The South African SANS 204 and SANS 10400-XA regulate the design of new buildings and current building extensions. In order for this to be regulated properly, building plans must be approved for meeting the standards set out in the SAB regulations (Botes, 2011). The intention of the regulations is to ensure that buildings are built to be more energy efficient by designing them to be well insulated, more resistant to air leakage via windows, doors and ceilings with weak seals. This makes a building
The versatility of incorporating passive design and architecture has recently been a topic much discussed in the construction industry. With passive design strategies taking advantage of the climate and context in order to improve the wellbeing of both user and nature alike, it is obvious why sustainable architecture is growing in usage in this modern day and age. An outstanding example of passive design is that of natural ventilation and lighting systems, which extensively uses the building site
In developing this contemporary and iconic building, the design focuses on practical attributes and optimises energy efficiency. The design strategy encapsulates four key aspects: • Energy Efficiency • Water Efficiency • Environmental Protection • Indoor Environmental Quality 3.5 THE GREEN BUILDING ACREDITATION. Globally, green buildings are being
distribution based on the demand at the Point-of-Sale (POS). The POS is the time and place where a retail transaction is completed, in this case at the till in the Pick n Pay store. In order to make Efficient replenishment a success, it is of great importance that that Sonnendal gets access to the original, non-biased POS data. When this is done properly the “bullwhip” effect, which may cause the large demand spikes, can be avoided. The retailer could start up so-called extranet, allowing suppliers to
2.1 Introduction A study of urban park design on users’ attachment plays an important role for enabling social interaction and fostering community development (Nassar, 2014). The understanding in design development of urban park layout and planning may consider users need will contribute to the encouragement and stimulating social cohesion. The chapter highlights the information of design planning of urban parks for users’ attachment helps in improving social interaction. In other words, this
symbolic of city dynamic development. The primary goal of this research paper is to establish the or to study the interrelationship between physical patterns and people activity patterns in open spaces. Considering this goal, the paper deals with the design features of urban public spaces targeting on people's activities and various forms of use. It utilizes a procedure
Nowadays, environmental concerns as well as the sharp rise in the price of oil spark researchers interest towards issues pertain to hybrid and electric vehicles. Electric vehicles are more efficient and versatile than their counterpart; that is, internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs). Therefore, the electrification of vehicles can counteract the detrimental effects of ICEVs when in terms of environmental as well as energy issues. The new generation of electric vehicles allow interesting layout
learners of grade six and the challenges faced by teachers in teaching reading. The sample contained 206 participants from 10 schools in Chadiza and Chipata districts of the Eastern province of Zambia by applying quantitative and qualitative research designs and derived information through teacher questionnaire. The result of the study found that most of the students of six grade were not able to read fluently and when they read, they did mistakes like substituting, adding and eliminating some words and
“The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth.” John F. Kennedy. Schools and teachers always try their best to realize all such goals of education. For that, a clear cut plans and strong beliefs are inevitable. All those beliefs of teacher individuals form their foundation of teaching upon which strong building of generations should be built upon, form the philosophy of their teaching. In addition to that, critical thinking, intellect social interactions will
