Download or read book Integrated Life Cycle Design of Structures written by Asko Sarja and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2002-03-28 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally the process of design has concentrated on the construction phase itself, with the primary objective being to optimise efficiency and minimise costs during development and construction. With the move towards a more sustainable development comes the need for this short-term approach to be expanded to encompass the entire service life of the structure. This book describes how to optimise the service life of structures, through an optimum integrated life cycle design process. Sustainability and material performance issues are detailed. Integrated Life Cycle Design of Structures provides a comprehensive account of this rapidly emerging field. It is essential reading for civil and structural engineers, designers, architects, contractors, and clients.

Download or read book Green Building Guidance written by Karthik Karuppu, NVICO and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2019-02-07 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conventional buildings don’t have sustainability because of the approach of designing and the construction method. The total energy consumption calculates for all buildings account for up to 40% in India, and commercial and residential real estate combined will account for more than 2000 TWH of energy consumption by 2030. India has an expected energy deficit of around 12% which is one of the major hurdles for the government. This will result in a further increase in electrification in all areas. Green buildings utilize fewer resources and are healthier to live in. They offer significant operational cost savings compared with conventional buildings. In effect, green homes can expect a 14 percent savings in operational costs over five-year savings for new green buildings and 13 percent savings in operational costs over five years for green retrofit and renovation projects. Building owners also report that green buildings, whether new or renovated, give a 7 percent increase in asset value over conventional buildings.

Download or read book Building with Vision written by Dan Imhoff and published by Wood Reduction Trilogy. This book was released on 2001 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part green building primer, part architectural photo essay, this is an essential resource for professionals and homeowners interested in the leading edge of environmental building. Imhoff traveled extensively to document and photograph beautiful and novel alternatives to wood intensive-building. Building with Vision is the first book to link residential building with forest impacts. Nearly 1.5 million new houses are built in the United States each year, 90 percent framed with wood, and the average house consuming an acre's worth of trees. But as Building with Vision shows, from framing and siding to new building systems and finish materials, there are many ways architects, contractors, and homeowners can make high-quality, resourceful, long-lasting and beautiful decisions. Details include building techniques as well as materials, including Styrofoam, steel, concrete, straw bales, rammed earth, adobe and much more.
