the lands water‚ sunlight‚ ventilation‚ soil etc. all effect other parts of the home and surrounding ecosystems. This is systems thinking on a small scale‚ to expand outward you must start to think of the transportation of materials. Where does the timber or concrete come from? Do the workers have fare wages and medical care? What is the carbon footprint? Is the lumber sustainably grown? Are there invasive species that can travel with the materials? Will the materials be toxic to humans‚ pets or wild

clapboard‚ shingle and lapboard styles. However‚ if you want "raw" siding that allows the color and grain of the natural wood to be visible‚ you will need to choose wood siding. If you have a historic home with old-style window surrounds or heavy timber framing‚ fiber cement‚ which is just slightly thinner than wood siding‚ may not provide an authentic profile around the doors and windows. However‚ many architectural review boards allow fiber cement siding when renovating a historic

Subdivision and types of Residential Buildings What is a Subdivision Subdivision is the act of dividing land into pieces that are easier to sell or otherwise develop‚ usually via a plat. The former single piece as a whole is then known in the United States as a subdivision. If it is used for housing it is typically known as a housing subdivision or housing development‚ although some developers tend to call these areas communities. What is required to open a new Subdivision Subdivision process

such as timber‚ metal and bricks and therefore reducing pollution dumped into landfill sites. * Using developments in technology such as biofuels and low sulphur fuels to provide cleaner emissions released during combustion in engines. Reduction in embodied energy There is a close relationship between the energy we use and global warming. We can therefore try to reduce the amount of energy we use in construction by specifying materials that have lower embodied energy. Natural timber products

Building Construction Related to the Fire Service Chapter 1: Building Construction & Fire Service The building variables that FF must consider: • Age of building – age in itself is not a hazard but an indication of potential hazards • Fire protection systems – first line of defense in a building • Occupancy of the building – often affects fire behavior…each occupancy has different hazards & fuels‚ and the structural components are subjected to different temperatures‚ heat release

In chapter 12 we explore the artistic development in Architecture. When conceptualizing a building architects incorporate three things: function‚ form‚ and structure. Function is how the building will be used‚ form is how the building looks‚ and structures is how the building remains standing. Architects need to design structures that hold up under any combination of three physical forces; compression‚ tension‚ and bending. To days architects have a plethora of materials at their disposal‚ they benefit
