FEG 2016 Homeowners Guide Booklet - Buildings Foundation Movement Stabilisati...Steve Lewenhoff
This document provides a guide for homeowners about building foundation movement and stabilization. It discusses common causes of foundation cracks, such as poor construction methods, changing environmental conditions, building alterations, and the age of the building. Poor construction that does not follow building codes can result in substandard work and materials leading to issues. Changes in soil moisture, water tables, or nearby excavations can also impact foundations over time. Renovations must consider effects on existing foundations. Older houses pre-1950s often had foundations more susceptible to soil movement issues. Stabilization methods like underpinning can help reinforce foundations experiencing excessive movement.
How the people of a small town on the cross road to the silk road in Persia used micro-climate and their local materials to create energy-efficient buildings.
- Assess how they have used sun, wind and water
- Passive solar design
- Landscape and thermal mass to transform a harsh natural environment into comfortable spaces
- Evaluate innovative uses of local material in their buildings
- Santa Fe architecture and similarities to Persian architecture
- Observe the use of these techniques in modern architecture
The CRCS construction system uses T-beams in walls and roofs to create a monolithic structure that is resistant to natural disasters like hurricanes, tornados, flooding, and fire. It uses expanded polystyrene insulation with a minimum R56 rating embedded in concrete walls and roofs, providing insulation without voids or leaks. The system employs unskilled labor and allows for fast, clean construction. The architect has built over 7,500 units using this system in 15 months and can volunteer expertise to construct housing in Haiti.
Pepper's Ranch is a boys' home requiring special design considerations. The design was inspired by the Phoenix rising from the ashes to represent a fresh start. The floor plan mimics a Phoenix's tail feathers. Interior finishes resemble a Phoenix's tail colors of red and orange. The design evolved to resemble an African safari while keeping the Phoenix color scheme. Special needs like ADA accessibility were addressed.
Encaps Systems Inc. is a manufacturer and contractor that specializes in lead paint abatement and hazardous material remediation. Founded in 1988 by Roy Johnson, the company developed an encapsulation system to safely encapsulate lead-based paint and asbestos. The system has been used on numerous projects ranging from $500,000 to $2 million. Encap's cementitious coating is approved in all 50 states and provides a durable, waterproof, and breathable barrier for structures.
The document discusses green roof design and construction. It provides an overview of different types of green roofs, including extensive, semi-intensive, and intensive roofs. It also outlines important design considerations, such as determining the appropriate type of green roof based on the project, assessing structural load capacity, and ensuring the design meets all relevant standards and building codes. Live and dead load calculations are presented for different green roof scenarios.

Three friends from architecture school formed a bicoastal architecture firm called A2 Studios with offices in San Diego, Santa Rosa, and New York. The firm emphasizes collaborative design, eco-friendly practices, and international projects. Despite working in different locations, the three principals remain actively involved in all projects through their principal-led delivery system and philosophy of client-focused design.
Joseph (Joe) Stuart is the project manager for building a custom home. His parents are the main sponsors. One constraint was limited space, which Joe addressed with a 3.5-story design. Another was lack of insulation, which Joe solved using structurally insulated panels. During excavation, wet soil was discovered instead of the expected dry soil, causing delays. Phil, the first contractor, failed to properly support excavation works and was let go, costing Joe £30,000 and a 3-month delay. Overall, changes to the design and scope meant the project went over budget and timeline. However, the high quality finished home was still considered a success.

Class of 2018: LEED-certified Schools Make an ImpactUSGBC
The document describes several K-12 school projects that achieved LEED certification through sustainable design strategies. These included transforming an old military building into a flexible high school in El Segundo, California, adding classrooms at Los Altos High School in California using daylighting and renewable energy, and expanding Wayside Elementary School in Potomac, Maryland while focusing on cost-effective green design and construction. The projects showcase how K-12 facilities can create sustainable learning environments through adaptive reuse, energy-efficient design, and green building practices.
Presentation on sustainable home renovation and construction, including an overview of green rating systems, insights from two affordable LEED for Homes projects, and what you can do to make your existing home greener.
The document describes three historic building renovation projects:
1) A 1902 commercial building in St. Louis that was renovated into a restaurant with nightclubs and banquet space while preserving historic characteristics.
2) A traditional two-story house that was opened up and modernized with decorative columns, hardwood flooring, and an updated fireplace.
3) A small 1940s house that had a second story added while disguising the addition to not look like a simple upward extension from below. The addition had deep overhangs to provide horizontality.
The Khoren and Shooshanig Avedisian School & Community Center in Yerevan, Armenia provides tuition-free education for economically disadvantaged children from kindergarten through 12th grade. It is the first LEED certified building in Armenia and the Caucasus region. Students learn about environmental stewardship and sustainability through the school's certification and programs.
BoroZyme Technologies ( Enzyme based Sun-Dried Bricks and Earthen House build...Boron Inno
BoroŹyme Technologies presents their enzyme stabilized mud construction method using their DBV-1 enzyme. The enzyme stabilizes mud, allowing it to be used for construction of low-cost buildings as an alternative to traditional fired bricks. The enzyme is added to soil and water and helps bind soil particles for strength. Mud mixed with the enzyme can be formed into blocks or used directly in construction. Completed buildings are then waterproofed. Tests show the enzyme stabilized mud blocks meet strength standards and allow for affordable, sustainable housing construction.

A Visual Guide to 1 Samuel | A Tale of Two HeartsSteve Thomason
These slides walk through the story of 1 Samuel. Samuel is the last judge of Israel. The people reject God and want a king. Saul is anointed as the first king, but he is not a good king. David, the shepherd boy is anointed and Saul is envious of him. David shows honor while Saul continues to self destruct.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
