no significant difference between the price of normal homes and zero carbon homes. It is believed that green buildings are considered to be expensive as usually all kind of new modern building methods tend to be more expensive, according to my questionnaire this is also true. I noticed that 60% of the people I interviewed thought that zero carbon homes were to be ridiculously expensive. However, it would be beneficial to have a zero carbon home as the increased initial costs offset the decreased

for the global citizens due to the use of fossil fuel and other pollutions, which contribute an estimated 70% of the world’s energy-related greenhouse gases (Jiang, W., Pitts, A. and Gao, Y., 2016). The design strategy for energy-efficient buildings is based on climate analysis, the main benchmark to define criteria design, in order to reduce the usage of non-renewable energy (Boeri, A. & Longo, D.2010). Sustainability can be defined as: ‘the physical development and institutional operating practices

The U.S. military has a goal to achieve 25 percent renewable energy by the year 2025. Fort Drum, NY has one of the world’s largest solar installations which currently heats the entire base (Lowman, 2011). The U.S. army and the U.S. Navy have both kicked off net zero programs which is aimed at reducing not only energy use on bases and also on water use and waste. The U.S. Navy is aiming for half of its bases to have net zero energy consumption by 2020. The Army is planning to install rooftop solar

With global warming, the world's attention on building energy efficiency is increasing. There are a large proportion of architects recognised that the main factor of global warming is the use of building energy generated by CO2. Sustainable architecture is involving methods that do not completely use up or destroy natural resources. There are several major elements need to be considered, such as technology, economy and Health . However, architects pay their greatest attention to environment. Because

Healthy Buildings According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), “[more] than one-third (36.5%) of U.S. adults have obesity. Obesity-related conditions include heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer… The estimated annual medical cost of obesity in the U.S. was $147 billion in 2008 U.S. dollars; the medical costs for people who are obese were $1,429 higher than those of normal weight,” (“Adult Obesity,” 2016). Forecasts demonstrate obesity prevalence

way. Thus, leading to exploration of the different forms, of technology and materials used. Further developing my research on how culture, or time, might have affected, what or why, the building might have been constructed in a certain way, and also how the location might have affected the designs, of the buildings. Thomas Herzog was born in 1941, In Germany. Where in 1965, he completed his diploma for architecture at the Technische Universität München (University of München) and in 1973 he became

Communicating about sustainability serves two purposes: first, to make the target audience aware of how the products offered will meet their needs while also addressing economic, social and environmental issues, and secondly, to allow a dialogue between stakeholders about the company as a whole (Belz and Peattie, 2012). However, while the purpose of communicating about sustainability is clear, the specific communication strategies to employ are less certain. The following studies set out to examine

Did your bulging belly take some of your confidence? Have you envied a friend because she looks good in a fashionable dress and you don’t? Do you have to give away your most favorite trousers because they do not fit you anymore? Belly fat is really a nuisance. Bad thing is, it goes with age as our metabolism slows down. Good news is that there are proven exercise routine to keep the flab off! There may have been alternative ways to lose weight but nobody has still fully refuted the effect of aerobic
