Introduction

In the design of energy efficient house, three key factors need to be considered. First is the materials and construction. The chosen materials should be durable, renewable and have high insulation levels. Second, the resource value unto which the construction is done is important. Finally, putting energy use at the centre of the design process is the key factor that surpasses all other factors.
Having realized that embedded systems in the distribution network could lead to great energy savings, especially in the domestic situations, it is feasible to come up with energy efficient house that can utilize renewable ...

at Rex Hill Winery

Management of Rex Hill Winery has been highly concerned about climate change. They have heard about the Solar Sprint campaign to go solar now before the federal tax credit expires at the end of 2016. They also knew about the other incentives available on installation of solar electrical systems. Considering environmental benefits, they desired to install a PV solar panel system at their property. However, they wished to take a final decision on the project based on a feasibility study. As Rex Hill’s consultant, I have been entrusted the job of preparation of a ...

Introduction

Efficient energy utilization is an important aspect of human life. The principle of conservation of energy states that energy can never be created nor destroyed. Thus, it is essential to utilize the energy available for us effectively and efficiently. Energy can be transformed from one form to another by use of appropriate transducers. When designing a house, it is essential to do it with the greatest regard to efficient energy use as well as safety to the environment. House designers should always come up with designs that promote efficient energy use. For instance, utilization of renewable energy should be maximized. ...

1.0 Introduction
Water is an important component of life and without it life on earth will be non-existent. About ¾ of this planet is made up of water and it is a surprise, therefore, to find out that more than a billion people do not have access to clean water. According to the United Nations, the uneven distribution of water is endangering an increasing number of people although there is enough water in the planet to supply its entire population (2014). This situation is particularly true in areas that are classified as arid regions or regions with precipitation characterized as low, ...

Introduction

Solar heaters have been popularized in recent years for use in tertiary and residential areas. This has happened mostly in the third world countries. The reason behind this encouragement to use solar heaters is the reduction of cost and improving the performance. This has necessitated the use, and testing of solar heaters to produce hot water. The solar heater is fundamentally made up of tanks that act as solar absorbers ad storage bases for warm water. This is used in glazing to profit the green house effect and the insulating cases. The solar heaters can be made from ordinary ...

Space/ Scale/ Territory

Millennium Park is a 24.5-acre park that has several venues for performance, art, architecture, sculpture, and landscape architecture. It is located centrally in Chicago’s central business district and the lakefront. The Millennium Park emerged from a dilapidated ground-level parking space and rail yard into perhaps what may be regarded as the world’s biggest “green roof,” spanning two multi-level parking spaces with a total of over 4,000 cars and one commuter rail line. In Millennium Park, space is created in various ways. For example, there is the illusion of space created through structures and activities that allow ...

Project Information

The ongoing construction of ‘Original Dream Home’ is steady with minor hurdles along the way.

The week four schedule was to commence on the 22nd day of the first month and end on the 26th of the same month. The project is about constructing a home for client X, and it will roughly take seven weeks to complete it. The first three weeks’ schedules are complete and awaiting final touches which will be in the last ...

Thames Tunnel: Travelling under the river

Recognized as engineering virtuoso, Isambard Kingdom Brunel is also acknowledged for his audacious plans and colossal structures that are critical parts in even today’s times. Brunel amalgamated innovation and immeasurable boldness of foresight in constructing his oft contentious “trophies.” Born to French and English parents, Brunel began his internship with his father on the building of London’s Thames Tunnel. Soon after, Brunel was designated as the projects’ resident engineer; aside from being the lead engineer, Brunel was also able to gain considerable knowledge and exposure on cement and brick structures that would serve him in his future ...

Abstract
This report delves into John Fitzgerald Kennedy Airport (JFK). It provides a brief history as well as the old and new structure of the airport. As well, it gives a panoramic view of the old and the new structural features of the Airport for the future needs.

John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) Airport: An Introduction

JFK is run by the Port Authority of New York as well as New Jersey, under a charter ratified in 1947. It is amongst the leading passenger-volume airports all over the USA, as well as the busiest international air passenger entrance, managing more air ...

The rock I found was gray in color and appeared to be silky in the sun. As I checked the internet to identify the kind of rock I found, I learned that it was slate. This kind of rock is found in some garden in my neighborhood, with some used as slate gravel while others as stepping stones. Not far from my house, I saw a house with slate as its roof.
Judging by the color and texture of my rock, and the powdery grain that was left in my hands after rubbing it, I surmised that ash is ...
