How Dual Flush Toilets Work " Dual flush toilets handle solid and liquid waste differently from standard American style toilets, giving the user a choice of flushes.

It's an interactive toilet design that helps conserve water that has caught on quickly in countries where water is in short supply, like Australia, and in areas where water supply and treatment facilities are older or overtaxed. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports that by the year 2013, an estimated 36 states will experience water shortages as a result of increased water usage and inefficient water management from aging regional infrastructures.

Using less water to flush liquid waste makes sense, but in the United States there may be cultural biases that make accepting a more hands-on approach to personal waste harder to accept [source: Safe Plumbing]. For a time, toilets were called necessaries, one in a long line of euphemisms used to describe the business end of handling a simple biological process. YS Development - Modern Sustainable Design.

Architectural Design, Production Building, Analysis and Planning Unit Price Cost Budget How to know the cost of consulting, architectural design costs (home), the cost of production to make buildings and Budget Planning & Cost. To explain these three things, of course not enough just with words, because all three are technically it should be accompanied by examples of its application. Architectural Design Fees Design cost is the cost to be incurred by consumers in a certain amount agreed upon in exchange for services performed by architects / planners to design a house or building architecture.

Determination of the design cost is usually determined by two things, namely: If the architect only makes the design, the design fee amount = 3% of Production Cost Buildings. If the architect to design and conduct supervision (surveillance) on the implementation and production of these buildings, the fee amount is determined based on the percent / percentage of its production cost structure.

Design: Earth-Sheltered Houses | LTGovernors.com - Energy & Power | Information Portal. Energy & Power There are two basic types of earth-sheltered housing—underground and “bermed” (or banked with earth). Certain characteristics such as the location and soils of your site, the regional climate, and design preferences are central to which type will work best for you. Underground housing means an entire structure built below grade or completely underground. A bermed structure may be above grade or partially below grade, with outside earth surrounding one or more walls. From these two basic types, three general designs have been developed. Atrium (or courtyard) plan—an underground structure where an atrium serves as the focus of the house and the entry into the dwelling;elevational plan, a bermed structure that may have a glass south-facing entry; and thePenetrational plan, which is built above or partially above grade and is bermed to shelter the exterior walls that are not facing south.

By Alan Graham 02/13/2004 When some people hear the words "home automation," they think about the Jetsons or multi-million-dollar concept homes of the future. Others think home automation is just a geek fantasy that wouldn't add any real value to their lives.

They would be wrong. Home automation is actually relatively affordable to set up. Why Home Automation? Have you ever been interested in: Having more control over lighting levels on lamps and fixtures without dimmers? All of this (and much more) is possible, but to get a better "real world" idea of the value of home automation, let's take a look at how it is used in my house. My Setup First Floor: I have light controllers on the front porch lights, the stair lights, and in the living room. Second Floor: There are light controllers on all of the lights in the nursery, on the landing light, and in my office. Basement: The basement has a light controller on the switch. How Do We Use It? Turns on the living room lights. Why?
