Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design

Safety is a factor of our lives that is very rarely overlooked, instead, it is universally prioritized over many other necessities. Thus, when scandals concerning consumer safety air, the company must take caution in regaining the public 's favor to save face. Time is an integral factor of trust when a company cheats the public and the government, their public standing is negatively affected while the trust between the two parties repairs. However, if the company has publicly apologized for their

Hope for Conservation Efforts and a Sustainable Future The negative impacts of the industrial revolution have become apparent over the past decades from the rise of global temperatures due to greenhouse gas emissions and many other detrimental environmental crisis. Many individuals and governments are concerned with the growing negative impacts humans are having on the planet and are starting to become proactive by making changes to reduce consumption across the board from electricity to water. Most

The history of American housing is vast and in some areas complex, the Native Americans lived in harmony with the land and saw it as an extension of themselves and used it to their advantage when building shelter. Early settlers in the plains had to become resourceful in how they constructed their shelters. The industrial revolution gave raise to better, faster and more consistent materials. Mass influx of veterans coming home after World War II and a housing shortage brought a need for more housing

It could be financial, political, or literally natural disaster. While so, housing alone takes up major portion of total energy usage. According to United States’ Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), it accounted for 38.9 percent of total U.S. energy consumption in 2005. In year 2006 it took 72 percent of total U.S. electricity consumption and this number will rise to 75% by 2025. So it can be seen how change in managing housings can

Exhaustively discuss five ways in which an FM department can manage their energy/utilities bills. INTRODUCTION Managing energy/utility bills is one of the fact that the facility management department needs to address. For the past few years managing energy/utility bills has been a low priority for most corporations. But now the situation is different, most corporations pay more attention to their energy/utility bill costs just because energy cost estimated to over 20% of the average office building costs

with ready foods displayed to pick up & go. This influences our design direction to incorporate the green, life related aspect of brand through the counter as well as every element. The vibe at LIV is fresh & relaxed. One feels immediately comfortable to be in a place

way to encourage architects and investors to the adoption of sustainable building practices. Researches have been done on the LEED certification and other Green building certification’s price premium, cost-effectiveness, and environmental policies implications. The environmental regulatory policy has been a strong tool to promote LEED in the publicly owned buildings in the states with high socioeconomic status. This paper contributes to the implications of the states socioeconomic status’ relationship

Elastomeric Roof Coating | Commercial Roofing Dallas Green Benefits and Energy Savings An elastomeric roof coating provides commercial roofing in Dallas with a monolithic, fully adhered, fluid applied roofing membrane with the flexibility to expand and contract with temperature extremes and building movement without cracking or receiving other damage. In addition, it can be applied over any roofing substrate, and cures to form a completely seamless membrane sealing the entire roof, providing protection

them. This is where Industrial Systems Engineers can play a big role. Of course ISE’s can keep the manufacturing processes for these devices lean and in control; that holds true for almost all manufactured goods. But what can ISEs contribute to the design processes of these devices? The difference-maker for ISE’s with wearable technology is that they can oversee the human factors aspects of these devices. The same safety knowledge ISEs apply to workers in the manufacturing environment can be applied

The elevator maintenance system also adds to the efficiency and sustainability of the building. The energy and atmosphere category of the LEED rating guide recognizes smart controls and diagnostics as a feature of green infrastructure and the 1 WTC elevator maintenance systems satisfies this criterion. Using Microsoft’s Azure Intelligent Systems Service, real-time data and diagnostics are sent to service engineers to ensure optimal performance of the elevators and rapid diagnosis and resolution of
