Pelletization is the process of making spheres of uniform quality iron ore with high carbon content. Iron ore is pelletized so that it can efficiently flow through a blast furnace for smelting. The process involves mixing iron ore fines with additives like limestone, dolomite, and bentonite. This mixture is then formed into balls on a balling disc and fired in a kiln to produce the iron ore pellets. The spherical shape of the pellets allows for better air flow through blast furnaces compared to finer iron ore particles. The pelletization process ultimately produces a product with higher efficiency as a raw material in blast furnaces.

Home composting requires placing a compost bin in a sunny, well-drained spot. The bin needs greens like food scraps for nitrogen and moisture, as well as browns like cardboard and leaves for carbon and structure. With the right mix of materials and ensuring air flow, the compost will break down over time due to worms, beetles and microbes. Problems can arise if the mix is too wet or dry, or if it becomes anaerobic without enough oxygen.
There are several methods for composting organic waste materials. The Indore method involves filling pits layered with dry waste, cattle dung, soil, and ash. The materials are turned three times over 2-3 months for aeration and decomposition. The Bangalore method fills pits without turning for 8-9 months of decomposition. The NADEP method facilitates composting with minimum cattle dung use through aerobic decomposition. The Coimbatore method uses pits layered with waste, cattle dung suspension, and bone meal, left undisturbed for 8-10 weeks before shaping into a heap.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

DEVELOPMENT IN
KRONSBERG
As a result, new standards are required for
Kronsberg in:
urban development
ecology
social planning
The goal is also for the:
planning process and
civic participant
to be exemplary
7. • Conception of passive houses was developed
in the late eighties.
• Super insulated houses with mechanical
ventilation and heat recovery proofed to
provide high thermal comfort with extreme
low specific heat energy consumption of
about 15 kWh/ (m2a)
• Energy conservation of about 75% compared
to conventional buildings.
CONCEPT
8. • The 32 terraced houses in Hannover Kronsberg are
arranged in 4 rows with 8 houses each row.
• This arrangement offers the advantage of reduced
envelope surface area to volume ratio.
• The houses are type buildings which are available in three
sizes with 79, 97, and 120 m2 floor area respectively.
• The main intention of this project was to show, that heat
supply in passive houses can be realized by warming up the
supply air of the balanced ventilation system.
• So these houses have no conventional heating system with
radiators, except one in the bathroom
THE
PROJECT
9. • Walls and roofs are made of light-weight
wooden construction
• The core of the building, the cross-walls and
end-walls are made of prefabricated concrete
elements.
• This modular construction allowed cost
reduction, so it was possible to achieve pure
building costs that are as low as for
conventional building

10. • Controlled mechanical ventilation with heat
recovery requires air- tightness.
Controlled air supply and exhaust-air extraction
with heat recovery.
The inhabitants may open doors and windows,
but they do not need to accomplish ventilation
through windows during the heating period
Solar hot water storage and supply-air
heater (SAH).

12. • All the built structure were to meet Low Energy
House Standard (LEH).
• This was possible only when the design had a
compact building form with few projections and
recessions.
• The required space index is 55kWh/m2.
• This was possible through
thicker insulation layers of walss
airtight and windproof building envelopes
avoidance of thermal bridges
installation of very well insulations windows.

18. “Good TRANSPORT SERVICES and
communication linking people to jobs, school,
health and other services”
TRANSPORTATIO
N &
CONNECTIVITY
19. TRAM ROUTE
• A new direct light rail transit service links the settlement with the
city centre (17 minutes).
• Three tram stops serve Kronsberg, each within easy walking
distance of all homes, and providing a fast service to Hanover city
centre.
• The transport systems has been specially designed to enable
disabled access.
• The main motorised traffic flow is channelled along the edge of the
development beside the tramline to minimise nuisance to residents.
20. TRAFFIC CALMING
• In the residential area the car access is forbidden, except for Kronsberg
residents. Narrow sections on the roads, 30 kph zones, and priority to the
right at junctions, are effective traffic calming measures.
PARKING SPACE
• Car parking spaces are mainly arranged in small areas, either set into the
hill-side or at ground level.
• To reduce the parking space needs in the inner courts, a parking space
ratio of 0.8 per apartment was set at Kronsberg.
• This was compensated for by a 0.2 increase in the ratio for parking spaces
on the public streets, which means that they are better used over the day,
and the area needed for motorised access in built-up areas is reduced.
21. CYCLE PRIORITY LAYOUT
• A cycle-friendly street layout with a
designated cycle street running the
length of the district offers, together
with a dense network of rural and
urban footpaths, an attractive
alternative to private motorised
transport.
Cycle street
22. “Providing places for people to live in an
environmentally-friendly way”

