How are Commercial spaces Designed - Retail Design dezyneecole
Retail design is a complex field that combines architecture, interior design, product design, and other disciplines. It must respond to constant changes in consumer demands and trends. The role of the retail designer is to develop store interiors that communicate the brand and encourage shopping using principles of psychology, technology, and ergonomics. Design thinking, with its holistic and user-centered approach, is important in retail to create innovative store environments and experiences that seduce customers into purchasing. As power has shifted to consumers, branding has become a critical tool in retail design to differentiate products in the marketplace.

Requirements include a minimum distance between exits of half the building diagonal, no more than 20 foot dead-end corridors, and maximum travel distances depending on building occupancy and path of egress. Exit components like stairways must have fire-rated enclosures and doors.
Here are the key points about the evolution of branding:
- The earliest branding examples date back to the 1880s when logos began appearing on packaged food products. Branding initially involved catchphrases or images attached to products.
- It wasn't until the late 1940s that organizations began describing their business and function through advertising rather than just products. This is when the term "brand identity" became mainstream in corporate language.
- Branding really took off in the 1980s following a recession. Production could now be moved overseas more cheaply. Manufacturing processes were replaced by developing the brand essence as the core business strategy.
- In the 1990s, big brands favored cutting prices over spending on advertising due to the market

The document considers a range of perspectives on both natural and human influences on the climate.
The year 2014 tied with 2010 as the warmest year on record for the last century. The melting of Greenland, mountain glaciers, and thermal expansion is raising sea levels four times faster than in 1900. Sea level rises of 2 to 6 feet are predicted by the end of the century. Flood highs from hurricanes Sandy and Katrina were ~ 10 feet.
The article “Treading Water” in the February 2015 "National Geographic" tells how Dutch Docklands LLC sees profit not loss from rising sea levels. They are building floating homes in Miami, FL. A floating classroom could assure ASPEC’s long-term future. It would provide a place to meet in the event of flooding by the 10-foot ocean surges that accompany hurricanes.
Dr. Carr describes how increasing greenhouse gases, mostly carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels, trap the radiation that is warming our planet. Advances in non-carbon emitting energy sources can reduce global warming. Solar PV panels are now generating electricity at $0.07/kWhr, less than the national utility average of $0.12kWhr. Rising sea levels are a better measure of global warming than atmospheric temperature, as 90% of our planet’s heat content is in our oceans.

This document discusses the history of climate change and evidence that recent global warming is being caused by human greenhouse gas emissions. It summarizes the temperature record of the past 2000 years and evidence from ice cores and other paleoclimate proxies that recent warming is unprecedented. Melting glaciers and rising sea levels provide evidence that warming is having impacts. Continued warming has the potential to significantly affect wildlife, cause more extreme weather events, and lead to temperature increases of several degrees Celsius by 2100.
Global warming is caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The main cause is carbon dioxide released from burning fossil fuels. This excess carbon dioxide and other gases are trapping heat in the lower atmosphere and causing the planet to warm up. Evidence of global warming includes rising temperatures, melting glaciers and ice sheets, rising sea levels, and more extreme weather events. If warming continues unchecked, it could cause catastrophic effects like mass extinction of species and displacement of coastal populations due to rising seas.
Climate Change: The Evidence and Our Optionsokiregional
This document summarizes the research of the Ice Core Paleoclimate Research Group at Ohio State University. The group studies ice cores from around the world to understand past climate changes. It receives funding from various organizations. Ice cores provide evidence that some glaciers are currently smaller than they have been in the past 6,000 years and that recent warming is unprecedented over the last 1,000 years. The document discusses both natural and human factors that influence the climate and presents evidence that recent warming is not caused by changes in the sun's output but rather by increasing greenhouse gases from human activities.

