New Delhi PRELUDE Building Bye-Laws are legal tools used to regulate coverage, height, building bulk, and architectural design and construction aspects of buildings so as to achieve orderly development of an area. They are mandatory in nature and serve to protect buildings against fire, earthquake, noise, structural failures and other hazards. In India, there are still many small and medium sized towns which do not have building bye-laws and in the absence of any regulatory mechanism, such towns are confronted with excessive coverage, encroachment and haphazard development resulting in chaotic conditions, inconvenience for the users, and disregard for building aesthetics, etc.

  • Conserving Georgian and Victorian Terraced Housing a Guide to Managing Change Summary
    Conserving Georgian and Victorian terraced housing A guide to managing change Summary This guide is for local authorities, owners and others involved in the conservation of Georgian and Victorian / early 20th century terraced housing. It gives a historic overview of terraced housing and identifies important features of different types of terrace. It will help local authorities and others implementing historic environment legislation and policy. It will also help those planning to make changes to terraced housing to understand their buildings and what is special about them. It identifies issues to consider for those wishing to make alterations and it provides helpful information for making planning applications.

  • Thermal Performance of Single-Story Air-Welled Terraced House in Malaysia: a Field Measurement Approach
    sustainability Article Thermal Performance of Single-Story Air-Welled Terraced House in Malaysia: A Field Measurement Approach Pau Chung Leng 1,* , Gabriel Hoh Teck Ling 1 , Mohd Hamdan Ahmad 1, Dilshan Remaz Ossen 2, Eeydzah Aminudin 3, Weng Howe Chan 4 and Dg Normaswanna Tawasil 3 1 Faculty of Built Environment & Surveying, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Johor 81300, Malaysia; [email protected] (G.H.T.L.); [email protected] (M.H.A.) 2 Department of Architecture Engineering, Kingdom University, Riffa 40434, Bahrain; [email protected] 3 School of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University Teknologi Malaysia, Johor 81300, Malaysia; [email protected] (E.A.); [email protected] (D.N.T.) 4 School of Computing, Faculty of Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Johor 81300, Malaysia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +60-7-553-7389 Abstract: The provision requirement of 10% openings of the total floor area stated in the Uniform Building By-Law 1984 Malaysia is essential for natural lighting and ventilation purposes. However, focusing on natural ventilation, the effectiveness of thermal performance in landed residential buildings has never been empirically measured and proven, as most of the research emphasized simulation modeling lacking sufficient empirical validation. Therefore, this paper drawing on field measurement investigates natural ventilation performance in terraced housing with an air-well system. The key concern as to what extent the current air-well system serving as a ventilator is effective to provide better thermal performance is to be addressed. By adopting an existing single-story air-welled terrace house, indoor environmental conditions and thermal performance were monitored and measured using HOBO U12 air temperature and humidity, the HOBO U12 Citation: Leng, P.C.; Hoh Teck Ling, anemometer, and the Delta Ohm HD32.3 Wet Bulb Globe Temperature meter for a six-month duration.
