This document discusses thermal comfort and factors that affect it. Thermal comfort is defined as a psychological state of satisfaction with one's thermal environment. It is affected by environmental factors like air temperature, humidity, air speed, and radiant heat as well as personal factors like activity level and clothing. Proper ventilation and control of temperature, humidity, and air speed are needed to maintain thermal comfort. The building envelope and mechanical systems work together to provide thermal comfort by minimizing heat transfer and maintaining a balance between heat production and heat loss in the body.
Ventilation is the process of changing or replacing air in an enclosed space to control air quality by removing contaminants and introducing outside fresh air. It is needed to maintain oxygen levels, remove carbon dioxide, control humidity, prevent heat buildup, and dilute odors and other contaminants. Ventilation can be natural through wind and stack effects, or mechanical using fans. Standards recommend minimum air change rates to ensure adequate indoor air quality and occupant comfort. Factors like air temperature, humidity, airflow patterns, and rates must be properly controlled.
Ventilation is important in heritage buildings to provide fresh air and remove contaminants. Historically, natural ventilation methods like operable windows and stack effect were used. However, with global warming, heritage buildings now face issues like excessive heat without proper ventilation. The document suggests increasing the efficiency of ventilation systems through mechanical ventilation or passive methods like solar chimneys that utilize natural elements like stack effect while addressing current climate challenges.
Ventilation is the intentional movement of air into and out of a building. It provides acceptable indoor air quality by removing odors and delivering fresh air either naturally through forces like wind and stack effect, or mechanically. Standards for ventilation are based on factors like floor area, cubic footage of air per person, and recommended air changes per hour. Proper ventilation is important for thermal comfort, indoor air quality, and health.

Thermal comfort describes a person's psychological state regarding feeling too hot or cold, and is difficult to define as it depends on environmental and personal factors. Thermal comfort aims to satisfy the majority of people and is considered achieved if 80% of occupants feel comfortable. Thermal comfort is measured by complaints, not just air temperature, and impacts morale, productivity, and sick building syndrome symptoms if people cannot adapt to their environment.
A compressor is a machine that compresses air or gas to pressures over 241.25 KPa. There are three main types: centrifugal for low pressure/high capacity, rotary for medium pressure/low capacity, and reciprocating for high pressure/low capacity. Compressed air has many industrial and specialized uses. Compressors can be analyzed using the steady flow energy equation and isentropic, polytropic, or isothermal processes. Multistage compression saves power by cooling the air between stages to limit temperature and pressure increases.
Igneous rocks such as granite and basalt are formed from cooled volcanic material, either underground as plutonic rocks or on the surface as extrusive rocks like basalt. Sedimentary rocks like limestone and sandstone form from compression and cementation of particles of animal and plant remains or other rocks. Metamorphic rocks include quartzite and slate, which form from the alteration of other rocks by heat, pressure, or other natural processes in a region over a long period of time.
Environmental threats and Land Reclamation on underground mining of Gem,graph...Pabasara Gunawardane
Removal of valuable minerals from the earth by taking both people and equipment into depths from the earth’s surface is called underground mining.Unsupported openings, Supported openings and Caving methods are the three methods of underground mining. Main methods in Underground mining are drift mining, slope mining, shaft mining, borehole process and hard rock mining.Contamination of rivers, lakes and ground water, alteration of surface and ground water flow, erosion and instability, loss of soil, material contamination, improper sanitation, increased dust, loss of faunal and floral habitats, over use of timber resources and destruction of forests and savannah are the general environmental threats of mining.
Gem mining methods range from digging deep mines and adrift to shallow open mining and river bed mining. In Sri Lanka traditional gem mining is mainly found in Balangoda, Ratnapura, Opanayake, Deniyaya, Rakwana, Elahera and Matale areas. Legislation to minimise environmental damage caused by gem mining is included within the 1971 Act drawn up by the NGJA, reinforced by the Mines and Minerals Act of 1992. Damage to vegetation cover, plantations and paddy fields, damage to land and geomorphology, man-made structures, to streams and river banks, sedimentation and water pollution, damage to fauna, alteration of surface and ground water flow and adverse environmental health conditions are some threats of gem mining.
Graphite and gold mining also have a severe impact on the environment. Especially the impacts are affecting on soil and water.
