    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.

Any building intended in whole or part for residential purposes shall provide a minimum floor area, and basement or utility area as hereinafter specified by the regulations for the District in which such building is located. A. The minimum floor requirement for residential use shall be based upon the number of bedrooms, as defined by the Building Code, and total rooms, as defined by the Building Code exclusive of bathrooms, and is stated in terms of the total useable residential floor area required per family on a single floor level. B. In any district which requires minimum floor area for purposes and an attached garage requirement (sic), the district may credit a portion of the garage area toward the required minimum floor area. Carports shall not be so credited nor garages built at a basement level. C. In the case of any residential building which has more than a single floor level, the total of all liveable floor area which is not over any other liveable floor area shall be called the First Floor Area, and shall conform to the required minimum total floor area, except that the required First Floor Area may be reduced, to any further minimum as established and in proportion to an increase in total liveable floor area as set forth in the individual district regulations. 1. The individual district regulations may allow that a percentage of any such increase in total liveable floor area may be unfinished floor space capable under the Building Code or this Ordinance below of being finished to liveable floor area, provided such unfinished area is in the second story of a two story home as defined on the fold-out chart, (see 20.33.000.)

  • Identifying Robust Plans Through Plan Diagram Reduction
    Identifying Robust Plans through Plan Diagram Reduction ∗ Harish D. Pooja N. Darera Jayant R. Haritsa Database Systems Lab, SERC/CSA Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore 560012, INDIA ABSTRACT tary and conceptually different approach, which we consider in this Estimates of predicate selectivities by database query optimizers paper, is to identify robust plans that are relatively less sensitive to often differ significantly from those actually encountered during such selectivity errors. In a nutshell, to “aim for resistance, rather query execution, leading to poor plan choices and inflated response than cure”, by identifying plans that provide comparatively good times. In this paper, we investigate mitigating this problem by performance over large regions of the selectivity space. Such plan replacing selectivity error-sensitive plan choices with alternative choices are especially important for industrial workloads where plans that provide robust performance.

  • Axonometric Projection
    Axonometric Projection ARCH 1101 - Intro to Architecture Axonometric Projection Professor Christo Spring 2020 Semester AXONOMETRIC Axonometric projection is a type of orthographic projection used for creating a pictorial drawing of an object, where the lines of sight are perpendicular to the plane of projection, and the object is rotated around one or more of its axes to reveal multiple sides. Axonometric drawings do not have vanishing points as in a perspective drawing. Consequently, all lines on a common axis are draw as parallel. AXONOMETRIC ARCH 1101 - Intro to Architecture Axonometric Projection Professor Christo Spring 2020 Semester AXON BASICS We typically use either 45-45-90 degree or 30-60-90 degree projection. What is critical is that we maintain our 90 degree angle within the object we are projecting, and all angles add up to 180 degrees. This is convenient for us since we have 45-45-90 and 30-60-90 degree triangles.

    MFA 2020 Mandatory Design Standards for Multifamily Housing Part A The following Design Standards, including the MFA 2020 Submission Instructions for Preliminary Architectural Documentation for Multifamily Housing Applications, contained herein as Part B, represent the minimum requirements for New Mexico Mortgage Finance Authority (MFA) financed rental housing and are herewith incorporated by reference into MFA’s 2020 Qualified Allocation Plan (QAP). Capitalized terms are defined either herein or in the QAP. MFA values excellence in design because well designed housing meets the needs of tenants, attracts market tenants and promotes community acceptance of housing financed by MFA. All Projects shall meet or exceed each of these standards, as well as the minimum requirements of all applicable building codes (hereinafter referred to as “Code”), regulations, and local zoning ordinances. In addition, Projects shall meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Fair Housing Act (FHA) requirements as applicable. Depending on the funding sources and other partners’ requirements, the Project may also be subject to Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS) requirements. Projects receiving HOME funding must meet the property standards of 24 CFR 92.251. Projects receiving National Housing Trust Funds must meet the property standards of 24 CFR 93.301 (f) (1) and (2).The development team is responsible to know and meet all accessibility requirements for their Project. MFA will not be reviewing submissions with the intent to identify compliance with these various laws, codes, and ordinances governing the design of the projects. Should we find a discrepancy in a design that does not meet a law, code, or ordinance, we will, as a courtesy, inform the designer of our findings.
