Introduction

Structures such as large buildings can create its own unique internal environment that can significantly impact the comfort and health of its occupants. After many years of investigating and studying building infrastructures, engineers and designers have increased their understanding and knowledge on the environmental conditions that exists within the building in relation to its physical properties. For the same reason, a solid background in building physics is an integral part of a building’s design, particularly in this modern era wherein green buildings are the rising trend. Most modern buildings integrate building physics prior to construction ...

Introduction

This report has been structured and submitted to give insight regarding issues in health that are related to lighting and specifically the cost-benefit analysis that accrue due to the use of LED devices in the medical facilities. This is having in mind the fact that the research is linked to the people who serve as the medical practitioners and or engineers in the medical facilities. It applies the scholarly findings and analysis of these findings in a way that aims at coming up with clear reasons as to why the LED lighting should be considered as the best alternative ...

Chapter 1 – Introduction to Color Study

1. What is the difference between direct light and reflected light? Give examples of each. Direct light travels from the source to the destination without being interrupted while reflected light is the light produced when the direct light bounces off a material. One example of direct light is the sunlight while reflection from the mirror is an example of reflected light (Young, Freedman & Ford, pp. 1080). 2. Describe the cause of color, the means used to generate it, and the effect. Light consists of a spectrum of light wavelengths which have a representative color; thus, upon reaching the retina ...

Invented and patented by Thomas Edison in 1879, the incandescent bulb comprises of a wired filament placed inside a glass bulb (“The History”). When electricity is provided to the filament, it heats up thereby making the bulb glow and emit light (“Incandescent, LED”). The wired filament of the incandescent bulb was initially made using carbon obtained from a cotton thread that was uncoated. This filament gave the bulb a lifespan of just 14.5 hours. Later, the carbon filament was made using bamboo, which gave the bulb a longer lifespan of up to 1200 hours (“The History”). Much later, in ...

While Alessandro was more or less convinced about the benefits of replacing the earlier incandescent with a CFL, Judy and Carmela’s arguments have put him in a bind. It is true that CFLs can be highly energy efficient and save cost as well as greenhouse emissions and heating. On the other hand, the usability, electronics, disposal etc. of CFLs can be tricky and need to be handled very carefully. Judy is correct in the fact that CFLs require a lot more energy in manufacturing and that regular on and off can reduce its life, thus nullifying the cost ...

Introduction

The fiber optic systems are systems which use light as a mode of communication. The system includes fiber cables which allow for the transmission of light through them. Inside the cable are special coatings for protection and also to enable the transmission of light through total internal reflection (Hoss and Lacy). The light is then converted into electrical signals through the use of light detectors having in mind that the signal was produced by a light emitting diode. The use of optics is very wide since the use of light is much more efficient and also flexible being that ...

Introduction

Siting and Designing decisions for hotels and resorts are major decisions because they influence a considerable number of people and animals both in the current and future generations. Siting and design decisions have a major hand viability and conservation of ecosystems as well as the financial success of the specific hotel or resort. Biodiversity plays an important role in facilitating a hotel’s operational activities. Inside the hotel, the food, furniture and amenities in the spa are all elements of diversity. Outside the hotel, plants and animals (that are also elements of diversity) make a major contribution in making ...

The category that has the greatest energy use in our home is on heating. With upgrades, the category where we can realize the greatest savings is on lighting. The total potential energy savings that could be realized if we would implement the suggested energy saving measures is $197. If all the household energy use categories will be upgraded based on the suggested measures to be able to save energy, we could cost $1262 against the current cost of $ 1459.

To be able to save energy in our home, we make the necessary changes. In terms of ...

Different Types of Lighting Available in the Market:

A broad range of lighting lamps is available in the market. Following lights are commonly used in big super markets, hotels and other bigger space places: Incandescent: this type of light is also known as incandescent bulbs. The bulb provides light by heating a specific material kept inside the bulb in the form of filament with electricity. The filament is supported with wire on both sides. The incandescent bulbs are widely accepted and compatible with any temperature. Bulbs do not carry any hazardous material and simple in technology. Metal Halide Light: These lamps are known for their high ...
