Colin Reiter: Green Buildings in Operation
The University of Melbourne is committed to sustainability in its campus operations. It seeks minimum Green Star ratings for all new buildings and major renovations through the Green Building Council of Australia. Analysis shows that two new 5-star rated buildings at the university use 35-29% less electricity than older, comparable buildings of similar size and activity. While innovative green building elements and technologies provide benefits, they can also result in higher maintenance costs and difficulties achieving original energy targets. There are opportunities for research collaboration between the Group of Eight universities on analyzing the performance of their certified green buildings.

The document discusses how estates costs are the second highest expense for universities after salaries. It notes the increasing expectations for 24/7 access but also the higher costs that come with increased utilities, maintenance, and security. The quality of the learning environment is an important factor for student choice. The size of the UK higher education estate and spending on estates has significantly increased in the last decade while student numbers have grown more modestly. Planning and management of the physical estate must improve with lower margins for error given increased government control and financial penalties as well as rising student fees. The drivers for change include blended learning, cost efficiencies, mergers/alliances, and addressing underutilized space. More integrated planning of courses and departments is needed toCc lining
Concrete Cloth provides protection of culvert inverts by fastening the material to areas experiencing abrasion. It forms a new wearing surface and can prevent further damage. While Concrete Cloth extends the life of drainage structures, regular inspections are still needed. Pipes should be cleaned prior to installation, and minor repairs may be required. Concrete Cloth uses a cement composition making it durable, with abrasion resistance similar to or greater than concrete. Its fiber reinforcement prevents it from disintegrating like concrete during wear. Proper thickness should be selected based on the abrasion environment and a 25-year design life is estimated.
Berm protection
Concrete Cloth (CC) is a flexible concrete material used to armor and protect earthen berms at oil refineries. CC hardens upon hydration to form a durable fiber-reinforced concrete layer preventing erosion from weathering. It can be rapidly installed by a small crew at over 3,000 square feet per day. CC conforms well to protrusions and corners, and allows installation in wet conditions, reducing delays from poor weather. It provides effective protection for sensitive infrastructure and prevents damage from animals or fires.
Remove oma+amo boards
The document proposes a plan to reconfigure the Gardiner Expressway in Toronto by removing the upper deck and transforming it into a grade-level boulevard called Lakeshore Boulevard. This would open up opportunities for new north-south connections between neighborhoods and the waterfront. A key part of the plan is creating a new transit hub called a Transferium where several transit lines intersect, including a proposed relief subway line, GO commuter rail lines, and streetcars. This would improve transportation connectivity. The plan aims to unlock Toronto's waterfront as a place for future growth through new development districts linked by improved transit infrastructure, while focusing growth near the city center through smart growth principles.
25947612 haul-road-design-guidelines-11672
This document provides guidelines for mine haul road design based on a survey of 13 surface mines in western Canada. The key points from the survey are:
- Larger haul trucks with payloads up to 300 metric tons are now used, requiring wider and more gently curved haul roads.
- Haul road lengths vary significantly between mines but temporary in-pit roads average 1.4 years of life while semi-permanent ex-pit roads average 8 years.
- Haul road construction and maintenance equipment includes graders, dozers, dump trucks, water trucks. Larger compactors and rollers are also used.
- Haul road design must consider the size and performance of the largest haul trucks,
Remove jcfo boards
The document proposes a plan to redesign the Gardiner Expressway/Lake Shore Boulevard corridor in Toronto. It suggests reducing the amount of space dedicated to vehicles from over 80% currently to under 40% by widening sidewalks and adding a dedicated multi-use path. A green wall and stormwater features would be added along the northern edge. Intersections would be redesigned to slow traffic and prioritize pedestrians. This would transform the area from a barrier to a green, pedestrian-focused civic space connecting the city to Lake Ontario.
How to make open air theatre
To build an open air theatre:
1. Choose a large, open, sloping hillside area to take advantage of the natural terrain for seating. Common building materials included various types of stone.
2. Create a circular orchestra space in the center for performances.
3. Build terraced seating around the orchestra in a semi-circular fashion to form the theatron where the audience would sit. The number of rows depends on the space and intended capacity.
4. Construct a stage in front of the orchestra where plays would be performed.

A printed circuit board (PCB) is a fundamental component in modern electronics that serves as a platform for assembling and connecting electronic components. It provides a solid foundation for the interconnection of various electronic elements, including integrated circuits (ICs), resistors, capacitors, and other passive and active components.
The construction of a PCB typically involves a thin board made of non-conductive material, often fiberglass reinforced with epoxy resin or other laminates. The surface of the board is coated with a layer of copper, which serves as the conductive material for the electrical pathways.
PCB design involves a meticulous layout of conductive traces, which form the pathways for electrical signals to flow between components. These traces are usually etched onto the copper layer through a process of chemical etching or mechanical milling. The layout of the traces is determined by the circuit schematic, aiming to minimize signal interference, optimize signal integrity, and ensure efficient electrical connectivity.
In addition to the conductive traces, a PCB features various other elements. These include pads and vias. Pads are small areas of exposed copper where electronic components are soldered onto the board. Vias are holes drilled through the board that connect different layers of the PCB, facilitating the routing of traces between them.
PCBs can have multiple layers, ranging from single-sided boards with components mounted on one side, to double-sided and multi-layer boards, which have components mounted on both sides and multiple layers of conductive traces sandwiched between insulating layers.
The manufacturing process for PCBs involves several steps, including design and layout, fabrication of the board itself, application of the copper layer, etching or milling of the traces, drilling of holes for components and vias, and finally, assembly of components onto the board through soldering or other methods.
PCBs are essential in a wide range of electronic devices, from simple consumer electronics like calculators and remote controls to complex systems like computers, smartphones, and medical equipment. Their compact design, reliability, and scalability make them indispensable in the world of modern electronics, enabling the creation of increasingly sophisticated and efficient electronic devices.
