Learning in the Landscape by Mary Van DykeMary Van Dyke
Use signs, labels and links outdoors to enhance environmental literacy. Here are top tips for teachers and students using some cheap and easy techniques to make signs and labels outdoors and show "evidence of learning'.
Soil and stones part - A Question AnswerFazeel Akram
Soil is formed through the geologic cycle of weathering, transportation and deposition of rocks and minerals. There are two main types of soil: residual, which forms in place from weathered rock, and transported, which is moved by forces like wind, water or glaciers. Soil can also be classified by particle size into categories like gravel, sand, silt and clay. Different soil types have varying suitability for uses in construction, which can be assessed through simple tests of properties like texture and binding ability. Stones are another construction material obtained through quarrying, dressing, seasoning and testing to ensure good qualities like strength, durability and workability.
The document proposes a GreenMST solution that uses the minimum spanning tree (MST) algorithm to calculate a loop-free topology for OpenFlow networks using the learning switch module. This prevents broadcast storms while enabling failover capabilities. The MST is recomputed dynamically in response to topology changes to open and close ports. An implementation was created using Open vSwitch and the Beacon controller that demonstrated the ability of GreenMST to efficiently compute the MST and update port statuses with changes to links or switches. Future work is proposed to integrate dynamic link costs and alternative path memorization.
This document summarizes an energy efficient home that utilizes solar, wind, and rainwater collection systems. The home was designed with energy star construction including optimal orientation, insulation, windows, and appliances. It generates electricity through a hybrid solar/wind system and heats water solarly. These green features reduced the home's electricity usage by 60% and gas by 40% compared to a typical home. The renewable systems were estimated to increase the home's building costs by $8.18 per square foot.
The document provides tips for environmental responsibility, including reducing waste and energy and water consumption. It recommends choosing recycled products, using recycling bins properly, and fixing leaky taps or toilets to save water. It also suggests turning off lights and electronics when not in use, using public transport or cycling instead of cars, and lowering the thermostat to reduce heating bills and save energy. Failing to adopt these practices could lead to depletion of resources and increased pollution over the long run.
The document describes the Punjab Mandi Bhawan in Mohali, designed by architect Sarbjit Singh Bahga. The building serves as the new headquarters for the Punjab State Agricultural Marketing Board. Bahga employed several energy-efficient design strategies, including orienting the building along a north-south axis to maximize natural light, minimizing solar heat gain through vertical louvers and overhangs, and using high-performance glass and building materials. The six-floor building emphasizes natural lighting and includes skylights over a central atrium. Bahga's design achieved the client's goals of a modern, efficient office building that demonstrates innovative energy-efficient architecture.
Role of landscaping in creating energy efficient environmentSarbjit Bahga
The document discusses the role of landscaping in creating energy-efficient environments. It notes that landscaping, through the use of trees and green spaces, can significantly reduce energy usage by cutting solar heat and wind, lowering temperatures, and reducing noise and pollution. Proper landscaping design principles including tree species selection and density are important to maximize energy efficiency. Some key tree species recommended for landscaping include Neem, Indian Mahogany, Indian Laurel Fig, and Ashoka due to their hardiness, longevity, pollution tolerance, and ability to condition the environment.
¿Why are trees so important? If we all plant some 10,0000 trees each we can prevent climate catastrophe, regenerate lost soils, increase biodiversity and preserve vital ecosystems & cycles. Trees are the biggest and oldest living beings on Earth. But around 75% of the ancient forest are vanished for human action.
So it's urgent for us to know and understand trees, how to plant them, how to care for them,how to return them to their most important place in nature.In this class we will learn about tree biology and tree functions as well as their influence in our culture.
Landscaping provides beautification, recreation, and ecological balance. It involves planting ornamental plants in an aesthetic way to create naturalistic effects. Key principles include combining beauty and utility, dividing the area into parts with individual plans, and allowing gardens and buildings to merge seamlessly. Factors like human preferences, the site characteristics, views, heritage, and climate must be considered in landscape design. Landscaping provides benefits like increasing property values, improving air quality, sequestering carbon, and creating a habitat for wildlife.
Constructed landscape report for final projectLee Jian Ru
The document provides details about a group project to construct a landscape on the roof of Block E Level 2 at Taylor's University. The group's concept was to create three tiered platforms for trees and an infinity fountain. Considerations for design, sustainability using solar lights and low-maintenance plants, and material selection were made. A master plan, costing details, and maintenance plan for items like benches, grass, trees and the fountain are included.
Planning Green Roofs and Green Walls Growing medium and plantsOláh András Béla
The document discusses the requirements for growing mediums and plant selection for extensive and intensive green roofs. For extensive green roofs, the growing medium must be lightweight, well-draining, and low in organic content to avoid weeds. Recommended materials include perlite, brick rubble, and slag. Sedum species and mosses are suitable plant selections as they can withstand long dry periods. For intensive green roofs, the growing medium requires greater organic content to support trees, shrubs and turf. Plant selections must be durable in windy and dry conditions without aggressive roots or fragile branches. The design should provide wind protection through architectural elements like walls or columns.
Trees provide numerous benefits that can be grouped into four categories: social, communal, environmental, and economic. Socially, trees have been shown to aid recovery from surgery and provide feelings of peace. Communities benefit from trees enhancing property values and providing privacy. Environmentally, trees improve air quality, reduce temperatures, and provide wildlife habitat. Economically, trees can reduce home energy costs and increase property values. While trees require investments of time and money for planting and maintenance, their long-term benefits often outweigh the costs. Proper care and planning is needed to maximize trees' benefits.

