DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe manual discusses radiation shielding as it applies to the preliminary designing of protection against fallout gamma radiation in new construction. The architectural principles of shielding are discussed at length and designing examples are given. Planning charts are presented whereby material weights can be selected on a preliminary basis to provide shielding which will satisfy the Office of Civil Defense requirements for Community Shelters. Environmental control, shelter supply, and management factors are not discussed as they are auxiliary to the problem of the provision of radiation protection. It is anticipated that the preliminary architectural schemes developed through the use of this manual will be verified by skilled analysts before final designs are completed. (Author).

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHow is an energy efficient building created? Which are the most important criteria pertaining to urban development or the conception of the floor plan? What are the optimal dimensions appropriate for the building’s usage but also ensuring energy efficiency? Which building elements and systems are most suitable? This book systematically explains all relevant criteria and parameters as regards urban development, design and the subsequent construction of a sustainable building. The immense potential for cutting costs by modernising the energy systems in old buildings is also demonstrated.Completed projects are presented according to their usage and are analysed and evaluated in the light of the above criteria. For this purpose extensive plans and technical information are used to illustrate the "energy profile" of each building. This shows the particular importance of planning details carefully. An annotated subject index concludes the volume.
