Construction Ecology 3 A CASE STUDY OF THERMAL COMFORT IN A HOUSE 27th April 2013 TEH QING YANG C3102987 Page 1 1.0 Abstract An important aspect of building design process - the thermal comfort‚ is a state of mind which express thermal environment with satisfaction. In the modern days‚ most human will spend indoor than outdoor. In this report‚ problems will be chosen to be analysed based on a case study that relates to occupant thermal comfort and building thermal performance existed in a living

Period 7 30/11/2012 Renewable Energy‚ the Future Energy Only after the last tree is cut‚ the last river is poisoned‚ the last fish is caught… Only then we will realize what we have done with our planet. Right now we don’t care about it‚ but in a few years we will be facing the consequences of global warming and energy absence. That is why Ecuador should start concerning itself about our future as a country and as responsible humans‚ by the use of renewable energy; the perfect solution to these

more than enough energy to satisfy global energy needs for an entire year. Solar energy is the technology used to harness the sun’s energy and make it useable. Solar Energy is the energy from the Sun. The Sun is a big ball of heat and light resulting from nuclear fusion at its core. The nuclear reaction releases energy that travels outward to the surface of the Sun. Along the way to the surface the energy transforms so that by the time it is released it is primarily light energy. The two major

Two of which are of great interest to architects are Active Solar’ and Wind Technology.’ I believe that architects have a responsibility to look for new sources of energy‚ not just for our environments sake but to gradually lose our dependency on fossil fuels which

renewable energy sources have long been debated‚ and examined but environmentalists such as Thomas Friedman believe that the use and production of sustainable energy resources is the way of the future and particularly vital to the advancement of the human race and the world‚ as we know it. As renewable energy sources such as solar power continue to become a more sought after approach for our everyday energy needs‚ engineers and environmentalists are developing innovative ideas for renewable energy and

Kinetic Energy: Consider a baseball flying through the air. The ball is said to have "kinetic energy" by virtue of the fact that its in motion relative to the ground. You can see that it is has energy because it can do "work" on an object on the ground if it collides with it (either by pushing on it and/or damaging it during the collision). The formula for Kinetic energy‚ and for some of the other forms of energy described in this section will‚ is given in a later section of this primer. Potential

leading to the application of thermal processes for food preservation. However this thermal treatments cause undesirable effects on food flavor‚ color and nutritional attributes such as protein and vitamin destruction. These market conditions together with the disadvantages of the traditional food preservation technologies forced the food products manufacturers to seek for improvements in existing methods and the development of new preservation technologies. Called non-thermal food preservation methods

Heat energy Temperature – measure of the average KE of the particles in a substance‚ measured in degrees Celsius or degrees Kelvin. Celsius 0⁰C (freezing point of water) to 100⁰C (boiling point of water) Kelvin 0 K (absolute zero‚ particles stop moving theoretically)‚ equivalent to -273.15⁰C. Uses the same scale for increase‚ ie. a 1⁰C increase in temperature equates to a 1K increase in temperature. Heat – amount of energy transferred‚ measured in Joules (J) Kinetic Energy‚ Thermal
