Team Capitol DC outfitted its house with green powder-coated blinds that automatically open and close depending on the weather, moderating indoor conditions without the homeowner lifting a finger.
Uncertainties in the outdoor weather, building design/construction and indoor conditions are considered.
Finally, a sensitivity test is carried out to distinguish the significant factors that affect long-term thermal performance of living wall, including plant parameters, substrate parameters, structure layer parameters, indoor condition, weather parameters and irrigation frequency.
People spend about 90% of their lives indoors and tend to stay indoors during hot weather, so indoor temperature is of particular importance for preventing heat-related health effects (Chapman et al. 2009).
230 FIFTH The indoor lounge and, weather permitting, the vast rooftop bar, will open tomorrow evening: 230 Fifth Avenue (27th Street), (212) 72124300.
The £4.4m sponsorship deal with Unilever, has led to 13 commissions, including Bruce Nauman's soundscapes, Olafur Eliasson's huge, yellow, artificial indoor sun The Weather Project in 2003-04, which saw visitors stretch out on the floor of the vast space to bask in its glow, and Doris Salcedo's Shibboleth in 2007, which featured a crack running the length of the hall.
Like other similar codes, such as DOE-2, ESP-r or EnergyPlus, it simulates the thermal performance of buildings and plants according to the input data about building envelope, HVAC systems, indoor gains and weather.
Field notes were taken at 5-min intervals by two to three researchers who were stationed on different regions of the playground (for outdoor recess) and the gym (for indoor recess when weather was inclement).
The heterogeneity of these findings may be explained by the different characteristics of the study sites such as PM10 level, components of PM10, sensitivity of local residents to PM10, indoor air pollution, weather patterns [ 53, 54].
Provided it's good weather, indoor electrical items will work fine outdoors.