Backfilling of mined sites, seeding with grasses, tree planting at backfilled sites with native species, shaping and contouring of spoil piles and replacement of top soil are some mitigatory measures to the land reclamation after the mining of gold, gem and graphite.

Thermal comfort is affected by multiple factors including air temperature, humidity, air velocity, clothing, activity level, and individual physiology. Two main models of thermal comfort are the static model, which advocates for a single constant temperature, and the adaptive model, which recognizes humans can adapt to different temperatures seasonally. Research on thermal comfort considers human physiology, develops standards and indices, and applies to various contexts like buildings, regions, and livestock to help optimize thermal environments.
Reciprocating compressors compress gases via pistons moving inside cylinders. They have high pressure pulsations and can surge if not regulated properly. Flow rate in reciprocating compressors is regulated through variable clearance volumes, variable speed, bypass valves, or suction valve unloaders. Calculating intermediate pressures in multi-stage reciprocating compressors involves determining the common pressure ratio between stages using the overall pressure ratio and number of stages.

Lecture Notes
Heating and Cooling Systems
There are four factors that contribute to a person’s comfort in a particular environment: air temperature, relative humidity, the mean radiant temperature, and the presence of air movement. When the temperature, moisture, radiant temperatures, and moving air are controlled in any environment, people will be comfortable.
Relative Humidity
The amount of moisture in the air is one of the factors that directly affects comfort whether a person is inside or outside. Relative Humidity (RH) is the amount of moisture in the air compared to the total amount of water that could be in the air if it were totally saturated. A weatherization service provider can measure relative humidity using a hygrometer or a relative humidity and temperature meter. A psychrometer is a basic hygrometer that is made of two thermometers. A reading of 50 percent relative humidity means that the air, at a specific temperature, contains 50 percent of the total amount of water it is capable of maintaining for saturation.
Mean Radiant Temperature
The mean radiant temperature is the average temperature of the surfaces in the environment. Warm air can hold more moi.

Improved indoor environmental quality in green buildings can positively impact occupant health and productivity. A study found reductions in perceived absenteeism and fewer distracted work hours among employees who moved from conventional to green buildings. Green buildings may positively affect public health by improving indoor environmental quality factors like air quality, temperatures, lighting, and acoustics which can otherwise negatively impact physical and psychological health. Maintaining thermal comfort through passive design strategies like wind towers can help reduce energy consumption in hot, arid regions.
1) HVAC involves heating, ventilation, and air conditioning to control temperature, humidity, air quality, and circulation for human comfort.
2) The main HVAC processes are heating, cooling, humidifying, dehumidifying, cleaning, ventilating, and air movement.
3) Proper HVAC design requires considering factors like building design, occupancy, location, and architectural constraints to effectively condition indoor spaces.
This document discusses ways to achieve thermal comfort through building design, construction, and maintenance. It explains that thermal comfort is influenced by factors like air temperature, humidity, air speed, clothing, and activity level. Building codes aim to minimize discomfort rather than eliminate it, as different people experience comfort differently. Thermal comfort can be measured using the predicted mean vote (PMV) scale of -3 to +3. Guidelines recommend keeping the PMV between -0.5 and +0.5. The document then provides recommendations for achieving thermal comfort, including using HVAC to regulate mean radiant temperature, minimizing air leakage, allowing some occupant control, and maintaining and adjusting the thermal environment over time.
HVAC systems are designed to maintain comfort levels by controlling temperature, humidity, and air quality in indoor environments. Comfort is subjective, but surveys show most people prefer temperatures around 75°F in summer and 70°F in winter. HVAC achieves comfort through processes like convection, radiation, evaporation and conduction that influence how the body dissipates heat. Understanding psychrometrics, which studies air and vapor properties under varying temperatures and pressures, is key to designing effective HVAC systems that can predict issues and provide a comfortable environment.
This document provides information about window air conditioners, including their parts, working principles, advantages, and classification of air conditioners more broadly. It describes the key components of a window AC unit, including the refrigeration system (compressor, condenser, expansion valve, evaporator), air circulation system (blower, fans), and control system. It explains the two air cycles in a window AC: the room air cycle where hot room air is filtered, cooled by the evaporator, and blown into the room, and the hot air cycle where heat is transferred from the condenser to the outside air. Window ACs are classified as unitary or packed systems that are convenient and inexpensive but use more energy than other options.
