System architecture and design of a power plant. Introduction: A power plant is a means for converting the potential energy (wind‚ solar or chemical) into electrical energy. In its simplest form it consists of steam generation equipment (boiler or nuclear reactor) and a turbine driving an electrical generator. The energy sources available in the world include coal‚ oil‚ gas‚ nuclear‚ hydroelectric‚ wind‚ solar‚ refuse-based and biomass. We can broadly categorize power plants into the following

Green Architecture Green architecture is an approach to building which has become more popular in the last 25 to 30 years. Also known as sustainable design‚ green architecture is a method of design that minimizes the impact of building on the environment. Once thought of as unconventional and nonstandard‚ both regulatory agencies and the public alike are quickly accepting green architecture as a socially responsible and logical means of construction. The beginnings of today ’s green revolution

For example‚ most historical accounts of architecture by authors such as Pevsner1 or Frampton2 seemingly ignore the influence of the rise of psychology

Green architecture‚ or green design‚ is an approach to building that minimizes harmful effects on human health and the environment. The "green" architect or designer attempts to safeguard air‚ water‚ and earth by choosing eco-friendly building materials and construction practices. Green architecture may have many of these characteristics: • Ventilation systems designed for efficient heating and cooling • Energy efficient lighting and appliances • Water saving plumbing fixtures • Efficient
