a car's lifetime. When thinking about energy efficiency, the ultimate “green car”, the Prius, is actually one of the sources of the worse pollution in North America! (Demorro). The Toyota Prius, known as the most iconic “green” car, earns itself the most miles per gallon with the efficiency of using two engines, one of them being an electric. Controversially, the electric engine heavily relies on the use of “rare earth elements” which production comes almost exclusively from China. Alongside with
possible benefits that combining the elements of TNDs and TODs may have for at-risk populations. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this exploratory study is to demonstrate the use of green, affordable, housing as a way to provide at-risk populations with a community of their own but at the same time assisting them in establishing stability. I review current literature that explores affordable, green, and transit-oriented housing. I then highlight the examples of green affordable housing, transit-oriented
purpose of this essay is to discuss the ideas of two architects who have been considered as the pioneers of Modern architecture in Britain, Maxwell Fry and Jane Drew. These architects have implemented their concepts of modern architecture and its own elements, in the construction of Chandigarh, a new city in India, which is the capital of two states Punjab and Haryana. The Sir George Birdwood Memorial Lecture by Maxwell Fry and Jane Drew talked about the construction of modern India. They explain one
included in the plan. That is the first “Green Belt”. The city was divided into different areas like residential area, industry area and public area. A one mile-length traffic axle went across the public area and was connected to the railway station. By doing this, the industry area became the link between agriculture area and the city center. Although the planning was not centripetal, the basic theories are based on Garden City ideas. Besides the design principles of the Garden City, Howard also
schools that are focused on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). The STEM requirements allow for integral design of classroom and laboratory spaces. The actual building facility of HD Woodson Senior High School will be striving to achieve LEED Gold Certification upon completion under the LEED for Schools program by the US Green Building Council. Green Roof technology and highly reflective EPDM roofing membrane will assist in achieving critical LEED Points. An elaborate rain and

that coal plants emit more radiation into the environment than nuclear power plants. In fact, coal plants release 100 times more radiation than nuclear power plants (Hvistendahl). This is because within coal are trace amounts of the two radioactive elements uranium and thorium. When coal is burned it produces fly ash, which concentrates the uranium and thorium at up to 10 times their original levels (Hvistendahl). But the negatives of coal don’t need to be addressed
almost every element of the design comes back to your return on investment. In fact, the Rimac Concept One might just be the best hypercar on the planet! This car growls with more than four-wheel drive, and you have four-wheel torque to tweak the on-board computers and make your car over steer or under steer. Not only does it win the hearts of every tech geek, the Rimac Concept One screams down the pavement from zero to 60 in 2.8 seconds—don't blink. In addition, you will hit 125 miles per hour in
Conservation of energy and a preservation of the environment are popular and active topics in today’s political world. “According to Frost and Sullivan Transportation, fuel economy has risen to among the top three important factors for current vehicle purchase” (Brooke). Seeing a skyrocket in gasoline prices and an increase in vehicular pollution shows the need for change in how vehicles are designed. It is undeniably time to evolve beyond the status quo of the current gasoline driven automobiles
