101 Rules of Thumb for Low-Energy Architecture

101 Rules of Thumb for Low-Energy Architecture

Buildings and construction are a major contributor to the climate and biodiversity emergency. They account for nearly 40% of energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. It is more important than ever for architects to design responsibly and create low-carbon low-energy buildings for a sustainable future. 101 Rules of Thumb sets out the essential elements of low-energy architecture in a fresh intuitive way. Where ever-changing technology and complex legislation can cloud the designer’s thought-process this book equips you with the fundamentals you need to minimise CO2 emissions design for low-energy use and work with not against the forces of nature. With reliable simple rules of thumb each page focuses on a single piece of guidance along with a clear hand-drawn illustration. The emphasis is on passive low-energy principles and the rules of thumb cover all the design fundamentals from site and location to orientation and form peppered with ideas to help the designer think outside the box drawing inspiration from traditional methods photoperiodic plants and the black-tailed prairie dog. An extended fully updated narrative bibliography explores the sources in detail and provides a valuable springboard for further study. Applicable throughout the world in any climate region 101 Rules of Thumb is a global primer to be dipped into at any time as a quick means of re-focusing on what’s important when designing a new or retrofitted low-energy building. The rules cover: Site and location Orientation and form The low-energy building envelope Carbon free heating cooling and lighting Passive low-energy principles. | 101 Rules of Thumb for Low-Energy Architecture

The Social Challenges and Opportunities of Low Carbon Development

The Social Challenges and Opportunities of Low Carbon Development

This book explores the social implications and challenges of low-carbon development. The argument of the book is that a broad understanding of low-carbon development is essential for mitigating climate change and enabling development in a carbon-constrained world but there are risks that low-carbon development might come at a price that is both social and economic. These risks need to be carefully assessed and reduced. The main aim of the book is to explore critically analyse and propose different ways of understanding low-carbon development from a social perspective in both developed and developing countries. The author uses concepts such as low-carbon development social policy sustainable development and environmental justice to understand the social implications of low-carbon development projects. The book first elaborates the need to understand the social issues and challenges of low-carbon development in both developed and developing countries. It then discusses five contemporary challenges of low-carbon development: the social consequences of Chinese hydropower dams in the Mekong region; the cost of the transition to renewable energies such as wind energy in Germany; the challenges of carbon offsetting in Brazil; the nexus of fuel-inefficient housing and fuel poverty in England; solar power for refugees in Africa. The book fills a crucial gap for researchers postgraduates practitioners and policy-makers in the fields of climate change development and social policy. Johan Nordensvärd is a Lecturer in Social Policy at the University of Southampton UK. | The Social Challenges and Opportunities of Low Carbon Development

Functionalization of Molecular Architectures Advances and Applications on Low-Dimensional Compounds

Functionalization of Molecular Architectures Advances and Applications on Low-Dimensional Compounds

Low-dimensional compounds are molecules that correspond to various shapes such as rod ladder (one-dimensional compounds) and sheet (two-dimensional compounds). They are ordinarily found in electromagnetic fields. Recently versatile low-dimensional compounds were proposed for use as components of various functional materials. These new-class low-dimensional compounds contribute significantly to industrial/materials sciences. The molecular architecture consisting of low-dimensional compounds can also be found in nature. One example is the cell cytoskeleton which is a network- or bundle-like architecture consisting of rod-like protein assemblies. The cell accomplishes its motility by structural transition of the cytoskeleton—that is phase transition of the architecture of low-dimensional compounds in response to some stimuli induces shape changes in cells. Another example is nacre which is composed of layered aragonite platelets usually a metastable CaCO3 polymorph. The layered inorganic platelets give nacre its stiffness and noncombustibility. Thus the molecular architecture of low-dimensional compounds in natural life contributes to their functionality. This book reviews various advanced studies on the application of low-dimensional compounds and is therefore important for the development of materials sciences and industrial technologies. | Functionalization of Molecular Architectures Advances and Applications on Low-Dimensional Compounds

Low Head Hydropower for Local Energy Solutions

Low Head Hydropower for Local Energy Solutions

The role of small hydropower is becoming increasingly important on a global level. Increasing energy demand and environmental awareness has further triggered research and development into sustainable low-cost technologies. In developing countries particularly in rural areas the possibility of local power generation could considerably improve living conditions. With this in mind the development of a next generation low-head hydropower machines was subject of investigation in the EU-project HYLOW. Being part of the research lines of that project this thesis presents a numerical modelling approach to improve the design of machines like water wheels for increased hydraulic efficiency. Nowadays Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) enables numerical models to be quite accurate and incorporate physical complexities like free surfaces and rotating machines. The results of the CFD simulations carried out in this research show that a change in blade geometry can result in higher torque levels thereby increasing performance. Numerical simulations also enabled to determine the optimal wheel-width to channel-width ratio and further improve performance by modifying the channel bed conditions upstream and downstream of the water wheel. With a power rating in the low kilowatt range low-head hydropower machines like optimised water wheels seem to have a clear potential for small-scale energy generation thereby contributing to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by providing local energy solutions. | Low Head Hydropower for Local Energy Solutions

Low-Volume Road Engineering Design Construction and Maintenance

Low-Volume Road Engineering Design Construction and Maintenance

Everything that sustains us – grown mined or drilled – begins its journey to us on a low-volume road (Long). Defined as roads with traffic volumes of no more than 400 vehicles per day they have enormous impacts on economies communication and social interaction. Low-volume roads comprise at one end of the spectrum farm-to-market roads roads in developing countries northern roads roads on aboriginal lands and parklands; and at the other end of the spectrum heavy haul roads for mining oil and gas oil sands extraction and forestry. Low-Volume Road Engineering: Design Construction and Maintenance gives an international perspective to the engineering design of low-volume roads and their construction and maintenance. It is a single reference drawing from the dispersed literature. It lays out the basic principles of each topic from road location and geometric design pavement design slope stability and erosion control through construction to maintenance then refers the reader to more comprehensive treatment elsewhere. Wherever possible comparisons are made between the standard specifications and practices existing in the US Canada the UK South Africa Australia and New Zealand. Topics covered include the following: Road classification location and geometric design Pavement concepts materials and thickness design Drainage erosion and sediment control and watercrossings Slope stability Geosynthetics Road construction maintenance and maintenance management Low-Volume Road Engineering: Design Construction and Maintenance is a valuable reference for engineers planners designers and project managers in consulting firms contracting firms and NGOs. It also is an essential reference in support of university courses on transportation engineering and planning and on mining oil and gas and forestry infrastructure. | Low-Volume Road Engineering Design Construction and Maintenance
