Archit 01 - Sustainable practices of architecture to a new begining.Purushothaman Archi
This document discusses 20 ideas for sustainable architecture and development. It presents concepts like owning less and sharing more, designing hikeable skyscrapers, using local and recycled materials, achieving zero waste, maximizing daylight, and ensuring designs consider carbon absorption. The document argues that good design can be beautiful, meaningful and sustainable. It provides examples of buildings that exemplify principles like sitting lightly on the earth, passive design, and orientation for optimal energy efficiency.
The document summarizes meetings and projects in Abu Ghraib, Iraq from 2009 to 2010, including getting to know local children and leaders, discussing community projects, reviewing infrastructure plans like an overpass and greenhouse, refurbishing a school, providing solar lights and a wheelchair, assisting small businesses, and distributing books to children.
Music lessons in childhood can provide lasting cognitive benefits even for adults who haven't played in years, such as being better readers, more creative problem solvers, and better listeners. While music has intrinsic value as an art form that should be taught for its own sake, early music lessons may improve skills like reading ability and problem solving creativity that can have long-term benefits.
This document appears to be an architectural portfolio containing details of two projects - a residential and workshop building with a leaf-like facade for sunlight protection and identity, and a sports center in Kadikoy. It includes the architect's contact information, project titles, brief descriptions of the designs and intended functions, and year completed.
The document summarizes the backgrounds and collaborative project of Argentinean architect Mariana Ibañez and American architect Simon Kim. It describes their installation of "The Mechanical Garden" at MoMA PS1, which utilized geometric structures to provide shade and seating in the courtyard and allow it to be used for various social activities. The installation fulfilled the goals of the Young Architects Program (YAP) for a temporary structure providing shade, seating, and a water feature.
Energy conservation refers to reducing energy usage by using less of an energy service rather than through efficient energy use. Energy conservation provides environmental benefits like cleaner air and protecting the climate. It also enhances national security by prolonging domestic energy resources and reducing dependence on unstable foreign regimes. There is a need for conservation to address issues like the energy crisis, financial security, and control of energy usage. Future technologies being developed to address these needs include renewable energy sources, electric vehicles, and solar-powered devices.
Getting Started With Eco-Design - Guidance for innovative product developersRachelHarker
An overview of the legal and commercial drivers behind the need to implement eco-design in NPI (new product introduction) and product development plus a guide to getting started.

Applying Iterative Design to the Eco-Feedback Design Process Jon Froehlich
Although randomized controlled trials are the gold standard in evaluating the effectiveness of eco-feedback systems on reducing consumption behaviors, such trials are resource intensive and costly. As such, it is crucial that the intervention—the eco-feedback artifact—is well designed before effort is invested in a longitudinal study.
In this talk, I will discuss the application of iterative design to eco-feedback systems. Iterative design is a design methodology based on a cyclic process of prototyping, user testing, and analysis, the results of which are then used to inform a new round of prototyping (and the cycle continues). Through an 18-month design process of a prototype eco-feedback display (Froehlich, 2011), I will describe how iterative design was used to evaluate and refine the aesthetic, usability, understandability, and educational potential of an eco-feedback system before a field deployment. I will highlight the role of massive online surveys in evaluating early eco-feedback design ideas and the role of in-home interviews in evaluating higher-fidelity (more refined) designs. Finally, I will close the talk with a discussion of low-cost methods to deploy and test eco-feedback designs in the field even when underlying resource sensing systems (e.g., smart meters) are unavailable. These methods can be used to evaluate how the eco-feedback system may fit into domestic space, explore differences in perspective and preference across household members, and evaluate how the system affects household dynamics (e.g., if the design provokes privacy concerns) before behavioral trials are conducted in earnest.

Phantom power, also known as vampire power or standby power, costs the average American home $1000 per year and wastes an estimated $4 billion in the US annually. This phantom power comes from electronics being plugged in but not in active use, accounting for 5-15% of household energy use. Simple actions like unplugging unused devices or adjusting thermostats can help reduce phantom power usage and save money on energy bills.
The Competitive Enterprise Institute is a free market think tank that believes individuals, not governments, should make choices. In response to EPA warnings about secondhand smoke, a CEI analyst suggested smoking should be thought of as a "civic duty" and proposed lighting up annually to protest government health rules. While acknowledging the health risks, he felt some things were more important than health. The CEI aims to advance its free market ideas through research, policy work, and if needed, legal challenges. This case shows the CEI committed to its views, though its suggestion around smoking was considered unethical.
GreenSwitch™ uses simple wireless technology to control energy usage in the home or office. With the convenient flick of one switch, the GreenSwitch Master Switch sends a protected radio frequency to all GreenSwitch components, cutting power to designated lights and outlets and setting climate control to economy mode. Turning the switch back "on" returns the system to fully operational. GreenSwitch eliminates the drain of unused electricity caused by unattended climate control, forgotten lights and "phantom power"—saving hundreds of dollars on electricity bills and greatly reducing environmental impact. GreenSwitch is easy to install as all components can be retrofitted into existing electrical systems. The GreenSwitch system is completely customizable, allowing the user to designate which electronics and appliances are affected as well as custom program their heating and cooling systems.

Maximize How You Individualize: because the Journey and Outcome Matter Nicholas Kontopoulos
According to research from the Corporate Executive Board, 57% of the buying process is being completed before the first interaction with a sales person.
In recent years, a fundamental sea change has been occurring between buyers and sellers, with the former now ceasing control of the buying process. This paradigm shift has been digitally powered with todays buyers only one touch away from connecting with content or peers that can help guide them on their purchasing journey.
This presentation will explore the challenges that not only lay ahead for todays marketers, but also explore some of the ways in which innovative brands are adapting to this 'New Reality’.
Lecture Notes for Eco-design principles lectureJ. M. Korhonen
1) Sustainable design principles focus on people, planet and profit. Product development teams can help balance these demands by synthesizing solutions to complex problems.
2) There are five demands for sustainable products: being cyclic, renewable, safe, efficient, and social. Eco-design strategies include designing for longevity, disposal, reducing materials and energy, reusing, and recycling.
3) Moving from eco-efficiency to eco-effectiveness means maximizing positive effects like profit in addition to minimizing damages. This can be done through biological and technological nutrient cycles.
4) Light life cycle assessments in early design phases can be used for benchmarking, concept evaluation,
