Integrating Sustainability Strategies in Design and Practice - ادماج استراتجي...Galala University
As sustainability is becoming more and more a familiar topic in engineering practice and education, the problem remains on how to achieve sustainability in front of client, cost and construction industry challenges. The lecture proposes the integration of sustainability in design process, education and legislation. The lecture focuses on sustainability strategies that can be incorporated in practice and design process. The goal is to make sustainability an integral part of practice that influences both design and construction stages. Other attempts should be made to make sustainability an integral part of legislation and education.
This slides tells about civil engineering. How Do Geography & Weather Affects Our Built Surroundings. Study and analysis of Geographical & Climatic, Politico-religious, Socio-cultural Issues Influencing Architecture.
amount of energy used is equal to amount of renewable energy created on the site
reduce carbon emissions & reduce dependence on fossil fuels
Buildings that produce a surplus of energy over the year are called “Energy Surplus Buildings”
During the last 20 years more than 200 reputable projects claiming net zero energy balance have been realized all over the world.
NZEB buildings consequently contribute less overall greenhouse gas to the atmosphere than similar non-ZNE buildings. They do at times consume non-renewable energy and produce greenhouse gases, but at other times reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas production elsewhere by the same amount. Traditional buildings consume 40% of the total fossil fuel energy in all over the world and are significant contributors of greenhouse gases.
The term “Vernacular architecture” in general refers to the informal building of structures through traditional building methods without using the services of a professional architect. It is the most widespread form of building .
Vernacular architecture has been growing over time with continuities changes, transformations and adaptations to the different social and economic conditions of each period.

The City Resilience Framework is a unique framework developed by Arup with support from the Rockefeller Foundation, based on extensive research in cities. It provides a lens to understand the complexity of cities and the drivers that contribute to their resilience. Looking at these drivers can help cities to assess the extent of their resilience, to identify critical areas of weakness, and to identify actions and programs to improve the city’s resilience.

APM webinar hosted by the North West Branch on 28 February 2024.
Speaker - Ruth Wallsgrove
This webinar was on Asset Management for Project Managers, by a leading AM trainer and advisor who works with the UK IPA and others on how to incorporate whole life thinking into design and construction projects. This webinar was held on 28 February 2024.
Decisions made during inception, design and delivery of projects can have significant impacts future operating and maintenance cost, and overall return in on investment.
Typically project costs only represent 10 to 20% of the total cost of an asset through its life time but are often the main focus in investment decisions.
Considering return on investment, how do we practically take into account the total cost of ownership – when the operation and maintenance of physical assets may cost many times the original construction cost? How do we optimise what we design for operability, maintainability and reliability, when getting any of those wrong only make the lifecycle more expensive and risky? How is Asset Management crucially different from but complementary to what we already do?

