    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.

  • Trends and Challenges in Brownfield Revitalization: a Gis Based Approach
    XVII International Scientific Conference on Industrial Systems (IS'17) Novi Sad, Serbia, October 4. – 6. 2017. University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Technical Sciences, Department for Industrial Engineering and Management Available online at http://www.iim.ftn.uns.ac.rs/is17 TRENDS AND CHALLENGES IN BROWNFIELD REVITALIZATION: A GIS BASED APPROACH Jelena Ignjatić (Urban and Spatial Planning Institute of Vojvodina, Železnička 6/III, Novi Sad, 21000 Serbia, [email protected]) Bojana Nikolić (University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Technical Sciences, Trg Dositeja Obradovića 6, 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia, [email protected]) Aeksandar Rikalović (University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Technical Sciences, Trg Dositeja Obradovića 6, 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia, [email protected]) Abstract Brownfield sites have negative effects on the spatial, economic, environmental and social aspects of community life. During the past decades, examples of good practice around the world showed that the revitalization of brownfields contributed to material and non-material prosperity, and the realization of a sustainable economic and social development. Once large corporations, who represented the foundation of economic development of Vojvodina, Serbia, are now mainly devastated and powerless to independently find a solution for revitalization. Investors are faced with the problem of non-defined, disorganized and unregulated locations, but primarily with the lack of associated database, which would shorten the process of selecting the most suitable location. To activate brownfield sites, it is necessary to pinpoint these locations, and conduct a detailed analysis. When it comes to trends in revitalization of brownfields in the practice of other countries, the use of geographic information systems (GIS) has proven to be one of the most effective tools for visualization of attributes of the brownfields in terms of socio-economic factors, the environment, and the immediate surrounding of the location.

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-74583-3 - Structural Geology: An Introduction to Geometrical Techniques, Fourth Edition Donal M. Ragan Frontmatter More information STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY An Introduction to Geometrical Techniques fourth edition Many textbooks describe information and theories about the Earth without training students to utilize real data to answer basic geological questions. This volume – a combi- nation of text and lab book – presents an entirely different approach to structural geology. Designed for undergraduate laboratory classes, it is dedicated to helping students solve many of the geometrical problems that arise from field observations. The basic approach is to supply step-by-step instructions to guide students through the methods, which include well-established techniques as well as more cutting-edge approaches. Particular emphasis is given to graphical methods and visualization techniques, intended to support students in tackling traditionally challenging two- and three-dimensional problems. Exer- cises at the end of each chapter provide students with practice in using the techniques, and demonstrate how observations and measurements from the field can be converted into useful information about geological structures and the processes responsible for creating them. Building on the success of previous editions, this fourth edition has been brought fully up-to-date and incorporates new material on stress, deformation, strain and flow. Also new to this edition are a chapter on the underlying mathematics and discussions of uncertainties associated with particular types of measurement. With stereonet plots and full solutions to the exercises available online at www.cambridge.org/ragan, this book is a key resource for undergraduate students as well as more advanced students and researchers wanting to improve their practical skills in structural geology.

    An Investigation of Display Shapes and Projections for Supporting Spatial Visualization Using a Virtual Overhead Map by Catherine Solis A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science Graduate Department of Mechanical & Industrial Engineering University of Toronto c Copyright 2020 by Catherine Solis Abstract An Investigation of Display Shapes and Projections for Supporting Spatial Visualization Using a Virtual Overhead Map Catherine Solis Master of Applied Science Graduate Department of Mechanical & Industrial Engineering University of Toronto 2020 A novel map display paradigm named \SkyMap" has been introduced to reduce the cognitive effort associated with using map displays for wayfinding and navigation activities. Proposed benefits include its overhead position, large scale, and alignment with the mapped environment below. This thesis investigates the substantiation of these benefits by comparing a conventional heads-down display to flat and domed SkyMap implementations through a spatial visualization task. A within-subjects study was conducted in a virtual reality simulation of an urban environment, in which participants indicated on a map display the perceived location of a landmark seen in their environment. The results showed that accuracy at this task was greater with a flat SkyMap, and domes with stereographic and equidistant projections, than with a heads-down map. These findings confirm the proposed benefits of SkyMap, yield important design implications, and inform future research. ii Acknowledgements Firstly, I'd like to thank my supervisor Paul Milgram for his patience and guidance over these past two and a half years. I genuinely marvel at his capacity to consistently challenge me to improve as a scholar and yet simultaneously show nothing but the utmost confidence in my abilities.

  • 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.
