aims to demonstrate the significant reductions that can be achieved in the total energy demand of the European health care building sector. These energy demand reductions will contribute to significant reductions in CO2 emissions. BIOCLIMATIC DESIGN CONCEPTS The hospitals project covers a range of strategies to save energy in buildings‚ with a focus on hospital buildings. This brochure contains general information‚ guidelines and strategies for Bioclimatic Design of HOSPITALS. The brochure aims

Loft insulation is needed because in uninsulated homes the hot air particles rise through the roof causing heat loss ‚ on average 25 percent of the heat is lost through the roof due to uninsulated lofts. Insulating lofts is very effective as it reduces heating bills and helps towards energy costs.. In a house where there is no loft insulation installed it would cost £250 and would save £145 per year ‚ also save 730kg of co2 per year. Although if the loft is insulated but needs to be topped up to

both are really poor conductors. Bubble wrap‚ foaming and cotton wool can be used as an insulator because it will trap heat in air pockets and air is a poor conductor of heat‚ hence it will be a good insulator. I shall not use any black objects for insulation because black will radiate the heat greatly. I have found information from the internet‚ that the polystyrene will be the best in insulator. I will have to bung up the end of the test tube as well because heat will be lost by convection currents

Introduction Developing a structure is part of development for the nation. Building will involve the structure for residential area‚ industrial area or township area. During this decade the awareness of sustainable construction is related to the green building design to suit the purpose. In other

Problem Does adding more shortening around your hand in a bag in ice water keep your hand warmer for longer? 6. Hypothesis I think adding more shortening around my hand will keep my hand warmer for longer in ice water since more fat = more insulation. 7. Materials -shortening -bag -cold water -bucket -stopwatch 8. Procedure Put your hand in a bag with shortening around it. Close the bag around your hand. Put your hand wrapped in shortening in a bucket of ice cold water. Record with

will be exploring some design approaches on environmentally friendly buildings and to define what is mean by the term “sustainable architecture”? Green architecture is a sustainable method of green building design: it is design and construction with the environment in mind. Green architects generally work with the key concepts of creating an energy efficient‚ environmentally friendly house. The environmentally friendly building materials and construction methods will be introducing in this assignment
