Book excerpt: The Encyclopedia concentrates on resources that are useful, in an easy-to-use format to enable the Architect to access this wealth of knowledge. More than a simple listing, the Encyclopedia provides the "intelligence" to find, evaluate, and contact the resources that can save time and money in the day-to-day practice of an Architect. The Encyclopedia will have a system to indicate to readers which listings are the most targeted in terms of the "best" sources. There will be four indexes: Keyword index, Name index, Master Format index, and Acronym index.

Download or read book How to Ensure Good Thermal Performance of Cellulose Fibre Insulation written by M. Bomberg and published by Division of Building Research, National Research Council of Canada [i.e. National Research Council Canada]. This book was released on 1980 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The customer for cellulose fibre insulation (CFI) has only two basic requirements: that the insulation provide the desired thermal resistance for the service life of the building; and that its use does not increase the hazard to health or contribute to the deterioration of other building components. An analysis of the requirements for CFI used as attic insulation is given in Table I. The thermal resistance provided by CFI is basically a function of its thickness and density. However, the thermal conductivity is almost independent of the density, in the density range at which the material is normally applied, i.e., 30 to 55 kg/m3 . There is a certain, relatively small range of variability, depending on paper grinding, the paper stock used, and the chemicals added, etc., but the thermal conductivity of all CFI material is practically the same. Research on CFI has led to the development of a number of test methods to determine the density and density changes during service life, and hence the resistance that will be provided by a given mass of material. In these tests, an accurate estimate of settlement is required because, in the field, CFI blown at a relatively low density will generally settle under the influence of such factors as temperature and humidity variations, and building vibrations. The test for density determination in Specification 51-GP-60M,8 of the Canadian Government Specifications Board (CGSB) is performed by blowing the material at machine settings selected to produce a minimum density. The "design density" is then calculated by Method A - from the blown density and the settlement determined by a drop test plus a temperature-humidity cycling test; or by Method B - from the blown density multiplied by a factor of 1.27, which is determined by averaging the settlement observed for tests on several materials. The manufacturer is required to label the bags or containers with the weight of the material and the area coverage for various resistances. The design density must therefore be predicted quite accurately if the "resistance coverage" values listed are to be realistic because the resistance provided depends mainly on the final thickness achieved. This implies two testing requirements: a test for quality assurance to ensure that the customer gets the resistance expected; and a quality control test that the manufacturer can use to ensure that he is producing a uniform material according to the specification. This Note will examine the precision of the various methods that determine design density in terms of their repeatability and reproducibility, and will discuss the effect of material variability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Design your own sustainable home Many people dream of building a beautiful, environmentally friendly home. But until now there has been no systematic guide to help potential builders work through the complete process of imagining, planning, designing, and building their ideal, sustainable home. Essential Sustainable Home Design walks potential homebuilders through the process starting with key concepts, principles, and a project vision that will guide the house to completion. Coverage includes: How to clarify your ideas and create a practical pathway to achieving your dream A criteria matrix to guide design, material, and systems decisions Creating a strong, integrated design team and working with professionals and code officials to keep the project on track from start to finish. Key building science concepts that make for a high-performance, durable building Primer on building logistics, material sourcing, and protocols to ensure that the initial vision for the project comes to fruition. One-page summaries and ratings of popular sustainable building materials and system options. Ideal for owner-builders and sustainable building contractors working with clients aiming to design and build a sustainable home. Chris Magwood has designed and built some of the most innovative, sustainable buildings in North America, including the first off-grid, straw bale home in Ontario. He is co-founder and director the Endeavour Centre for Innovative Building and Living and co-editor of the Sustainable Building Essentials series. Chris is the author of Essential Prefab Straw Bale Construction, Essential Hempcrete Construction, Straw Bale Details, More Straw Bale Building , and Making Better Buildings .
