Architectural design is often associated with aesthetics and style, but it also very important to building performance sustainability. There are some studies associating architectural the choice for materials from sustainable sources, indoor air quality, energy efficiency productivity. This article takes a step further analyse how use of efficient interior techniques can impact habitable space in order improve sustainability land use. Smart design, current trend related flexible furniture...
This paper presents a novel lab-on-a-chip (LOC) device for seawater pH quantification based on spectrophotometric methods. The integrates optical, electronics and microfluidic systems, providing an autonomous, compact portable platform in-situ, long-term low-cost measurements. developed system was validated in laboratory with measurement of various samples, different pH, within the interval (7.50-8.30). response LOC shows high reproducibility stability resolution 0.01 units. Thus, has...
Nowadays cities are facing several environmental problems due to the population migration urban areas, which is causing sprawl. This way, it very important define solutions improve Land Use Efficiency (LUE). article proposes use of community buildings features as a solution increase land efficiency. Community cons ider design shared building spaces reduce floor area buildings. work tests performance some case-study regarding LUE analyse its possible pros and cons. A quantifiable method used...
