Daylight Performance of Buildings by Marc Fontoynont Pdf
As part of Daylight Europe, the daylighting behaviour of 60 buildings was observed and measured during a three year period. Buildings of many different types, sizes and ages were included - from offices to museums, libraries, churches, houses, airports and factories; from Classical buildings to modern constructions, and from a small single room to an office of over 100,000 square meters. The results of the study of each building are presented, extensively illustrated in colour, with the unusual features and main lessons highlighted. The book also includes details of the monitoring procedures, the results of and comparisons with simulations, the outcome of post-occupancy evaluation, and a summary of the major findings. These show the extraordinary potential of daylighting techniques to improve amenity and energy performance for the benefit of the occupants and building managers. They also demonstrate how often opportunities are missed, and the frequency of problems of overheating or glare. Above all, they demonstrate the beauty, elegance and scope of daylight design.

A quirky novel of magic, mystery, and sisterhood, from “a highly original talent” (Beryl Bainbridge, author of Master Georgie). The Way sisters, Anna, Charlie, and Emz, were raised in two worlds. Their mother’s realm of reason, measurement, and logic, and the world inhabited by their spectacularly unconventional grandmother, Hettie. While their mother worked, the sisters ran wild at Hettie’s Cob Cottage, discovering forbidden Pike Lake, unknowable Havoc Wood, and what their grandmother referred to only as “The Strengths.” But time passed, the sisters grew up, work and relationships and their mother’s world won them over, and The Strengths lay forgotten . . . until Hettie passes away suddenly, leaving behind Cob Cottage and a whole lot of questions. Anna is busy trying very hard not to cry as she caters yet another wedding, Charlie is spending more time at the job she loves than with the boyfriend she’s not quite sure about, and Emz is dreaming up new ways to avoid school and the drama that comes with it. But can they deal with strange guests, unexpected danger, and some long-forgotten memories? “A born writer.” —Susan Hill, author of The Woman in Black

Brian “Bad” Phelan, New Zealander and bomb-disposal expert, likes to live dangerously. While on vacation on the French–Italian border, he helps bring a body out of a rocky, wave-swept cove. The dead woman bears striking similarities to a young woman he met years ago, under mysterious circumstances, shortly before she disappeared in a flooded French cave and Bad is compelled to investigate. Meanwhile, Jesuit Father Daniel Octave is running his own investigation into the truth behind the story of the life of the Blessed Martine Raimondi, a WWII resistance heroine and martyred nun. Bad and Daniel’s questions lead them to Eve, the beautiful widow of a celebrated French artist, and to Dawn, Eve’s twin sister, who seems to be a vampire. For, though they don’t know it, Bad and Daniel are looking for the same thing: a secret family. Sensuous and heavenly, Daylight combines wildly imaginative storytelling and a clear eye for atmosphere and place. Set on the beautiful Mediterranean coast stretching from Avignon to Genoa, much of the novel takes place in a world the tourist never sees, a world of caves and secret passages. It is in this “world beneath the world” that Bad Phelan and Daniel Octave finds themselves face to face with history and myth, with phantoms whose hearts are still beating, hungry, and able to break.
Introduction to Daylight saving time by Gilad James, PhD Pdf
Daylight saving time (DST) is a practice of adjusting the clocks forward an hour during the spring season and reversing it back during autumn. This alteration helps in utilizing the daylight hours more efficiently and reducing energy consumption during the evening. Daylight saving time is implemented in different countries across the world, with varying dates of implementation. Some countries also opt-out of this practice for various reasons, such as the detrimental effects on the human body due to the abrupt shift in the sleep cycle or the inconvenience caused by the constant change in the time zone. The idea of daylight saving time can be traced back to Benjamin Franklin, but the modern implementation of this practice began during the First World War. It was first introduced in Germany in 1916, and soon other European countries followed suit. The United States adopted this practice during the Second World War, and it was later standardized after the Uniform Time Act of 1966. However, the implementation and duration of daylight saving time have been subject to numerous debates and controversies, with many scientists and policymakers now questioning its effectiveness and benefits. In this book we discuss topics such as: Introduction: Brief history of Daylight Saving Time (DST), Purpose of DST, Controversy surrounding DST How DST Works: Setting our clocks forward and backward, Impact on natural light patterns, Benefits of DST, 1. Energy conservation, 2. Improved public safety, 3. Increased economic productivity, 4. Health benefits The Global Debate on DST: Countries that observe DST, Countries that do not observe DST, Reasons for differing policies on DST Impacts of DST: Agriculture and farming, Transportation, Tourism, Education, Health DST and Technology: Impact of DST on electronic devices, Time zones and international communication, The role of technology in DST policy Alternatives to DST: Permanent Standard Time, Double DST, Time Zone Changes Conclusion: Summary of the main points, Implications for future DST policy and Call to action for additional research. Quizzes are provided at the end of each section.
