Passive Cooling and Vernacularism in Mughal Buildings in North India: A Sourc...drboon
In the present time, scrupulous use of energy is a challenge for the world population. The natural resources of energy are depleting day by day and the present resources seem inadequate to fulfill the need of human beings in future. Global warming and depletion of fossil fuels pose the dual crisis for sustainability. The building sector, being a major consumer of energy necessitates a critical scrutiny on this aspect. The techniques used for cooling, heating and ventilation of the buildings in the past were more harmonious with the nature. Use of locally available resources for design of historical buildings was energy efficient. The passive cooling in historical buildings provides a source of inspiration for sustainable development in contemporary world. In this paper, the author has examined various passive cooling techniques and locally available resources used in Mughal buildings in North India. The design elements of these buildings have evaluated on the basis of their suitability to the climate. The findings of this study suggest further research to explore guidelines for designing energy efficient buildings for sustainable development in the present era and future world.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

2. INTRODUCTION
What about a sustainable house?
• Characteristics of a sustainable house.
• Building Systems.
• Use of renewable energies.
3. What’s sustainability?
Consists in satisfying the necessities of nowadays’
generation without sacrifying the capacity to fullfil future
generations needs. (Informe Bruntland, ONU 1987).
4. Sustainable house: design factors
It is orientated and designed in
order to get comfort with a
minimum amount of energy
spent.
Main design factors:
• Solar radiation
• Wind currents
• Vegetation around the
house
5. Sustainable house: : environmental
impact
Sustainable architecture worries about
the environmental impact:
1 – Construction techniques.
2 – Construction Placement.
3 – Environmental impact.
4 – Energy employed.
5 - Construction Materials.

Edifici Sostenible
7. CHARACTERISTICS OF A SUSTAINABLE BUILDING
1-The building orientation is very important although
most of the times it is not taken into account. A house
cannot always be built where the owners would like to do
it. There are not too many options as far as placement is
concerned.
8. 2- The heating system is
very important since most
of the times energy in a
building is lost due to the
materials used . In order
to avoid this materials
should take into account:
1 –Heat accumulation
2 –Windows and doors
must be isolated.
9. A great efficiency can be acquired by using:
- A good isolation system in roofs and walls.
- Sun protection for windows.
- A good system of ventilation
- A great efficient conditioning air system.
10. Production of renewable
energies for self use.
- Solar energy captation by
means of photovoltaic
cells.
- Installation of small size
aerogenerators.
- Systems of solar heating
11. 3.- CONSTRUCTION
MATERIALS
The building of the house must
take into account different aspects
such as :
•Soil movements
•Structure and roof
• Impermeabilization
•Isolations
•Filling
•Glass and painting materials
•Electricity
12. 4- RESIDUES AND REUSE:
IMPLIES:
- Treatment of grey waters
- Biologic stabilization
- Compostage production from organic garbage.
- Recycling.
13. Water efficiency:
Water resource is not illimited that is why its use
should be reduced optimizing thus the circle of water
use.
• Grey waters should be recycled for plant
watering or water close use.
• Cleaning system of water should be included
or even provide different water saving systems
in the house taps.
