Degree days and a dummy variable indicating location in the Mediterranean area were the strongest predictors of energy efficiency while taller and leaner buildings tended to be more energy efficient.
Many studies have been conducted on the fields of Building Information Modeling, Lean construction and Sustainability not only individually but also pairwise.
The results show that 60 key research areas, such as information systems, 3D modeling, design and sustainability and 10 key research clusters, such as architecture design studio, building information and lean construction, are extremely important for the development of BIM knowledge.
As more building simulationists play a decision-making role for the design team, they tend to lean on building energy standards and guidelines for preliminary inputs such as plug-load densities.
One day a fairy came back from an excursion and told of a ceremony held by mortals in a lean stone building which she had seen.
The house was turned from its original position facing the ocean to how it sits now, facing Main Street; the original leaded-glass casement windows were replaced with double-hung windows; and lean-to buildings were incorporated into the structure.
Life Sciences hardware can be a hard sell for some VCs, but the company has managed to remain lean (like building a freezer for $8K which Hodak told the Verge would have cost $400K retail) and, if it's able to follow through (even in part) with its mission to help change how research is done, has big implications.
Your metabolism raises for only a short time when you do cardio alone, but when you add lean muscle building, your body requires more calories to fuel them all day (and night) long.
Resistance training, weight training, can help both men and women stay lean by building muscle and raising metabolism for a constant passive benefit.
Seeing as how he needs to be light enough to swing from building to building, lean enough to fit in his body-hugging suit and flexible enough to crouch and flip at will, it seems that Spiderman's diet is one heavy in good fats and high in fiber and lean protein.
In the old town buildings lean back and forward, and are constantly cracking.
