Download or read book House Design Construction and Equipment written by John M. Gries and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: House Design, Construction and Equipment: Reports on the Committees on Design is written and published by the President's Conference on Home Building and Home Ownership. This book was published in the hope of combating faulty design, uneconomic planning, defective construction, and imperfect equipment. By increasing awareness of design and proper building policies and procedures, this book intends to ensure that future construction and developments don't fall into the trap of poor and defective design, thereby saving the reader untold time and resources. The book contends that any standard dwelling should serve its occupants for at least three generations of inhabitants and each building should maintain this standard of sustainability; not only is this standard attainable, it should be industry standard. The text also discusses at length the major issue of workers and designers who are satisfied with imperfect practices and second-rate structures. The publication challenges individuals who are in construction and design to raise their personal standards of work and to fill neighborhoods and communities with the best structures they can possibly build. Overall, the text effectively establishes a relevant dialogue on building and construction standards with a realistic understanding of the pressures of oversight and the limitations on supplies and economic constrictions. House Design, Construction and Equipment: Reports on the Committees on Design is an interesting read for anyone intrigued by design and construction or with the business constraints on builders and construction crews. The text is primarily intended for architects, contractors and producers of building materials and equipment, but can be enjoyed by students of architecture and individuals interested in construction. This book is also engaging for readers with a mind for business and who are keenly intrigued by construction.

This book was released on 2016-06-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moisture control is fundamental to the proper functioning of any building. Controlling moisture is important to protect occupants from adverse health effects and to protect the building, its mechanical systems and its contents from physical or chemical damage. Yet, moisture problems are so common in buildings, many people consider them inevitable. Excessive moisture accumulation plagues buildings throughout the United States, from tropical Hawaii to arctic Alaska and from the hot, humid Gulf Coast to the hot, dry Sonoran Desert. Between 1994 and 1998, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Building Assessment Survey and Evaluation (BASE) study collected information about the indoor air quality of 100 randomly selected public and private office buildings in the 10 U.S. climatic regions.