This document discusses factors that affect thermal comfort for humans. Thermal comfort is defined as satisfaction with one's thermal environment and is influenced by both physical and physiological factors. Key physical factors discussed include air temperature, relative humidity, air movement, and surface temperatures. The recommended air temperature range for thermal comfort is 19-28°C. Both low and high relative humidity can cause discomfort, and moderate air movement from fans can improve comfort in warm conditions.
This document discusses factors that influence human thermal comfort, including physiology, heat balance, metabolism, clothing, environmental parameters like temperature and humidity, and air quality. It describes how comfort is defined as an absence of discomfort from feeling too hot or cold. Several environmental and personal parameters impact thermal comfort, including air temperature, humidity, radiant temperature, air speed, clothing insulation, activity level, and their rate of change. Standards provide temperature and humidity ranges for comfort but individual variations exist.
This document provides information on environmental control systems and thermal comfort in buildings. It discusses criteria for thermal control, including passive techniques like natural ventilation and solar shading, and active techniques using HVAC systems. Thermal comfort is influenced by personal factors like activity level and clothing, as well as environmental factors like air temperature, radiant temperature, air velocity and humidity. The document also covers climatic zones in Pakistan and climatic data used for building design, including orientation and layout considerations.
Extreme temperatures can endanger human health and infrastructure. Thermal comfort is defined as satisfaction with one's thermal environment, and is impacted by environmental and personal factors. Heat stress and cold stress can cause illnesses like heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and hypothermia. Hazards of temperature extremes should be identified and assessed using tools like wet bulb globe thermometers. Prevention strategies include controlling the work environment through ventilation, shielding, or modifying processes, as well as using protective clothing, safe work practices, and worker acclimatization.
This document discusses thermal comfort in clothing. It begins by defining comfort and thermal comfort, noting that comfort is influenced by both external environmental factors and internal individual factors. It then discusses the six main factors that influence thermal comfort: air temperature, radiant temperature, air velocity, humidity, clothing insulation, and metabolic heat. The document also discusses approaches to improving thermal comfort through appropriate textile material selection, garment design focused on ventilation, and use of technologies like phase change materials. It emphasizes that thermal comfort is an important consideration in clothing design.
A facilities managers guide to achieving adaptive thermal comfort for occupants21 Handshake
How comfortable is your Chicago building? According to ASHRAE, a building has achieved optimal thermal comfort when a minimum of 80 percent of the occupants are satisfied with the indoor environmental conditions, but how do you determine if 80 percent of the individuals in your building are comfortable? This can be a tough question to answer. Thankfully, there are factors you can consider when it comes to improving the indoor comfort of your building.
Thermal comfort is affected by factors like air temperature, humidity, air movement, and radiant heat. Over time, indices have been developed to quantify thermal comfort, including effective temperature and corrected effective temperature. Properly measuring factors like air temperature, humidity, air velocity, and radiant heat is necessary to evaluate thermal conditions and design appropriate heating/cooling systems. Key instruments used in measurement include dry bulb thermometers, wet bulb thermometers, psychrometers, globe thermometers, and Kata thermometers. Common heat stress indices are effective temperature and the wet bulb globe temperature index.

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against developing mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already have a condition.
Escalators can be arranged in several configurations to efficiently transport passengers between floors. A single escalator arrangement is inexpensive but allows travel in only one direction, while parallel escalators maximize passenger flow and comfort by allowing two-way travel. Multi-level arrangements like scissor and criss-cross configurations provide continuous bidirectional traffic and are most suitable for high-traffic buildings. The optimal escalator configuration depends on factors like passenger volume, traffic patterns, and space restrictions.
An escalator is a moving staircase that transports people between floors. It consists of a metal truss structure with tracks that guide metal steps in a continuous loop powered by an electric motor. The steps move at around 1-2 feet per second and have a maximum incline of 30 degrees. Escalators have platforms at the top and bottom where the curved tracks guide the flat steps back into a staircase formation. Additional components include handrails, exterior panels, safety devices, and control systems. Escalators can efficiently move large numbers of people and are used to direct traffic flow in buildings.

