With "The Woodwright's Companinon," Roy Underhill continues to
demonstrate "how to start with a tree and an axe and make one thing
after another until you have a house and everything in it." This
volume features chapters on helves and handles, saws, the search
for the whetstone quarry, crow chasers and turkey calls, hurdles,
whimmy diddles, snaplines and marking gauges, candle stands,
planes, window sash, riven shingles, and pit sawing. The final
chapter offers a glimpse of traditional woodworking techniques
still used by the Colonial Williamsburg housewrights. More than 260
photographs complement the text.
Throughout the world, there is an increasing demand on diminishing
natural resources in the industrial, transport, commercial, and
residential sectors. Of these, the residential sector uses the most
energy on such needs as lighting, water heating, air conditioning,
space heating, and refrigeration. This sector alone consumes
one-third of the total primary energy resources available. By using
green building and smart automation techniques, this demand for
energy resources can be lowered. Green Building Management and
Smart Automation is an essential scholarly publication that
provides an in-depth analysis of design technologies for green
building and highlights the smart automation technologies that help
in energy conservation, along with various performance metrics that
are necessary to facilitate a building to be known as a ""Green
Smart Building."" Featuring a range of topics such as environmental
quality, energy management, and big data analytics, this book is
ideal for researchers, engineers, policymakers, government
officials, architects, and students.
