Often an entire structural reassessment may be need to reach optimal temperature control for the workplace, To improve temperature control, insulation may be required to keep hot and cold air in and keep the outside temperature and humidity from affecting the workers inside. Air-conditioning is the solution of most workplaces to long, hot summers, but having windows that open can cut down on air-conditioning costs and enable workers to still work even when the temperature control system has been shut down. Having blinds to shield the light from hot windows, minimizing exposure to direct sunlight in general and providing ample water and cooling beverages can also help. If no internal cooling systems are available, allowing employees to take breaks or even to work different shifts (such as avoiding the hotter times of the day) can be valuable (Thermal comfort for office work, 2014, CCOHS). This may be necessary in outdoor working conditions when there is no temperature control -- such as limiting outdoor work time during the very hottest hours of the day from 11pm-3pm. (In some areas of the world, of course, particularly in the southern hemisphere, it is customary to take a nap or siesta during this time). Allowing desk fans and having celling fans can reduce energy costs of cooling on a permanent basis, in addition to artificial cooling.
Employers can help ensure thermal comfort when employees working in the cold not only through internal heating and isolation but by using large windows to bring more light and generate natural warmth. Insulating carpeting and permitting space heaters can also enhance warmth. In the case of situations in which there is no heating (such as during a prolonged power outage after a late season hurricane or storm), workers can be allowed to wear coats indoors and working hours can be rearranged so workers can come to work later when it is warmer...
Risk Crisis Disaster Management Managing the problems related to global warming is quite different than responding to a damaging earthquake albeit both strategies require careful planning and coordination. This paper points to the contrasts between the two ways of management and response, and offers suggestions from the literature on pre-planning for both eventualities. Managing Strategies for Serious Earthquakes To say that a major earthquake that hits in an urban area is an acute
Essay Topic Examples 1. The Mechanisms of Action of Local Hyperthermia in Cancer Treatment: This essay would explore the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which local hyperthermia acts as an adjunct therapy to enhance the efficacy of cancer treatments. Topics could include the disruption of the cell cycle, the induction of apoptosis, the impact on tumor microenvironment, and the enhancement of drug delivery through increased vascular permeability. 2. Advancements in Local Hyperthermia Technology
Glass Fa�adeIntroductionGlass is becoming an essential component of many facades. This material is easily shaped and installed, allowing for the creation of gripping and dominating structures. However, a contemporary construction must meet a number of criteria in addition to esthetic standards to create enough comfort within a structure. It is vital to imagine a structure with an �interactive� shell to improve occupant comfort by increasing the quality of interior space
Some of those are as follows: 1) Affect the environment; 2) Either save or expend energy; 3) Economically feasible or expensive to maintain, heat and cool. 4) Affect student learning; 5) Affect the health of students and teachers alike and 6) Affect the retention of teachers. (Olson and Carney, 2004) Criteria involved in the design, operation and maintenance of these 'sustainable' buildings are those as follows: Sustainable site planning and landscaping design that decrease the use
The last century has seen an increase in the level of international purchases which has been supported by the developments in transportation and technology. Goods can move faster than before with developments in logistics. The negotiation and forming contracts for purchase with companies and communicate with potential suppliers in distant countries is also easier than in the past with the internet and tools such as video conferencing and emails.
Green Building Laws Green Building and Green Retrofitting The department of Federal Environmental Executive defines green building like this: Elevating the competence by which the built structures consume energy, equipment and water along with decreasing the adverse effects on health of human beings including the surroundings by improved structure, maintenance, procedure, operation, choice of a better site and elimination of waste. The subsequent section explains the current guiding principles for retrofitting and
