The architect or building engineer prepares a list of refurbishment works required on the basis of the building audit, his experience and the available budget.
Their performance was evaluated on the basis of the building's total energy demand, its energy demand for heating, cooling and lighting, and also its daylight factors.
A large volume of huge and complex buildings are being constructed in many cities, especially in the Far East Asia, The conventional regulatory control of building design on the basis of prescriptive building and fire safety codes and regulations may not facilitate the building designers to compile an innovative design.
Based on the best actual available knowledge of climate change models, the effect of climate change implies a change of −0.8% to +2.3% in the hourly mean wind speed with return period of 50 years, which is the basis of current building codes.
This is the basis of all character building and I will explain why later.
Additionally we thank all members of the DFNS in building up the basis of this study by patient recruitment and assessment.
This observation is at the basis of building by comparison, one of the most successful methods for computing the 3D structure of a protein sequence when a template is found with a sequence similarity search against the Protein Data Bank (PDB) (11).
Therefore, when properly designed, they can contribute to minimizing the overall energy demand of buildings, allowing achievement of the high energy performance that is the basis of the Nearly Zero Energy Building (NZEB) concept.
In a BIM environment, planning and construction decisions are increasingly made on the basis of a virtual building model which comprises geometric as well as semantic data.
In this study a weighting system is developed to form the basis of building energy efficiency assessment tool for Ghana.
