Download or read book Design Strategies for Efficient and Sustainable Building Facilities written by González-Lezcano, Roberto Alonso and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2024-08-05 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the growing emphasis on energy efficiency in building design, our indoor environments often fall short of providing optimal conditions for health and well-being. Indoor air quality, temperature, and lighting levels play crucial roles in occupant health, yet they are frequently overlooked in building practices. This oversight leads to environments that can harm health, contributing to respiratory problems, allergies, and reduced productivity. Design Strategies for Efficient and Sustainable Building Facilities offers a comprehensive solution. We delve into recent advances in building design, construction, and operation that prioritize energy efficiency and occupant health. By incorporating intelligent sensors, automation systems, and renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, buildings can be transformed into healthy, sustainable spaces that promote well-being. This book is tailored for researchers, professionals, university professors, and master's and doctoral students who seek to advance sustainable building practices.

Download or read book La conservaci n preventiva durante la exposici n de dibujos y pinturas sobre lienzo written by Reyes Jiménez de Garnica and published by . This book was released on 2011-03 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La movilidad de las colecciones es una realidad que preocupa cada día más a los responsables de su conservación. Compartir piezas con otros museos e instituciones se ha convertido en una práctica habitual, que si bien nos acerca a nuevas culturas a través del contacto directo con las obras, exige la profesionalización de los técnicos y la aplicación de unos procedimientos y metodologías estrictos en el ámbito de la manipulación y presentación de los objetos. Solo una buena práctica y un profundo conocimiento teórico de los procedimientos pictóricos y la conservación preventiva permitirán conocer cómo y con qué están hechos los objetos, cómo reaccionan los materiales y cuál es el medio idóneo para su conservación. Este pequeño manual pretende dar unas pautas para la manipulación y presentación de dibujos y pinturas, detectando las situaciones de riesgo y avanzándonos a sus consecuencias. Se incluyen algunos ejemplos prácticos que dan sencillas soluciones aplicables en las salas de exposición. Únicamente gracias a una actuación responsable se permitirá exponer las obras con las máximas garantías de conservación y establecer protocolos para minimizar el impacto ambiental durante el periodo de exhibición. Reyes Jiménez de Garnica es licenciada en bellas artes por la Universidad Complutense y titulada en conservación y restauración de pintura por la Escuela Superior de Conservación y Restauración de Bienes Culturales de Madrid.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "En las últimas dos décadas, una mayor formación cultural del público ha traído consigo una demanda en la calidad museológica y museográfica. Y una mayor concienciación hacia la preservación del Patrimonio por parte de organizaciones internacionales y nacionales: UNESCO, ICOM. Este texto se ocupa por un lado, de los planes de conservación preventiva incluyendo el análisis y control de los parámetros ambientales y, por otro, del diseño de exposiciones y su relación con la conservación preventiva. Analiza el concepto "evaluación de riesgo", que permite establecer prioridades de conservación, permitiendo la corrección de las deficiencias y el planteamiento de unas medidas de control más ajustadas a las necesidades y posibilidades de los museos. Pero, sobre todo, se dan soluciones prácticas y reales en la aplicación de la teoría y técnicas de la conservación preventiva al diseño de exposiciones."

Download or read book LA CONSERVACION PREVENTIVA DURANTE LA EXPOSICION DE ESCULTURAS EN PIEDRA written by Sonia Tortajada Hernando and published by . This book was released on 2011-03 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El material pétreo siempre se ha considerado como un material eterno, pero es susceptible de alterarse al igual que cualquier otro material que conforma los bienes culturales. En este manual se abordan los diferentes aspectos que influyen en la conservación preventiva de la escultura en piedra, haciendo referencia a los factores climáticos, la manipulación, el montaje y la exposición. Se proponen aquí diferentes recomendaciones de conservación, desde un punto de vista práctico pero técnico, para acercar a los diferentes profesionales vinculados en la custodia de los bienes de interés cultural al complejo mundo de la conservación preventiva relativa a las exposiciones, sin olvidar que estas recomendaciones deberían ser interpretadas como tales y no como verdades absolutas, ya que la premisa indispensable para una buena conservación es el estudio de las necesidades de las obras a conservar y trazar un plan específico para ellas. Sonia Tortajada Hernando es, desde el 2004, restauradora de escultura en el Museo Nacional del Prado, donde desarrolla su actividad profesional en obras realizadas en piedra, escayola, barro y madera policromada, principalmente. Es licenciada en bellas artes con la especialidad de restauración de escultura; DEA en el programa de doctorado Conservación y Restauración del Patrimonio Artístico por la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, y diplomada en conservación y restauración con la especialidad de pintura por la Escuela Superior de Conservación y Restauración de Madrid.

Book excerpt: This book tells a story to shake the conscience of the world. It is the catalogue of the first-ever traveling exhibition about the Auschwitz concentration camp, where 1.1 million people—mostly Jews, but also non-Jewish Poles, Roma, and others—lost their lives. More than 280 objects and images from the exhibition are illustrated herein. Drawn from the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum and other collections around the world, they range from the intimate (such as victims’ family snapshots and personal belongings) to the immense (an actual surviving barrack from the Auschwitz III–Monowitz satellite camp); all are eloquent in their testimony. An authoritative yet accessible text weaves the stories behind these artifacts into an encompassing history of Auschwitz—from a Polish town at the crossroads of Europe, to the dark center of the Holocaust, to a powerful site of remembrance. Auschwitz: Not long ago. Not far away. is an essential volume for everyone who is interested in history and its lessons.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

Download or read book International Code of Conduct on Pesticide Management written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The understanding that some pesticides are more hazardous than others is well established. Recognition of this is reflected by the World Health Organization (WHO) Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazard, which was first published in 1975. The document classifies pesticides in one of five hazard classes according to their acute toxicity. In 2002, the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) was introduced, which in addition to acute toxicity also provides classification of chemicals according to their chronic health hazards and environmental hazards.
