The document discusses the passive voice in English grammar. The passive voice uses a form of the verb "to be" along with the past participle of the main verb, and places the recipient of the action at the subject rather than the doer. It is used when the doer or agent is unknown, unimportant, or implied. Examples are given of sentences rewritten in the passive voice to shift focus to the object rather than the subject performing the action.

This document contains diagrams and illustrations of a geothermal power plant. It shows various components of the plant including: wells that draw underground hot water or steam to the surface, turbines turned by the hot water/steam to generate electricity, pipes to distribute the water/steam throughout the plant, and cooling systems to return water back underground after use. The diagrams provide labels and details on the design and workings of the different systems and machinery that make up the geothermal energy facility.
This document discusses low-emissivity (low-e) windows. Low-e windows have coatings, often metallic oxides, applied to their surfaces that reflect infrared heat radiation while letting visible light pass through. This improves window efficiency by keeping indoor heat indoors in winter and reflecting sunlight's heat away in summer to keep interiors cooler. Naturally low-e glass without coatings does not have this heat reflection property and transmits more infrared radiation instead.
This document discusses a proposal to recycle rain water and used water from neighboring buildings in Aristotelous Square through three phases: underground storage connected to the drainage system, collection and storage in a kiosk, and transport through flying water tubes. The kiosk would help manage the local climate and microclimate while being an energy-conscious design that brings light in, with the overall goal of recycling water using solar, wind, and geothermal energy sources.
