  • ABSTRACT the Main Feature of a Conventional Terraced Housing Development Is Rows of Rectangular Shaped Houses with the Narrow Fa
    MAKING A RETURN ON INVESTMENT IN PASSIVE ARCHITECTURE TERRACED HOUSES DEVELOPMENT Wan Rahmah Mohd Zaki Universiti Teknologi Malaysia(UiTM) Malaysia E-mail: [email protected] Abdul Hadi Nawawi Universiti Teknologi MalaysiaQJiTM) Malaysia E-mail: [email protected] Sabarinah Sh Ahmad Universiti Teknologi MalaysiaQJiTM) Malaysia E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The main feature of a conventional terraced housing development is rows of rectangular shaped houses with the narrow facade as the frontage. Consequently, this limits natural cross ventilation and daylight penetration into the middle of the houses; and cause for unnecessary energy consumption on mechanical cooling and artijicial lighting to make the living spaces comfortable for occupants. Such inconsideration is mainly attributed to the optimum configuration of houses which offers the most economic return desired by the developer. Passive Architecture (PA) design strategies can make terraced houses more conducive for occupants as well as gives reasonable returns to the developer. The idea is demonstrated on a hypothetical double storeys terraced scheme in a 2.5 acre site whereby it is transformed intofour types of PA terraced houses development. The Return on Invesfment of the PA terraced houses is ascertained for two situations, ie., (i) fwed sales price for all types of house; and (ii) added premium to PA terraced houses due to the positive unintended effects such as low density housing, etc. If critical criteria for demand and supply in housing remain constant, it is found that PA terraced housing development offers competitive returns to the developer relative to the returns for conventional terraced housing scheme. Keyworh: Orientation, Indoor Comfort and Operational Energy 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Housing and Energy The recent public awareness on sustainability calls for housing to not only serves as a basic shelter but also to be energy efficient, i.e., designed to make occupants need low operational energy.

  • Mike Hamm Bachelor of Landscape Architecture '79
    Mike Hamm bachelor of landscape architecture '79 Hamm steered Portico’s designs, connecting with nature, culture “Portico” not only represents one architecture firm’s name, but their environmental philosophy. The word denotes the gateway or threshold between the interior – the architecture – and the exterior – the landscape environments. Mike Hamm, who spent half his tenure with Portico Group as president and CEO, co- founded the Seattle-based firm in 1984 with the other principal architects and landscape architects. April 2014 marks Hamm’s final involvement with the firm as he steps down. “I’ve been in the practice for 35 years and loved every moment of it, but you realize at a point in time there’s still many things one wants to do and see,” says Hamm, who graduated from Above: Mike Hamm, BArch ’79, CEO, Portico Group. University of Oregon’s School of Architecture and Allied Arts in 1979 with a degree in landscape architecture. Zoos, aquariums, arboretums, museums, visitor centers, and public gardens for city, state, federal, and nonprofit foundations around the world have helped to build the firm’s design reputation. Portico’s work has appeared in five continents, from a zoo in Mumbai, India, to the expansion of the North Capital Campus called Heritage Park in Olympia, Washington, to a recent concept design for an aquarium in Seoul, South Korea. “We’re not schooled in architecture school to know how to run a business,” he says. “It’s not part of the curriculum, so that’s a whole other life story. That’s been rewarding and energizing as a learning experience.” Hamm was raised in St.

Department of Classics, June, 2018. ADVISOR: Hans-Friedrich Mueller. I analyze the Pantheon, one of the most well-preserVed buildings from antiquity, through time. I start with Agrippa's Pantheon, the original Pantheon that is no longer standing, which was built in 27 or 25 BC. What did it look like originally under Augustus? Why was it built? We then shift to the Pantheon that stands today, Hadrian-Trajan's Pantheon, which was completed around AD 125-128, and represents an example of an architectural reVolution. Was it eVen a temple? We also look at the Pantheon's conversion to a church, which helps explain why it is so well preserVed.

  • Building Numbers, Street Addresses, Room Numbers
    www.facilities.ufl.edu BUSINESS AFFAIRS PLANNING DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PDC PROJECT MANAGEMENT GUIDE PMG-E14: BUILDING NUMBERS, STREET ADDRESSES, AND ROOM NUMBERS PURPOSE: To communicate guidelines and procedures for numbering facilities, establishing street addresses, and assigning space/room numbers. A. Introduction Planning Design and Construction (PDC) is responsible for numbering, tracking, and reporting facilities-related information for the University. PDC utilizes CAD/BIM technology in the data-basing of facilities information, so a meaningful numbering and CAD/BIM standard must be followed. Additionally, PDC is required to annually submit the Physical Facilities Space File to the Board of Governors and must take necessary actions to ensure the incorporation of required data elements into its operating database. Data elements are based on the Postsecondary Education Facilities Inventory and Classification Manual, 2006. B. Street Addresses A request for a street address should be made by the PDC Project Manager (PM) once a project’s physical locale has been established and before site work begins. At a minimum, the building footprint and major entry doors should be settled to establish an appropriate address. Requests for a new address will be coordinated through PDC Space Management & Analysis (SMA) staff. Upon assignment of the street address, the new address will be entered in UF-STARS for local notification to PeopleSoft, Purchasing, EH&S, and the UF community. The Alachua County E911 office will be responsible for notification to the Alachua County Call Center, USPS, major package carriers, and other external entities. New addresses outside of Alachua County should be requested by the PDC PM through PDC SMA, which will work with the appropriate local authorities.

  • Domestic Servants Personal Lives
    Explore More Domestic Servants Personal Lives In their leisure time, domestic servants likely enjoyed the same hobbies and pleasures as people in other jobs during this era. Sewing, reading, playing musical instruments, chatting over tea, or having evening gatherings in their employer’s kitchen or servants’ hall were common diversions, and may have occurred here at Lucknow. A space like the servants' hall, set aside solely for the enjoyment and rest of the servants, would have been a luxury that existed in only the wealthiest homes. Though the servants’ hall was a spot to rest and have a meal, note that the intercom, telephone, and home alarm system were in this space so a servant’s break might be frequently interrupted. For many servants in the early 20th century, Sunday would have been a typical day off to attend church, a local festival, or perhaps go to the movies. Unfortunately, domestic service workers battled the social stigma attached to their job titles, a problem which had persisted for centuries. Service was considered by some to be a disgraceful and dishonorable profession. For the most part, its workers endured a low social status in American society. A group of domestic servants, probably early 1920s. MORE ON OTHER SIDE Explore More Domestic Servants Personal Lives We don’t know for sure what it was like to live and work at Lucknow as a domestic servant, but first person accounts from people in domestic service during this era, as well as historic documents and photographs, help illustrate the experience. By the twentieth century, domestic servants had more personal freedom than they had in previous eras.