T
23. • The quality of housing is an important consideration at
Kronsberg, and a variety of architects and developers
were engaged to design individual urban blocks within
the overall master plan to create variety and interest in
the buildings. ƒKronsberg provides an extensive range of
housing types, from small one-bedroomed apartments
to large family homes, catering for all ages and
circumstances, including the elderly and disabled.
• There is also a variety of tenures available across the
site including affordable housing with moderate rents,
low rent homes and owner-occupied residences.
HOUSING AND THE
BUILT
ENVIRONMENT
24. • The site has several well-used public open spaces including
two neighborhood parks, each with distinctive designs to help
define different areas of Kronsberg, and a number of children’s
play areas. Residents also have access to semiprivate
courtyards, and in many cases, to private gardens or terraces.
25. • The Kronsberg Water Concept deals with the effects that a large
development can have on the local water table, the necessity for
water conservation, and raising awareness of water issues through
visible systems.
• “The ‘Mulden-Rigolen’system for decentralized retention and
infiltration of rainwater” was used throughout Kronsberg to create
a system of retention and infiltration that would not cause large
changes to the local water ecology
• Of the daily usage of 142 L of drinking water per person in
Germany, most runs through the shower, bath, wash-basin and
toilet straight to the drains. Only about three liters are used either
for drinking, or for cooking. As water provider, the Hanover
Municipal Water-works is aiming to reduce that figure to 100 L per
person. Economy aerators have been installed in wash-basins.
These reduce water-consumption greatly, although it is barely
perceptible. Flow-limiters and flow stabilizers are also effective.
WATER
26.
27. • Within the framework of the Regional capital Hanover and
KUKA energy economy programme, each household will
receive two aerators free of charge. These economy measures
have had their effects in other directions too; the pipes for
drinking water are smaller than usual, and are laid exclusively
for drinking water and not, as is more often the case, also for
fire-fighting requirements.
28.
29. • All precipitation on built up and paved areas is absorbed,
collected and gradually released. Equipment of all apartments
with water devices. A rainwater management system collects
and treats rainwater on-site in ‘grassed hollows’ that run
alongside the pavements, before it flows into a retention area
and ultimately feeds into a nearby stream. Two ‘hillside
avenues’ running vertically through the scheme provide
additional retention areas during periods of heavy rainfall. An
attractive landscape feature, they also help raise awareness of
water issues to residents.
30.
31. • The Kronsberg Waste Management Concept includes building waste, and
domestic and commercial waste.
Construction waste
• The city of Hannover reached a contractual agreement with
developers to use exclusively environmentally compatible and
healthy building materials.
• For construction phase they required to sort building waste on site
• Signs were fixed to the various waste skips on site to make it clear
which waste belonged in which classification
• Developers are required to use materials for construction that are
non-toxic and recyclable, 80% of construction waste was not
landfilled.
WASTE
32.
33. COMMERCIALAND DOMESTIC WASTE
• The main component was setting up innovative
collection systems that is attractively designed
container parks close to the houses
• Owners of detach houses often compost organic
waste in their gardens.
• This can reduces waste volume of Kronsberg by
30% to 154 kg per person and year compared to
Hannover average of 219 kg per person and year
• Recycling stations for pre-separated waste such as
paper, packaging and organics, are situated through
the neighborhoods and underground glass recycling
bins help minimize the visual impact of such
facilities.
34. • Systems for pre-sorted waste collection, encouragement
of home composting, and encouragement for retailers to
use low-packaging retail goods were part of the domestic
and household waste plan, as well as a “dense network of
repair and alteration services” throughout the
development that encourage people to follow the motto
‘mend it, don’t dump it’.
