R625 Discovery Miles 6 250 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Are you looking for creative ways to lower your energy costs, use renewable energy, generate more of your own power, or become less reliant on the grid? Energy expert Paul Scheckel offers practical advice for taking matters into your own hands. Understand the fundamentals of solar, wind, water, and biofuel energy production as you make your home ready for renewables. Each chapter of Homeowner's Energy Handbook provides a comprehensive discussion of renewable energy sources along with "green guides" for building your own energy-saving -- and energy-producing -- equipment. Step-by-step instructions show you how to build a bicycle-powered generator, a biodiesel processor, a thermosiphon solar hot-water collector, a biogas generator, a smokeless wood-gas camp stove, and more. Whether you want to button up your house to be more energy-efficient, find deep energy savings, or take your home entirely off the grid, this guide has the knowledge and skills you need to reduce your use, then produce

Indoor residential environments have a direct influence on human health, both in developed and developing countries. Significant levels of indoor pollution can make housing unsafe and can negatively impact on human health. Housing, therefore, is a key health factor for people all over the world, and various parameters such as air quality, ventilation, hygrothermal comfort, lighting, physical environment, building efficiency, and others can contribute to healthy architecture and the conditions that can result from the poor application of these parameters. Health and Well-Being Considerations in the Design of Indoor Environments addresses issues concerning indoor environmental quality (IEQ), including air quality and ventilation, access to daylight and views, acoustic conditions, and control over lighting and thermal comfort, as well as the impact that this environment can have on human health and mental well-being. The book also investigates the functional aspects of interior design such as whether the layout provides easy access to tools and sufficient space for occupants. It also considers energy demand and building energy losses due to such issues as air renovations and enclosure infiltrations. Covering topics such as sustainable design, pollution, building materials, and lighting, this book is an effective resource for students, professors, academicians, researchers, architects, designers, planners, engineers, interior designers, building managers, construction companies, and other industry professionals looking to increase building occupant satisfaction by considering all aspects of IEQ.

Diese Publikation befa t sich mit der Entwicklung einer Steuerung f}r die Freiformfl{chenbearbeitung mit der M-glichkeit, Bahnvorgaben in Parameterkoodinaten der Fl{chenbeschreibung zu interpolieren. Die damit verbundenen Vorteile sind der durchg{ngige Informationsflu f}r Geometriedaten, die Reduktion der NC-Datenmenge, die Flexibilit{t des Fr{sereinsatzes und die hohe Bearbeitungsgeschwindigkeit. Es wurde eine erweiterte NC-Programmierschnittstelle nach DIN 66025 zur Freiformfl{chenbearbeitung spezifiziert. Wesentlich dabei ist die Definitionvon beliebigen Fl{chenkurven als Fr{sbahn. Durch Verwendung der B-Spline-Kurvenapproximation werden alle in konventionellen Steuerungen vorkommenden Bahnen in einer einheitlichen Polynomform f}r die Sollwerterzeugung dargestellt. Ein darauf basierendes Einschrittverfahren zur allgemeinen Polynominterpolation wurde entwickelt. Die neuen Interpolationsverfahren und -strukturen f}r die Freiformfl{chenbearbeitung zeigen, da nur durch Spline-Generierung sowohl f}r die Bahn als auch f}r die Orientierung eine hohe Bahngenauigkeit zu gew{hrleisten ist. Aus den gewonnenen Ergebnissen wurde die Struktur einer fl{chenorientierten Steuerdatenaufbereitung in der Steuerung festgelegt.