3. Thermal Comfort
Thermal comfort is defined in British
Standard BS EN ISO 7730 as:
‘that condition of mind which
expresses satisfaction with the
thermal environment.’
So the term ‘thermal comfort’
describes a person’s
psychological state of mind and is
usually referred to in terms of
whether someone is feeling too
hot or too cold.
4. Thermal Comfort
Thermal comfort is very difficult to define
because you need to take into account a
range of environmental and personal factors
when deciding what will make people feel
comfortable.
Even people who are in the same room can feel
significant temperature differences due to their
metabolic rates, which makes it very hard to
find an optimal temperature for everyone in a
given location.
The best that you can realistically hope to
achieve is a thermal environment that satisfies
the majority of people in the workplace, or put
more simply, ‘reasonable comfort’.
5. Thermal comfort is a term used by the American
Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-
Conditioning Engineers, an international body. It
is defined as the state of mind in humans that
expresses satisfaction with the surrounding
environment (ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 55).
Maintaining this standard of thermal comfort for
occupants of buildings or other enclosures is
one of the important goals of HVAC (heating,
ventilation, and air conditioning) design
engineers.
Thermal Comfort
6. Thermal comfort is affected by heat
conduction, convection, radiation, and
evaporative heat loss. Thermal comfort is
maintained when the heat generated by
human metabolism is allowed to dissipate,
thus maintaining thermal equilibrium with
the surroundings. It has been long
recognised that the sensation of feeling hot
or cold is not just dependent on air
temperature alone.
Thermal Comfort
7. Thermal discomfort has been known to
lead to Sick Building Syndrome symptoms.
The combination of high temperature and
high relative humidity serves to reduce
thermal comfort and indoor air quality. The
occurrence of symptoms increased much
more with raised indoor temperatures in the
winter than in the summer due to the larger
difference created between indoor and
outdoor temperatures.
Importance of thermal comfort
8. Thermal Comfort
What affect thermal comfort?
Personal factors (health, psychology, sociology
& situational factors)
Activity levels
Insulative clothing
Air temperature
Mean radiant temperature
Air movement/velocity (see wind chill factor)
Relative humidity (see also perspiration)
9. Each person has a different metabolic rate,
and these rates can fluctuate when a person is
performing certain activities, or under certain
environmental conditions.
Level of activity influences the level of heat
generated. In high activity the temperature rises
and the more heat you will give off.
Typical heat output of an adult male
10. The amount of clothing that we wear generally depends
on the season and affects our thermal comfort.
Clothing is measured in a scale called clo value.
During cold weather, layers of insulating clothing can
help keep a person warm. At the same time, if the
person is doing a large amount of physical activity, lots
of clothing layers can prevent heat loss and possibly
lead to overheating. Activity level is compared to being
seated quietly, such as in a classroom. This standard
amount of insulation required to keep a resting person
warm in a windless room at 70 °F (21.1 °C) is equal to one
clo.
11. Environmental Comfort Factors
The conditions that maintain the thermal balance
in a building are:
Air temperature (dry bulb – deg C)
Humidity of the air (%)
Air speed (m per sec)
Radiant conditions
These factors are controllable through design
– a passive system should control all four factors;
– an active (HVAC) system is expected to control the first three
(with “architecture” controlling the fourth)
12. When we adjust a thermostat,
we are setting a goal for a comfort air temperature.
13. …and the level of humidity at that temperature.
Relative humidity creates the perception of an extremely
dry or extremely damp indoor environment.
This can then play a part in the perceived temperature
and their thermal comfort. The recommended level of
indoor humidity is in the range of 30-60%.
14. and the temperature* of the wall, window,
ceiling, and floor surfaces in the room
* This condition is called the
“mean radiant temperature”
15. To feel good, a range of combinations
create a comfort field in which:
The air is not too humid
Air speeds remain within established limits
The difference between radiant and air
temperature remains small
The difference of the radiant temperature
in different directions (between your body
and adjacent surfaces) remains small.
Room air temperature between head and
feet is small
The air is clean
16. Optimal thermal comfort requires the heat loss of the
human body to be in BALANCE with its heat production.
This is similar to the relationship between an activity
(exercising, skiing…) and clothes - our second skin.
18. What are the qualities that assure we are
comfortable in our homes?
