However, when you consider the embodied energy in demolished buildings and the implications of material disposal, the fact that wood is adaptable—either through renovation or deconstruction and reuse (with minimal additional processing)—is a significant advantage. MASTERING WOOD CONSTRUCTION DESIGN As with any other type of construction, mastering the technical details of wood-frame construction is critical to creating cost- effective buildings that are safe and durable.

Wood allows us to do that quickly and affordably.” gLJ did a quick analysis and found that wood framing was the most cost-effective option. Prefabricating part of the project off-site—another trend—brought the costs down further, saving 1-2 months of construction time and a few hundred thousand dollars.

    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.

  • Townhouse Or Two-Family Dwelling?
    TWO-FAMILY DWELLING, TWO-UNIT TOWNHOUSE and TOWNHOUSE BUILDINGS and the 2020 MINNESOTA RESIDENTIAL CODE Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry DEFINITIONS A two-family dwelling (IRC-2 occupancy) is: • A building containing two separate dwelling units. • The separation between units is either horizontal or vertical. • Both units are on one lot. • Sometimes referred to as “duplexes.” A townhouse (IRC-3 occupancy) is: • A single-family dwelling unit constructed in a group of two or more attached dwelling units. • Each unit is a separate building and extends from the foundation to the roof with open space on at least two sides of each unit. • Each unit is provided with separate building service utilities required by other chapters of the State Building Code. • A two-unit townhouse is sometimes referred to as a “twin-home.” DISTINCTION The primary differences between a two-family dwelling and a two-unit townhouse or twin-home: • Property – A two-unit townhouse or twin-home is typically located on two separate individual lots with a property line running between them whereas both units of a two-family dwelling, or “duplex,” are located on the same single lot. • Separation – A two-unit townhouse must be separated from the foundation to the roof by a double wall (two one-hour walls, see exceptions below). The separation between units in a two-family dwelling can be provided by single one-hour fire-resistance-rated assembly that is horizontal or vertical. • Services – Since each townhouse unit is a separate building, each townhouse unit must be supplied with separate utilities. Units classified as townhouses must be supplied by separate electrical services.

  • Evaluating Skyscraper Design and Construction Technologies on an International Basis
    EVALUATING SKYSCRAPER DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGIES ON AN INTERNATIONAL BASIS by Saad Allah Fathy Abo Moslim B.Sc., Mansoura University, Egypt, 1984 M.Eng., The University of British Columbia, Canada, 2000 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Civil Engineering) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) November 2017 © Saad Allah Fathy Abo Moslim, 2017 Abstract Design and construction functions of skyscrapers tend to draw from the best practices and technologies available worldwide in order to meet their development, design, construction, and performance challenges. Given the availability of many alternative solutions for different facets of a building’s design and construction systems, the need exists for an evaluation framework that is comprehensive in scope, transparent as to the basis for decisions made, reliable in result, and practical in application. Findings from the literature reviewed combined with a deep understanding of the evaluation process of skyscraper systems were used to identify the components and their properties of such a framework, with emphasis on selection of categories, perspectives, criteria, and sub-criteria, completeness of these categories and perspectives, and clarity in the language, expression and level of detail used. The developed framework divided the evaluation process for candidate solutions into the application of three integrated filters. The first filter screens alternative solutions using two-comprehensive checklists of stakeholder acceptance and local feasibility criteria/sub-criteria on a pass-fail basis to eliminate the solutions that do not fit with local cultural norms, delivery capabilities, etc. The second filter treats criteria related to design, quality, production, logistics, installation, and in-use perspectives for assessing the technical performance of the first filter survivors in order to rank them.

A permit is not required for replacement of plumbing fixtures (sink or toilet) in the same location. Plans shall be required if walls are removed, added, altered, and/or if any fixtures are removed, added or relocated. All requirements shall in conformance to the currently adopted codes. THINGS TO KNOW: □ A Building Permit may be issued only to a State of California Licensed Contractor or the Homeowner. If the Homeowner hires workers, State Law requires the Homeowner to obtain Worker’s Compensation Insurance. □ When a permit is required for an alteration, repair or addition exceeding one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) to an existing dwelling unit that has an attached garage or fuel-burning appliance, the dwelling unit shall be provided with a Smoke Alarm and Carbon Monoxide Alarm in accordance with the currently adopted code. □ WATER EFFICIENT PLUMBING FIXTURES (CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE 1101.4(A)): The California Civil Code requires that all existing non-compliant plumbing fixtures (based on water efficiency) throughout the house be upgraded whenever a building permit is issued for remodeling of a residence.
