The analysis considers the full cradle-to-gate carbon footprint of construction materials embedded in buildings.
As Von Moos says: "We wanted to show that, behind this facade of neoclassicism and historic revival, he really embedded his buildings in an understanding of the environment".
The typology of green open space being embedded in buildings could be a sensible design solution for land efficiency, microclimate optimization and positive use experience.
Networks of billions of nano-scale sensors can be embedded in buildings, agricultural fields and large-scale structures and connected to sustainable data centers to automatically provision energy resources.
This paper presents optimization of PCMs (phase change materials) enhanced buildings with integrated air-based solar PVT (photovoltaic thermal) collectors, where PCMs are embedded into building envelopes to increase local thermal mass, while the heated air from PVT collectors is directly used for space heating.
Lisa Hatchadoorian, director of the Westby Gallery, notes in the brochure that object lust, commodity status and family dreams are all embedded in building materials.
And replacing or recharging energy may be unavailable, especially when a sensor is embedded in building structures or inside human bodies.
Besides in a hazardous environment (e.g., in toxic environments) or for sensors embedded in building structures or inside human bodies, it is also impossible to replace the batteries periodically.
Zooming out from there, to take in the wider, "embedded, hobbyist, building a robot" community of Pi users — where Upton notes "Pi has been very strong" — well, those guys are clearly not going to have any trouble finding uses for the additional power that Pi 2 brings.
To this end, we develop a new technique, i.e. spectral clustering and its associated spectral embedding, building on our previously successful clustering based on the distance between the time series of bioluminescent expression in patches of tissue (Foley et al., 2011).
Radon is used as an example because it is a common pollutant embedded in the building materials of high-rise buildings in Hong Kong.
