Dhar, Tanvi. "Comparing Environmental Performance and Indoor Comfort of LEED(TM) certified and Conventional Schools in Houston, Texas." Thesis, University of Oregon, 2016. http://hdl.handle.net/1794/20510.

Abstract:

LEED(TM) for schools was introduced in response to research that showed the influence of classroom environment on energy savings and students’ performance. There is however a need to investigate the relationship between credits achieved by the LEED(TM) for schools rating system and its impact on building performance. This study quantifies and analyzes resource consumption and indoor comfort of two LEED(TM) certified elementary schools in Houston, Texas by comparing them to their conventional counterparts. Year-long metered data for 2015 was analyzed for resource consumption.

Abstract:

La maggior parte dei musei italiani è allestita all'interno di edifici storici che non nascono per questa destinazione d'uso. Le sale espositive risultano quindi non ottimali per il comfort acustico. Nei casi di elevata affluenza questo può arrivare ad influenzare la qualità della fruizione. Si è quindi provveduto a qualificare l'acustica di una sala espositiva e a monitorarne l'attività antropica, che è la principale sorgente di rumore. Il caso studio è il Salone del Nicchio, la prima sala espositiva del Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Firenze, situato all'interno del seicentesco Palazzo dell

Abstract:

Consequences of human activity in natural environments can be observed in urban phenomena. Urban Heat Island is one of those consequences, it is characterized by higher temperature levels in surface-cover and air in urban centers compared with its surrounding rural areas. UHIs are present in cities of arid ecosystems such as Phoenix and Tucson. Existing urban development trends contribute to UHI episodes. Urban Agriculture (UA) is an emerging environmental strategy and, contrary to traditional and industrial agricultural methods, UA systems provide the option of not using soil, its geometrical

Abstract:

Dagsljus i byggnader är viktigt för både den fysiska och psykiska hälsan. Dagsljusinsläpp i byggnader sker genom fönster, men fönster är även den byggnadskomponent som medför störst energiförluster i en byggnad. Därför finns det problem i att skapa en god balans mellan utformning, energieffektivisering och termisk komfort samtidigt som ett tillfredsställande dagsljus ska tillämpas i byggnader där människor vistas. Detta examensarbete som omfattar 15 hp syftar till att effektivisera samt förenkla bedömningen av ett tillfredsställande dagsljus, för att uppnå kraven i miljöcertifieringsmetoden Mi

Abstract:

Limited information is available on clergy's comfort and attitudes toward sexual issues and the factors that shape those attitudes in Australia. This exploratory quantitative study is an attempt to fill this gap in the literature. The research is based on two cross-sectional studies, in which structured questionnaires were used to collect socio-demographic data and to identify clergy’s comfort toward sexuality discussions and their attitudes toward sexuality-related topics. Study 1 involved primary data collection of comfort, attitudes toward sexuality and education and training in sexuality

The local climate of Malaysia with high air temperature and relative humidity and inconsistent air movement throughout the day provides challenges for architects and designers to design a building including a mosque that can provide better indoor thermal condition. Thermally uncomfortable indoor environment in a typical Malaysian mosque can be sensed due to the poor attendance of believers during communal prayers conducted five times a day at the mosque. A study was carried out in four typical mosques in Malaysia to investigate the thermal comfort level together with what and how the thermal c

An ergonomic driver workspace and interface design is essential to ensure a healthier and comfortable driving experience in terms of driver perceptions, postures, and interface pressures. Developing more effective methods for driver-side interior design and evaluation, hence, requires thorough investigation of: 1) which perceptual responses are more relevant to ensuring ergonomic quality of a design, 2) the interrelationships among perceptual responses and objective measures, and 3) whether current assumptions regarding driver behaviors, and tools for specifying these behaviors, are valid for

碩士<br>華梵大學<br>工業設計系碩士班<br>95<br>In this study, emphasis is placed upon the underlying factors that will make a product form look or feel right from the eyes of consumers. The purpose of this study is doublefold: (1) to explore the mechanisms that will affect people’s visual comfort in perceiving product forms and to compare such mechanisms with aesthetic principles in Gestalt theory and form compostion; (2) to investigate the interrelationships between the form features and visual comfort of product form perception as well as those between form features and the above-mentioned mechanisms.

Abstract:

This thesis explores home energy management (HEM), an emerging field for interface design and sustainability. Section 1 introduces HEM’s broader context. In Section 2, I review the literature surrounding HEM. Section 3 outlines the usability study on the ecobee Smart Thermostat, to evaluate the technology’s ease-of-use, and better understand users’ experience with current HEM technology. Section 4 describes a “Critical Making” workshop, where participants investigated HEM through material interaction and discussion. Section 5 describes and evaluates the potential design spaces gleaned from pre