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

MANAGEMENT ISSUES
Consider management as early as possible - Management options
should be considered at the outset to ensure that the design is
viable in the long term. Design decisions should be made in full
knowledge of how and by whom they will be maintained.
Consider Phasing - Where developments are planned to evolve over a
long period of time, consideration should be given to how assets will be
transferred sequentially from developers to the community.
6. 5STREETS AND ROADS
Streets make up a large part of people’s experience of a place.
They are the main location where people interact.
OPEN SPACE
Research in 2001 found that only 18 per cent of parks were considered to
be in good condition .Research shows that parks and green spaces have a
range of benefits, including improving mental health and general well-
being, and raising the economic value of a neighbourhood indicating that
open space can have a significant impact on quality of life.
7. 6
The mass transportation of food is responsible for almost a quarter of all
heavy goods vehicle activity on UK roads . Allotments and community
gardens can help to reduce this, as well as providing a valued community
resource.
CAR PARKING
How car parking is managed will depend on its location .Where car parking
is on the street, and spaces are not allocated to specific owners, it is generally
adopted by the highways authority. Where car parking is located on
unadopted surfaces, as in the case of communal car parking managed by
development trusts or a management company.
ALLOTMENTS AND COMMUNITY GARDENS
BUILDINGS
The uses of community buildings can range from recreation,leisure and
sports to crèches, education, health, training and community
workspace. The buildings provide a secure base for community
organisations. They can also be a local resource to generate income.
8. 7WATER
Management of water is a key issue, with increasing concerns over
flooding and the need to reduce water consumption. Good design and
management can turn waste water into an asset.
For example, sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) can enhance
the landscape and canals can be bought back into use to create attractive
waterside locations.
Maintenance costs for Lightmoor Village SUDS scheme are generated from residents’ service
charges
9. 8WASTE
The challenge with waste is to encourage people to reuse and
recycle materials. This involves more than just designing
convenient places for people to take their recycling. The places
need to be safe and clean to visit, and users need information on
what they can do.
ENERGY
Energy service companies (ESCOs) or multi-utility service companies (MUSCOs)
can be set up to create and operate low-carbon, resource-efficient energy They
can be managed by a combination of local authorities, private companies and
development trusts.
A joint venture between the local authority and an energy management company
10. 9SKILLS AND RESOURCES
SKILLS
Where assets are handed over to the community, it will be necessary to build
local capacity. Groups will need skills in financial planning and
governance, as well as other specialist skills. Where significant specialist
skills are required, it is usually a more effective use of time and resources to
buy them in from an external body. Where minimal training is required to
enable assets to be maintained, it may be possible to develop these within the
community.
There are many different ways of generating income to fund management
initiatives. Two of the most common and effective are cross subsidy and
management fees.
MANAGEMENT FEES
Collecting fees from residents is a common source of income for a wide
range of initiatives, including the maintenance of open space, communal
buildings and streets.
RESOURCES
12. Selecting the right management regime is key to creating a successful place
Consideration should also be given to the impact a management structure
will have on how a community works.
There are many different management structures that can be used to achieve
similar results. No one structure fits a specific model or project.
Project objectives
What is the management structure intended to achieve?
1
1
Involvement of parties
Who will be involved, and how?
Are there skills available to run a management option?
How will they be engaged?
13. Decision making
In standard management companies set up by developers, shares may pass to
occupiers but their voting may not be enfranchised until a trigger is met. This can
allow developers to influence or control voting while they still hold a financial
interest.
1
2
Land transfers
land transfer will be critical. It will be necessary to consider issues relating to values
and to the amount of control that is required during the development period.
Liabilities
there might be statutory liabilities such as leasehold rights or service charges that
need to be built into the structure.
Funding
A management structure may be subject to challenge if it wants to make a service
charge to provide contingence for future liabilities. It may be possible to impose
charges on freehold and leasehold interests, but they are limited in relation to the
sums that can be recovered.
Exit
Often developers or landowners will want to exit the structure at a particular point in
time, when they are certain it is capable of going forward robustly or development
has hit a certain trigger.
14. Liabilities, legal structures and powers
Limited company
Advantages
Protects individuals from liability
Companies limited by guarantee are easy for members to enter or exit, and often
more appropriate for public-sector involvement
Regulation and reporting requirements create transparency
1
3
Disadvantages
Statutory regulation can be onerous for directors who could be subject to personal liability
for breach of duties and responsibilities in certain circumstances
When to use
Often used as the basis for other management structures such as trusts, community
interest companies or common hold associations
for more standard management arrangements (for example, for single buildings or small
estates)
Good for managing elements of the public realm, off-street car parking, communal
buildings and communication infrastructure
15. Community interest company (CIC)
Advantages
Clear status for the benefit of the community
Regulation and disclosure requirements provide transparency
Disadvantages
Regulation and reporting requirements may be burdensome
When to use
For managing assets where there is a direct benefit to the community
services at a local level for example environmental improvements,
community transport and fair trade
Good for managing properties to generate high levels of rent, which is used
to fund the maintenance of public spaces for the benefit of the community
1

16. Trust
Advantages
Trust property is usually an independent fund available only for the
beneficiaries
Disadvantages
Decision making can be onerous. Trustees can be personally liable for
decisions in certain circumstances
Trustees are unable to delegate powers.
Unless formed as a company, a trust is not a separate legal entity and cannot
own property in its own right
When to use
Trusts can be useful where it is necessary to protect assets
• Community development trusts are commonly set up to manage assets for the
community (although they can often be quasi-trusts)

17. Establishing a trust
Bournville Village Trust
It includes an exceptionally wide range of
housing provision, especially new housing with
particular emphasis on quality, energy saving,
regeneration, special needs and housing for
people with disabilities.
BVT is made up of five committees: Housing
Services, Estate Management and Scheme

Encouraging community management
Relatioship between people and places
Create Walkable Neighborhoods
Have legible streets and connected
activities such as schools, shops
Encourage local trips to be made by
walking and cycling by having direct
routes to activities
Establishing child care fasilities, Setting up
car-sharing schemes,having abus stop
moved near a community center,having a
pedestrian crossing provided on a busy
road, keeping a local police station
24. Keeping places safe
Road design
Separate pedestrians.
Lower vehicle speeds.
Improve road way lighting.
Create pedestrian zones.
Encourage mass transit.
Land-use planning
Redesign cities that put facilities in close proximity.
Walking is free and has great
health benefits - especially walking
to school & local services
Walkways may be shared: walking,
cycling, prams, scooters
Walking routes should be safe –
road crossings, pavement surface
Cycling facilities important to
encourage use – lockers, showers,
maps

25. Well located and convenient
public transport to encourage use
over private vehicles
Shelters and signage important &
accessibility to bus/train/tram
People that use public transport
also walk to the train/bus stop

26. surveillance and safety
Create safe environments for
activity
Perceptions of safety are a major
influence for people’s willingness to
be active
Pathways should also be safe to
minimize falls and injuries
