Primarily, they were the most robust and understood dataset available at the time of the project starting. Alternative sources were available based on the UKCP09 weather generators, most notably the Prometheus file set from Exeter University. However, the main difference between UKCP02 and UKCP09 was an increase in resolution and a move to probabilistic definitions as opposed to significantly updated climate projections. This similarity in the climate projections, coupled with some questions that existed at the time over the methodologies used to create them, lead us to choose the CIBSE morphed future weather years. The CIBSE future weather years also provided consistency with the datasets previously used in the main design project. In summary, the main area of concern with the building is the area of thermal comfort in the future, being addressed both by building de- sign and adaptation and by the consideration of landscape effects. 1 CIBSE TM48 “Use of climate change scenarios for building simulation: the CIBSE future weather years” (2009) Bauman Lyons Architects 11 July 2011 Page 7 1 CIBSE TM48 “Use of climate change scenarios for building simulation: the CIBSE future weather years” (2009) 2 MF Jentsch (2009), “Viability of naturally ventilated buildings in the UK under predicted future summer climates”, University of Southampton, School of Civil Engineering and the Environment, PhD Thesis 3 CIBSE TM36 “Climate change and the indoor environment: impacts and adaptation” (2005) TSB Design for Future Climate: Adapting Buildings Within the CIBSE future weather years, the set over 28°C to be ‘hot’ as discussed in CIBSE based on the Medium-High emissions scenario TM363.

  • Design Piracy: the Extensive Impact of a Fashion Knockoff
    On the Monetary Impact of Fashion Design Piracy Gil Appel Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California [email protected] Barak Libai Arison School of Business, Interdisciplinary Center (IDC), Herzliya [email protected] Eitan Muller Stern School of Business, New York University Arison School of Business, Interdisciplinary Center (IDC), Herzliya [email protected] July 2017 The authors would like to thank Roland Rust, Senior Editor and reviewers, On Amir, Michael Haenlein, Liraz Lasry, Irit Nitzan, Raphael Thomadsen, the participants of the Marketing Science and EMAC conferences and the participants of the seminars of the business schools at University of California at Davis, the University of California at San Diego, and Stanford University for a number of helpful comments and suggestions. On the Monetary Impact of Fashion Design Piracy Abstract Whether to legally protect original fashion designs against design piracy (“knockoffs”) is an ongoing debate among legislators, industry groups, and legal academic circles, yet to-date this discussion has not utilized marketing knowledge and formal approaches. We combine data collected on the growth of fashion items, price markups, and industry statistics, to create a formal analysis of the essential questions in the base of the debate. We distinguish between three effects: Acceleration, whereby the presence of a pirated design increases the awareness of the design, and thus might have a positive effect on the growth of the original; Substitution, which represents the loss of sales due to consumers who would have purchased the original design, yet instead buy the knockoff; and the loss due to Overexposure of the design that follows the loss of uniqueness due to the design becoming too popular, causing some consumer not to adopt the design or stop using it.

  • Change Orders Ordeal: the Output of Project Disintegration
    International Journal of Business, Humanities and Technology Vol. 2 No. 1; January 2012 Change Orders Ordeal: The Output of Project Disintegration Roberto Soares, Ph.D., D.Sc., AIC, PE Assistant Professor College of Computing, Engineering and Construction University of North Florida Jacksonville, Florida United States of America Abstract Change orders are one of the most controversial issues in construction contracts and require successful negotiations to avoid claims and possible litigation. Contractors, owners and architects behave differently when dealing with change orders. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that change orders are the natural result of the disintegration of design and construction, which started in the US in 1893 with a Congressional Act formally separating the design and construction phases of a capital project .Delivery methods such as Design-Build (DB) and Construction Management at Risk (CMR), which are designed to mend the missing integration of design and construction and, consequently, eliminate the existence of change order conflict are proposed to recover the level of integration that existed at the time of the master builder. Key words: change orders, project integration, design-build, delivery methods 1. Introduction Change orders in construction are one of the most controversial issues to manage and a challenge to project management to satisfactorily resolve any change in order to avoid claims. Any construction contract is signed under the principle of “good faith,” which means that the parties will trust each other to perform according to the contract and that the contract is fair with no intention of taking advantage of the parties during the life of the contract.

  • Design Control Guidance
    Center for Devices and Radiological Health DESIGN CONTROL GUIDANCE FOR MEDICAL DEVICE MANUFACTURERS This Guidance relates to FDA 21 CFR 820.30 and Sub-clause 4.4 of ISO 9001 March 11, 1997 FOREWORD To ensure that good quality assurance practices are used for the design of medical devices and that they are consistent with quality system requirements worldwide, the Food and Drug Administration revised the Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) requirements by incorporating them into the Quality System Regulation, 21 CFR Part 820. An important component of the revision is the addition of design controls. Because design controls must apply to a wide variety of devices, the regulation does not prescribe the practices that must be used. Instead, it establishes a framework that manufacturers must use when developing and implementing design controls. The framework provides manufacturers with the flexibility needed to develop design controls that both comply with the regulation and are most appropriate for their own design and development processes. This guidance is intended to assist manufacturers in understanding the intent of the regulation. Design controls are based upon quality assurance and engineering principles. This guidance complements the regulation by describing its intent from a technical perspective using practical terms and examples. Draft guidance was made publicly available in March, 1996. We appreciate the many comments, suggestions for improvement, and encouragement we received from industry, interested parties, and the Global Harmonization Task Force (GHTF) Study Group 3. The comments were systematically reviewed, and revisions made in response to those comments and suggestions are incorporated in this version. As experience is gained with the guidance, FDA will consider the need for additional revisions within the next six to eighteen months.

References 21 Executive Summary The operating lifetime of a nuclear plant spans several decades. During this time, the plant may undergo design changes as a result of experience feedback, new knowledge or requirements, and safety reviews. To ensure that safety remains optimised, these changes must be carried out with a full understanding of and without compromising the design intent. The licensee, usually the operator, holds prime responsibility for the safety of the plant, and by extension it is fully responsible for design change management. According to the IAEA (SSR-2/1), it should fulfil this responsibility by establishing “a formal system for ensuring the continuing safety of the plant design throughout the lifetime of the nuclear power plant”.

    th 26 65 YEARS INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC FACULTY OF MACHINE CONFERENCE TECHNOLOGY 13-16 September, 2010 Sozopol, Bulgaria ENGINEERING DESIGN METHODS Georgi TODOROV Andrijana BOCEVSKA Todor NESHKOV Abstract: A related part of the complexity of modern design has been the development of new design methods. This paper reviews the field of design methods, describes methods that help to stimulate creative design thinking such as brainstorming, synectics and enlarging the search space and introduces the most relevant and widely used rational methods that covering the whole design process. The eight methods included are: user scenarios, objectives tree, function analysis, performance specification, quality function deployment, morphological chart, weighted objectives and value engineering. Key words: engineering design methods, creative methods, rational methods. 1. INTRODUCTION There is a general concern with trying to improve the efficiency of the design process. In some industries there is a pressing need to ensure that the lead-time necessary to design a new product is kept to a minimum. In all cases, it is desirable to try to avoid the mistakes and delays that often occur in conventional design procedures. One of the most significant aspects of this concern to improve the design process has been the development of new design methods. The main intention of these new methods is that they attempt to bring rational procedures into the design process. The new methods tend to have two principal features in common. One is that they formalize certain procedures of design, and the other is that they externalize design thinking. Formalization is a common feature of design methods because they attempt to avoid the occurrence of oversights, of overlooked factors in the design problem, of the kinds of errors that occur with informal methods.