The document discusses the history of how global climate change became framed as an issue. It traces ideas from the 1820s about the greenhouse effect to modern events like the Kyoto Protocol and Paris Agreement. Key developments included establishing the Keeling Curve in 1958, Hansen's 1988 congressional testimony, and formation of the IPCC in 1989. Climate change became increasingly politicized over debates around economic costs, conservative ideology, and uncertainty about impacts. Different groups have framed the issue through these lenses to influence public views on climate policy.
This document discusses the science of climate change and its impacts. It provides evidence that the climate has fluctuated naturally in the past but is now changing due to human activity like burning fossil fuels. This is increasing greenhouse gases and global temperatures, causing sea ice and glaciers to melt, sea levels to rise, and more extreme weather. If emissions are not reduced, significant global impacts are projected this century like worse droughts and storms, flooded coastlines, and threatened ecosystems and food supplies.
The document discusses climate change and its causes, impacts, and potential solutions. It describes climate change as one of the most difficult scientific problems that draws on many disciplines. It also notes that climate science predictions require understanding economics, politics, and human psychology. The document then provides details on the composition and layers of the atmosphere, greenhouse gases, and factors that influence Earth's climate such as solar activity, volcanic eruptions, and orbital variations. It discusses evidence of past climate change from ice cores and sediments and compares current warming rates to natural rates. The document also summarizes climate modeling results showing risks of increased temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, extreme weather, and sea level rise by 2100 under emissions scenarios. Adaptation strategies discussed include urban

A very good, and important talk to listen to. Recorded November 2009, a month before the COP-15 Climate Conference in Copenhagen. Please note this lecture is copyright Centre for Alternative Technology (http://www.cat.org.uk)
This document discusses global warming, including its definition, causes, evidence, and potential consequences. It provides the following key points:
- Global warming is defined as an increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere due to an increase in greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane from human activities.
- Evidence of global warming includes increasing global temperatures over the past 150 years, rising greenhouse gas levels measured in ice cores dating back 800,000 years, and effects like more extreme weather events, melting glaciers and sea ice, and shifting climate zones.
- The main cause of increased greenhouse gases is human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation. Simple individual actions like reducing energy use and planting trees can help
Climate change, Adaptation and Farmers perception solomonadd
This document summarizes a presentation on climate change, adaptation, and farmers' perceptions in Bahir Dar Zuria District, Ethiopia. It provides evidence of climate change globally and in Ethiopia through increasing temperatures, rising CO2 levels, shrinking glaciers and ice caps, and more frequent droughts. Analysis of climate trends in the district show increasing maximum temperatures, increasing minimum temperatures, and decreasing rainfall. Farmers reported perceptions of increased temperatures, decreased and late rainfall. While farmers are adapting through practices like crop diversification, their efforts are constrained by lack of resources and services. The conclusions are that Ethiopia is highly vulnerable to climate change impacts on agriculture and that coordinated action is needed.
Ice cores, tree rings, paintings/drawings, and global temperature data provide evidence of past climate change:
- Ice cores contain air bubbles that allow scientists to estimate past temperatures over 800,000 years and identify climate patterns. However, data is limited to specific locations.
- Tree rings indicate past climate conditions, with narrow rings representing cooler periods and wide rings warmer periods. But some tree species do not produce reliable rings.
- Paintings and diaries describe visual representations of past climate events but are subjective accounts that are hard to date accurately.
- Global temperature records from weather stations and satellites show modern warming of 0.6°C since 1950, but data is limited and station coverage is uneven.
Earth History 2: Changes in AtmosphereRobin Seamon
The document discusses the various factors that cause changes in Earth's atmosphere and climate over time. It explains that changes in one climate variable, such as the atmosphere, will affect others as they are all interconnected. The key factors identified are 1) biotic processes, 2) variations in solar radiation, 3) plate tectonics, 4) volcanic eruptions and large igneous provinces, 5) the cryosphere, 6) Milankovitch cycles, and 7) greenhouse gases. The document traces the history of scientific understanding of these climate change causes and how different evidence and techniques verified theories about ice age triggers being linked to orbital variations amplified by greenhouse gas feedbacks.
The document discusses water usage and distribution on Earth. Some key points include:
- Only 3% of the world's water is fresh water, and less than 1% of all water is readily accessible for human use.
- California's water usage is discussed in detail, including sources of supply for Los Angeles and agricultural water usage statewide.
- Agricultural water usage is examined globally, with some crops requiring over 15,000 liters of water per kilogram produced.

The document summarizes a session attended at the MiaGreen conference. The scheduled speakers for a session on recycling business models were absent, so the attendee moved to a session on high-performing buildings presented by Noah Eckhouse. Noah outlined five "canons" or principles for achieving energy efficient buildings: be wary of misleading claims, hard work is required not shortcuts, consider obvious factors, learn from others' mistakes, and use professional tools. Noah then demonstrated using modeling software to simulate retrofits on a sample building, finding that some common solutions like central HVAC were not as effective as improved windows or chilled beams. The modeling allowed evaluating different options without actual construction costs.
