The document discusses green intelligent buildings and focuses on energy. It addresses topics like global warming, renewable energy sources, air conditioning, and how environmental design affects human well-being. It provides data on issues like rising global temperatures, increasing carbon emissions, and the growth of renewable technologies. It also examines how building design can incorporate natural ventilation, daylighting, and greenery to reduce energy usage while improving occupant health and productivity.

Wong, Hiroshi, Physics World, Vol 18 No 9 Sep 05
In the last 40 years the number of transistors that can be integrated onto a single silicon
chip contributes to Moore's law. The level of integration will depend on our ability to
interconnect transistors on the giga scale.

39. Rules of Thumb for Solar
Design
Form •create sun spaces, lighting ducts, light shelves
Orientation: •main glazing to face 30 degrees either side of due south
•reduce north glazing
•minimise tree over-shadowing
•on housing estates build to a density of < 40 properties/ha
•design atriums/roof lighting in accordance with the position of the
sun in both summer and winter
Fabric:
•fabric transmission losses may be reduced by improving insulation or
by reducing the mean inside air temperature.
