The region includes Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery counties, as well as the City of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania and Burlington, Camden, Gloucester and Mercer counties in New Jersey. DVRPC provides technical assistance and services; conducts high priority studies that respond to the requests and demands of member state and local governments; fosters cooperation among various constituents to forge a consensus on diverse regional issues; determines and meets the needs of the private sector; and practices public outreach efforts to promote two-way communication and public awareness of regional issues and the Commission. Our logo is adapted from the official DVRPC seal and is designed as a stylized image of the Delaware Valley. The outer ring symbolizes the region as a whole, while the diagonal bar signifies the Delaware River. The two adjoining crescents represent the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the State of New Jersey. DVRPC is funded by a variety of funding sources including federal grants from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA), the Pennsylvania and New Jersey departments of transportation, as well as by DVRPC’s state and local member governments.

  • Architectural Aspects of Atrium
    International Journal on Engineering Performance-Based Fire Codes, Volume 5, Number 4, p.131-137, 2003 ARCHITECTURAL ASPECTS OF ATRIUM W.Y. Hung Department of Building Services Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong, China ABSTRACT Buildings with atrium can be found everywhere in big cities among which Hong Kong is one of the examples. The evolution of this building type should be traced back to explore the reason why it has been a popular design throughout these years. It was found originated about two hundred years ago, with changes in terms of configurations and functions occurred. After centuries of development, benefits and detriments of atrium could be clearly identified in architectural, environmental and economic aspects respectively, which are discussed in this paper. To get around the demerits brought about by the atrium design in new projects, some design considerations are proposed to be taken into account. Some of the famous local atrium buildings are reviewed to give a clearer picture on the application and design of the building feature. Other than the problems of those aspects mentioned above, fire safety problem is more serious comparatively since human life is involved. The potential fire hazards are discussed. According to local fire codes, atrium buildings are usually installed with sprinkler systems which are used to protect in a wide range of building types. However, with the unique characteristics of large internal open space and high headroom, sprinkler systems can give certain adverse effects where further considerations are essential to ensure fire safety and safeguard occupants’ lives. Keywords: atrium, energy conservation, fire safety, daylight, thermal comfort 1.

  • End of the Office: the Quiet, Grinding Loneliness of Working from Home Before Covid-19, Many of Us Thought Remote Working Sounded Blissful
    Mentoring Mondays August 10, 2020 POCKET WORTHY Stories to fuel your mind. End of the Office: The Quiet, Grinding Loneliness of Working from Home Before Covid-19, many of us thought remote working sounded blissful. Now, employees across the world long for chats by the coffee machine and the whirr of printers. The Guardian Simon Usborne Many people live in flats that are entirely unsuited to working. Photo by Dan Douglas / Superveillance / Getty Images. Dahlia Francis is sitting on a small couch at the foot of her bed, in her shared flat, on a housing estate in south London. She wears her new uniform of pyjama bottoms and a Zoom-ready plain T-shirt. Her room used to be a living room. Now the only communal space is the kitchen, where Francis’s three flatmates occupy a small dining table. They, like almost half of Britain’s workforce, are also working from home. Francis, who is 29, is a credit controller for a charity in central London. She commuted there, by bus and tube, for a little more than a year. There were baking competitions and quizzes and a kitchenette, where gossip and tea flowed freely. Now the kettle is silent and the cubicles are empty. They are likely to remain so for the rest of the year. For the first few weeks after her office closed in late March, Francis was too busy to consider her new circumstances. Then they hit her – and got her down. Days spent in her bedroom hunched over a laptop, centimetres from where she slept, blurred into endless weeks.
