    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.

  • Techniques of Pouring a Basement Floor
    www.spinscreed.com Techniques for pouring a basement floor using the Spin Screed: In my own construction business, I have used the Spin Screed on countless basement floors in order to produce a floor that is flatter than any other screeding operations that I have tested. The floor is flatter and we are able to pour it faster with less manpower and less work than other methods. Below is a description of the method that I use to pour a basement floor using a total of four men: two rakers, a dead end man, and a live end man. Figure 1: Rope-Quick North Coupling Adapter 60 ft. Wall Line 1 Screed Bar--1/4” x 2” x 20’. We recommend the use of the Float Section A Fill Screed Support System. West East Line 2 30 ft. Wall Section B Live End Spin Motor Basement Wall 30 ft. by 60 ft. Line 3 South We begin by preparing the sub grade and establishing the elevation of the finished floor. Once this has been ac- complished, we snap a red chalk line along the interior wall of the foundation at the level of the finished basement floor. We set Float Fill supports five feet apart along line 1, line 2 and line 3 as shown in Fig. 1. The stakes in line 1 and line 3 are placed about 18 inches from the basement wall. The stakes in line 2 are placed in the center of the foundation. In the example shown, the foundation is 30 feet by 60 feet.

    Portico 511 500 Series Mic Pre with Silk By: Serial #: Operations Manual PORTICO 511 MIC PRE WITH SILK Thank you for your purchase of the 511: 500 Series Mic Pre with Silk. Everyone at Rupert Neve Designs hope you enjoy using this tool as much as we have enjoyed designing and building it. Please take note of the following list of safety concerns and power requirements before the use of this or any Portico Series product. SAFETY It’s usual to provide a list of “do’s and don’ts” under this heading but mostly these amount to common sense issues. However here are some reminders: Don’t operate your Portico™ module in or around water! Electronic equipment and liquids are not good friends. If any liquid is spilled such as soda, coffee, alcoholic or other drink, the sugars and acids will have a very detrimental effect. Sugar crystals act like little rectifiers and can produce noise (crackles, etc.). SWITCH OFF IMMEDIATELY because once current starts to flow, the mixture hardens, can get very hot (burnt toffee!) and cause permanent and costly damage. Please contact support as soon as possible at [email protected] for resolution. 1) Read these instructions. 2) Keep these instructions. 3) Heed all warnings. 4) Follow all instructions. 5) Do not use this apparatus near water. 6) Clean only with dry cloth. 7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. 8) Do not install near any heat source such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