Vegetation refers to plant life in a specified area without reference to particular taxa or other characteristics. It is broader than the term flora, which refers to species composition. The vegetation type is defined by dominant species or a common aspect of the assemblage, such as elevation or environment. Vegetation improves building performance by intervening in bioclimatic behavior and energy efficiency. It also improves environmental and visual quality while providing social and economic benefits by increasing green space.
This document discusses the role of plants in building science from multiple perspectives. It begins by classifying different types of plants and their uses, such as decorative plants, edible plants, and plants that purify air. It then discusses how plants can provide environmental benefits like reducing energy needs, improving aesthetics, and improving air quality. Additional sections explore how plants help with health and well-being, managing stormwater, and their role as shading devices. The document concludes by summarizing the evolution of garden design over time from ancient to modern approaches. Overall, the document outlines the various ways plants can enhance buildings and landscapes from an environmental and scientific perspective.
This document provides information on the classification and selection of plant materials for landscape design.

This document discusses canopy management practices for guava trees, specifically pruning. It notes that canopy management is an important practice that forms the basis for fruit tree precociousness and longevity. Regular pruning is essential to induce new growth and provide maximum fruit-bearing area over the tree. Pruning helps control tree size, stimulate flowering and fruiting, improve fruit quality by increasing sunlight penetration, and make other horticultural practices more efficient. The ideal guava tree structure from pruning is dwarf, spreading, with an open canopy.

The document discusses the importance of forests and how to design forest gardens. It notes that forests originally covered 50% of land but now only 30%, making forest restoration urgent. Forests play a key role in regulating air, water, climate and supporting biodiversity. The document then describes the structure and layers of a forest garden, which aims to imitate a natural forest but provide food and resources. It discusses examples of forest gardens and their creation through observation and incremental design.
1) Green homes aim to meet present needs without compromising future needs through increased energy and water efficiency, using sustainable materials like bamboo, and integrating renewable energy sources like solar power.
2) Bamboo is a remarkably sustainable building material that grows quickly, is strong yet light, and sequesters carbon, helping address global warming. Some homes in Hawaii are built entirely from bamboo.
3) In addition to financial savings from reduced utility bills, green homes provide health benefits through toxin-free materials and less mold/mildew, while also conserving natural resources.
