdoor stairs on the west façade. The architect designed a porch on the west façade that creates a microclimate confinable shaded area with natural…

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 RESEARCH BACKGROUND The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the US Consumer Product (1995) (as cited in Preethi, 2005) sated that people spend approximately 90 percents of their time being indoors. Therefore, for many, due to more exposure of indoor air pollution than outdoor air pollution the risk to health may be greater. The building occupants may be exposed to the variety of contaminants whether in the form of gases and particles derived from office…

Sustainability presumes that resources are finite, and should be used conservatively and wisely with a view to long-term priorities and consequences of the ways in which resources are used. Acharacle Primary School delivers a clear message of ‘Ecominialism’, which means the use of careful design to achieve sustainable construction, without spending extra cost, energy and maintenance (Liddell, H., 2008). Using Brettstapel construction, which is a glueless form of massive timber construction that…

2. Content 2.1 Different types of Passive house Construction The images below show some of the various different wall constructions that are often used to build a Passive house. Figure 2.1: different types of wall construction used to build passive houses which should give the desired U-value of 0.15W/m2K or less Some of these options would be more structurally sound compared to others. Some of the above options may be used that can often make a passive build cheaper than a conventional…

Building better ventilation systems is where energy efficiency is conserved, in the article increasing efficiency of building systems and technologies, “In some climates and at certain times of the year, natural ventilation can be used to introduce fresh air using natural circulation or fans. Good building design, carefully chosen orientation, windows that open, and ridge vents are some of the…

Data: they use a lot of harmful chemicals in producing flowers and producing tons of CO2 in both growing and transport cut flowers around. Warrant: we should value our life and the environment we live in Claim: we should not produce and buy cut flowers backing of warrant: Back of warrant: a lot of people get sick of inhaling harmful chemicals. High amount of CO2 can contribute to the global warming Rebuttal: there are more things that are harmful and produce more CO2 than planting and…