19. The ability to provide thermal comfort is one of the
most important functions of a building.
not too hot, not too cold
20. Comfort in building
Good building is not only about avoiding
problems, it should also be about creating
positively pleasurable and healthy living places.
Comfort in building is about the physical
environment in its totality.
21. Comfort in building
Human beings operate and feel better when they
are at temperatures which are comfortable. It is now
well understood that in the workplace, accidents
increase as temperatures go outside the zone of 16
to 24°C. However temperature is also strongly linked
to humidity levels as regards comfort.
In the section on health, controlling humidity and
temperature was seen as a method of controlling
pollutants . Interestingly the levels of humidity and
temperature which are most healthy are also the
most comfortable. There is no conflict between
health and comfort.
22. Maintaining this comfort field is the
domain of these two important
building systems:
BUILDING ENVELOPE
Which includes the walls, floors, and roof or ceilings that
enclose the building, and any penetrations of that
enclosure for doors, windows, chimneys, vents, etc. plus
the accumulated air leakage created by gaps in the
structure
MECHANICAL SYSTEMS
That provide supplemental heating, sometimes cooling,
and any controlled ventilation.
23. Shortcomings in the building envelope often require
us to tolerate conditions outside the comfort field.
Buildings that are leaky,
drafty, and minimally
insulated, with average
windows, variation in
temperature between
ceiling and floor, and
cold surrounding
surfaces are likely to be
experienced as
uncomfortable
…this is typical of MOST
buildings!
24. We seek control over these conditions thru the use
of mechanical systems like boilers and furnaces.
25. To overcome our discomfort
we may rely (at a cost) on
additional fans, heaters,
humidifiers, etc. to establish a
local comfort zone.
…or just wear more clothes
26. Comfort design in building
What would you consider in design to maintain
temperature in buildings?
The resistance of a material to the passage of
heat and the thermal conductivity of the
material in passing the heat along are the
basics of understanding of maintaining a steady
temperature and a comfortable thermal indoor
environment.
In order to maintain a comfortable room
temperature the building must be provided with
as much heat as is lost through ventilation.
27. Comfort design in building
Comfortable temperature for humans is provided by
balancing the heat lost through conduction and
ventilation through the fabric with similar heat.
Optimum temperature will depend on material used
, type of construction, orientation of the building and
degree of exposure to the rain and wind.
What will the loss of heat in buildings depend on?
Materials used
Type of construction
Orientation of the building in relation to the sun
Degree of exposure to rain and wind
28. These are the building design strategies and effects that we rely
on to create the conditions that assure thermal comfort.
30. Causes of Indoor Air Quality Problem
Temperature and/or Humidity
Too much glare
Inadequate fresh air
Lead to carbon dioxide (CO2) buildup
Normal outdoor CO2 Level is 350 ppm
Indoor CO2 level can be 600-800 ppm
> 1000ppm CO2 levels –Tired/sleepness
Cal/OSHA permissible exposure limit for
CO2 is 5000 ppm.
31. Sources of Indoor Pollutants
Base on Specific Building
Combustion activity
Furniture
Chemical
Building materials
Food
Water
Smoking activity
Outdoor air pollution
32. Control of indoor pollutant methods include:
1. remove source of pollution
2. provide local extract at pollution sources
3. provide sufficient general ventilation to
dilute and remove the pollution
4. purify internal air
33. Introduction of Chemicals &
Contaminants into the Building
Old food – Forgotten lunches/snacks
Building Remodeling – Adhesives, Paints
Select Low volatile/low toxicity products
Schedule work on weekends/after hours
Allow remodeled area to off-gas prior
to re-occupation
Temporarily relocate employees
34. Introduction of Chemicals &
Contaminants into the Building
Building air inlet – Auto exhaust
Cleaners
UCOP Uses green seal cleaning supplies
Non-Toxic
Not a skin sensitizer
Does not contain substance which
contribute to poor indoor air quality
If using a cleaner – be aware of how
your actions may impact your co-
workers
35. Introduction of Chemicals &
Contaminants into the Building
Printer/Copying Machines
Can generate particulate and
ozone
Ozone –eye & respiratory irriation
Do not place in room with poor
ventilation
Do not point printer exhaust at
individuals
42. One option to provide
domestic ventilation is the use
of a passive stack (PSV) system.
