Download or read book Site Layout Planning for Daylight and Sunlight written by P. J. Littlefair and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People expect good natural lighting in their homes and in a wide range of non-domestic buildings. Daylight makes an interior look more attractive and interesting as well as providing light to work or read by. Access to skylight and sunlight helps to make a building energy-efficient; effective daylighting will reduce the need for electric light, while winter solar gain can meet some of the heating requirements.

Download or read book Daylight Design of Buildings written by Nick Baker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-01-02 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To complement the critical and objective view gleaned from the study of some sixty buildings, this design manual has been developed to provide a more synthetic approach to the principles which lie behind successful daylight design. These principles are illustrated with examples drawn from the case study buildings. The emphasis throughout has been on practical methods to improve design, rather than techniques studied for any intrinsic interest. The book provides the necessary tools to assist the designer to provide well daylit interiors, and shows that good daylight design is not a restriction on architectural expression but, on the contrary, acts as an inspiration and foundation for good architecture.

Download or read book Construction Site Layout Planning written by Emad Elbeltagi and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2014-05-12 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Site layout planning is an important activity that involves identifying, sizing, and placing of temporary facilities within the boundaries of a construction site. The basic consideration in an effective site layout planning is the smooth and low-cost flow of materials, labor, and equipment within the site, in addition to satisfying various work constraints and safety requirements. This book presents a methodology for site layout planning. This methodology aims at supporting the three decisions related to site layout planning: identifying necessary facilities and determining their sizes; determining the inter-relationships among the facilities and optimizing the placement of the facilities on the site. The three decisions are mainly experience-based, however, each lends itself well to a different solution mechanism. Identifying the facilities and their sizes is knowledge dependent and as such a knowledge-based system is used in this process. Determining the desirability of having facilities close or apart from each other is also a problem that lends itself well to fuzzy-set applications. The optimization of facility placement on the site is done using genetic algorithms.
Download or read book Daylighting Design written by Mohamed Boubekri and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2014-09-25 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For thousands of years people have aligned their homes with the sun. This tendency decreased with the availability of artificial light. Yet, due to the health effects of artificial light as well as rising energy costs, the issue of designing with daylight is of great importance again today. The primary objective of daylight systems is to make maximum use of daylight for certain building types and climates. The book documents the various dimensions of the optimum use of daylight with particular reference to window orientation, light distribution, and prism technology, and discusses the health and economic related aspects. In the final chapter, existing design concepts are documented in detail, including the expansion of the Art Institute of Chicago Museum in the United States by Renzo Piano Building Workshop,Terminal 3 of the Changi Airport in Singapore by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, and the Clever House in Germany by Behnisch Architekten.

Download or read book Solar Energy at Urban Scale written by Benoit Beckers and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-03-04 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing urbanization throughout the world, the depletion of fossil fuels and concerns about global warming have transformed the city into a physical problem of prime importance. This book proposes a multi-disciplinary and systematic approach concerning specialities as different as meteorology, geography, architecture and urban engineering systems, all surrounding the essential problem of solar radiation. It collects the points of view of 18 specialists from around the world on the interaction between solar energy and constructions, combining territorial, urban and architectural scales to better regulate energetic efficiency and light comfort for the sustainable city. The main subjects covered are: measures and models of solar irradiance (satellite observations, territorial and urban ground measurements, sky models, satellite data and urban mock-up), radiative contribution to the urban climate (local heat balance, radiative-aerodynamics coupling, evapotranspiration, Urban Heat Island), light and heat modeling (climate-based daylight modeling, geometrical models of the city, solar radiation modeling for urban environments, thermal simulation methods and algorithms) and urban planning, with special considerations for solar potential, solar impact and daylight rights in the temperate, northern and tropical climates, and the requirement of urban solar regulation.
