Download or read book Stay Cool written by Holger Koch-Nielsen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In hot dry or warm humid climates, more than half of the urban peak load of energy consumption is used to satisfy air-conditioning demands alone. Since the urbanization rate in developing countries is extreme, the pressure placed on energy resources to satisfy the future requirements of the built environment will be great, unless new, more cost-effective measures can be introduced. Stay Cool is an essential guide for planning and design using active design principles and passive means to satisfy human comfort requirements specifically in these climate zones, based on examples of traditional and modern constructions. The book demonstrates how a design strategy for urban environments and individual buildings, incorporating naturally occurring resources and specific energy-efficient technologies, can create a location, form and structure that promote significant energy-savings. Such strategies can be applied to low cost housing, or indeed to any other buildings, in order to improve comfort with passive means and low energy budgets. Following an outline of climatic issues, characteristics and thermal comfort requirements, the book details the available techniques and technologies that can be used to shape both built and external environments, the building envelope, material selections and natural ventilation and cooling methods to satisfy both human requirements and the need for energy efficiency. It also includes an active design checklist and summary of available design checking tools, a rehabilitation guide for existing urban, building and external environments, and solar charts. Planners, architects, engineers, technicians and building designers will find Stay Cool an inspirational guide and an essential reference when working with planning and design of the built environment in hot dry and warm humid climate zones. It will also be of benefit to students, academics and researchers with an interest in sustainable and energy-efficient architecture techniques and practice.

Download or read book Stay Cool written by Mark Pucci and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2007-11 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stay Cool is perhaps a polemic. Better yet, it is the song of the underprivileged. Either way, here is a book that mixes both of these elements celebrating only those things which are vital to our happiness. Indolent and content, Mark Pucci thoroughly enjoys a bohemian lifestyle. Elevating art above the superficiality of materialism, he leads a humble life filled with the wealth of poetry, music, family and friends. Yet all of this is threatened after a conversation with a wealthy eccentric who lives vicariously through Mark's talent as a writer. Seduced by the prospect of making some extra money, unable to afford to fix a nagging toothache, Pucci is tempted by the prospects of fame. From the recurrence of the shadowy young kid who reminds him to "stay cool" to the many episodic events that unfold throughout the story, he is constantly drawn inward. Perhaps the most surprising part comes at the end in Pucci's efforts to bring love to two lonely individuals while in the wake of his own self-discovery. His achievement is the ability to focus beauty on the ordinary gifts we commonly take for granted all across America.

Download or read book De ira written by Lucius Annaeus Seneca and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-19 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Timeless wisdom on controlling anger in personal life and politics from the Roman Stoic philosopher and statesman Seneca In his essay “On Anger” (De Ira), the Roman Stoic thinker Seneca (c. 4 BC–65 AD) argues that anger is the most destructive passion: “No plague has cost the human race more dear.” This was proved by his own life, which he barely preserved under one wrathful emperor, Caligula, and lost under a second, Nero. This splendid new translation of essential selections from “On Anger,” presented with an enlightening introduction and the original Latin on facing pages, offers readers a timeless guide to avoiding and managing anger. It vividly illustrates why the emotion is so dangerous and why controlling it would bring vast benefits to individuals and society. Drawing on his great arsenal of rhetoric, including historical examples (especially from Caligula’s horrific reign), anecdotes, quips, and soaring flights of eloquence, Seneca builds his case against anger with mounting intensity. Like a fire-and-brimstone preacher, he paints a grim picture of the moral perils to which anger exposes us, tracing nearly all the world’s evils to this one toxic source. But he then uplifts us with a beatific vision of the alternate path, a path of forgiveness and compassion that resonates with Christian and Buddhist ethics. Seneca’s thoughts on anger have never been more relevant than today, when uncivil discourse has increasingly infected public debate. Whether seeking personal growth or political renewal, readers will find, in Seneca’s wisdom, a valuable antidote to the ills of an angry age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People sweat to stay cool. The water comes out of our skin. As it dries, it takes the heat from our body with it. This helps us to stay cool. If the water is not drying fast enough, we can sit in front of a fan. This takes the water off our bodies faster. If that is not enough, we can add more water to our skin. We do this by running through a sprinkler or going swimming. Now that is a lot of water on your body. And all of that water is taking away some of the heat. That is how we stay cool. But many animals do not sweat. They also do not have sprinklers they can run through! They have to find other ways to stay cool. Here is how they do it. Ages 7 to 12 and up.