This uses a combination of the
air flowing over the roof and the
natural buoyancy of warm
moist air to lift the moist, stale air
from the kitchen, bathroom, etc
up ducting to the roof ridge
level where it escapes into the
atmosphere.
43. Fresh air is drawn into the
building through the trickle
vents in the windows and
doors etc.
Without the need for any
electric fans or control, PSV
system are energy
efficient. The amount of
ventilation achieved
depends largely on the
amount of movement of
the external air and the
external air temperature.
44. Factors Affecting Ventilation &
Wind Forces Include:
Average wind speed
Prevailing wind direction
Seasonal and daily variation in wind speed and direction
Local obstructing objects, such as nearby buildings and
trees
Position and characteristic of openings through which air
flows; and
Distribution of surface pressure coefficients for the wind.
Natural ventilation systems are often designed for wind
speeds of half the average seasonal velocity because
from climatic analysis there are very few places where
wind speed falls below half the average velocity for many
hours in a year.
45. Guidelines for natural ventilation
A natural ventilation system should be
effective regardless of wind direction and
there must be adequate ventilation even
when the wind does not blow from the
prevailing direction;
Inlet and outlet openings should not be
obstructed by nearby objects;
windows should be located in opposing
pressure zone since this usually will increase
ventilation rate;
A certain vertical distance should be kept
between openings for temperature to
produce stack effect;
Openings at the same level and near to
the ceiling should be avoided since much
of the air flow may bypass the occupied
zone;
Architectural elements like wingwalls,
parapets and overhangs may be used to
promote air flow into the building;
46. Guidelines for natural ventilation
Topography, landscaping, and surrounding buildings
should be used to redirect airflow and give
maximum exposure to breeze;
In hot, humid climates, air velocities should be
maximized in the occupied zones for bodily cooling;
To admit wind air flow, the long facade of the
building and the door and window opening should
be oriented with respect to the prevailing wind
direction;
If possible, window openings should be accessible to
and operable by occupants;
Vertical shafts and open staircases may be used to
increase and generate stack effects;
Opening in the vicinity of the neutral pressure level
may be reduced since they are less effective for the
thermally induced ventilation;
47. Effects of natural ventilation of thermal comfort
Many buildings use a HVAC (Heating Ventilation Air
Conditioning) unit to control their thermal environment.
Recently, with the current energy and financial
situation, new methods for indoor temperature control
are being used. One of these is natural ventilation.
48. Effects of natural ventilation of thermal comfort
This process can make the controlled indoor air
temperature more susceptible to the outdoor weather,
and during the seasonal months the temperatures
inside can become too extreme. During the summer
months, the temperature inside can rise too high and
cause the need for open windows and fans to be used.
In contrast, the winter months could call for more
insulation and layered clothing to deal with the less
than ideal temperatures.
49. Barriers to the Application of
Natural Ventilation
Barriers during building operations
Safety concerns
Noise from outdoor
Dust and air pollution
Solar shading covering the openings
Draught prevention
Knowledge of the users about how to take
the best advantage of natural ventilation
50. Barriers to the Application of
Natural Ventilation
Barriers during building design
Building and fire regulations
Need for acoustic protection
Difficult to predict pattern of use
Devices for shading, privacy and daylighting may hamper
the free flow of air
Problem with automatic controls in openings
Lack of suitable, reliable design tools
Other barriers
Impact on architectural and envelope design
Fluctuation of the indoor conditions
Design a naturally ventilated building requires more work but
could reduce mechanical system (design fee on a fixed
percentage of system’s cost)
Increase risk for designers
Lack of suitable standards
51. Indoor Air Quality Council-USA
The IAQ Council offers certifications in five disciplines
related to indoor air quality:
Microbial Consulting and Investigation
Council-certified Microbial Consultant (CMC)
Council-certified Microbial Investigator (CMI)
Microbial Remediation
Council-certified Microbial Remediation Supervisor
(CMRS)
Council-certified Microbial Remediator (CMR)

53. Malaysian Approach
Green Building Index (GBI)
The Green Building Index (GBI) is Malaysia’s
industry recognized green rating tool for buildings
to promote sustainability in the built environments
and raise awareness among Developers,
Architects, Engineers, Planners, Designers,
Contractors and the Public about environmental
issues and our responsibility to the future
generations.
