Daylighting and Advanced Daylighting in Interiors
INTRODUCTION:
Before the invention of electricity, the luminosity of the buildings relied on window an openings placement of the building to used the most of readily available daylight. That’s the reason why architects were trying to use the most of daylight in interiors by paying lots of attention to the openings placement in the building. Back in time Egyptians used daylight for controlling the temperature of the inside by using lattice and screens in different size. In Rome the houses were built around the courtyard and were surrounded by living space to maximize available daylight penetration. Now a days in newly concerning societies about global warming, high carbon foot print and many other nature threading matters It is very important for the architects to make a provision of daylight in a building. The main goal of architecture is always been creating a great and wide space to have daylight in building interiors. If the architects use daylight strategy in designing the buildings specially offices, lots of electrical energy will be saved and will improve occupant productivity and health. This research has covered the daylighting and advanced daylighting principles, Daylighting systems and their details, Controlling lighting in response to daylight, and using tools to design for daylight. Daylight is more useful than natural light, so in architecture and designing the buildings daylight is an important option not only it can reduce electricity consumption and save energy but also controls the cooling and heating loads too. Light strategy depends on natural light, the latitude of the building and conditions that the building is surrounded with.

Light shelves:
It is being placed inside or outside of the facade, and it is used for horizontal windows and it is being used to redirect light to the interior .Its location depends on room configuration, ceiling height, and eye level of a person standing in the space. Having light shelves as low as possible will allow large amount of light in. Internal light shelves reduce the amount of light in comparison with non shaded window. Light shelves need special design and we must have a high ceiling .Light shelves do not perform in east and south orientations and in climates by overcast sky conditions.
...ted downwards and not spread out into the atmosphere. This procedure can capture the excessive light and could help with improving these atmospheric particles that cause the blurring in the sky. Also if someone cant sleep without a night lamp, buying a colored one would be better. The darker the color is the less exposure it has and uses less energy.
After watching Finding Dawn, my impression of the film documentary had hit me hard, especially due the fact that I am a female and strikes me to empathize with women who have who are treated like a ghosts by the government. No one wants to be have that treatment to them. You have to have no ounce of humanity in you to ignore the issue, specifically indigenous women, who have to put their lives at risk in order to survive because of a systemic discrimination that constantly ignores this part of society that where recognition is lacking.
In this treatment, two types of laser beams are utilized. First is an erbium YAG laser and the other is a carbon dioxide laser. YAG laser was used earlier which is now replaced by the modern type carbon dioxide laser.

As the environmental problems become more and more serious these years, especially that intense negative impact that buildings in modern cities bring to the cities, the concept of Green Building is being more and more important considered by local and federal government. According to the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), a green building is one that utilizes design and construction practices that significantly reduce or eliminate the negative impact of buildings on the environment and the building's occupants. Besides the more and more advanced building structure and technology, the main goal of green building is to protect the health of the occupants, save energy and reduce pollution to environment. There are many certifications of green buildings to judge whether the building meets the standard of green buildings and what environmental performance level is this building at, to help government regulators, building professionals and consumers to see better how this building can be improved and what is its impact on human beings and environment. Such green building programs include Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star program, National Association of Home Builders (NAHB Green), etc. Among them, LEED is one of the most popular certification programs that give the building credits for its environmental performance. In this essay, I will discuss the costs and benefits of different types of building projects that were certified by LEED.
Light, in any form, is arguably one of the most important features of design. This one element can be the difference between “good” and “great” work. Sconces have provided a source of light for thousands of years. Whether wooden or metal, these brackets affixed to walls are designed to illuminate a space and serve as decoration. In the earliest form, a simple wooden torch would fit into a bracket already attached to the wall. While some functioned to stay on the wall, others were removable so the torch could be used to enhance the lighting on certain objects in the room. Although it is apparent that the technology behind sconces has developed over time, a closer look will reveal how the progression has affected interior spaces.
The First basic principle of feng shui is human are affected by their surrounding. People are connected to the environment in ecological term. Despite the fact, human live is fill with physical, mental health, personal and professional relationship, home and work performance which effected by the position of buildings, views, landscaping, color, lighting, shapes of structures, and even furniture arrangement. Then, Feng shui as a language of symbol is the second basic principle. Ancient feng shui master would analyze and interpret feng shui by identifying configuration of lakes, stream, rivers and the meaning of mountain shapes. In advanced feng shui, it clarifies how the shape of house or hill, bed or desk position, road or river direction, building or home decoration, until the color of the leaf. The third principle of feng shui is a form of literal metaphysics that emerges through mixture of Chinese philosophy, folk cures, religion and early science. In order to create living environments that replicate harmony of nature, it needed understanding of how ch’I (natural energy) works, and human nature. Ultimately, feng shui is used to improve human ch’I by adjusting, enhancing and balancing environmental ch’i. The development of feng shui design has various type of practice because influenced by cultures, science, and technology for thousand years since feng shui was emerged.
In developing this contemporary and iconic building, the design focuses on practical attributes and optimises energy efficiency. The design strategy encapsulates four key aspects:
Ever since Ancient Rome, the art and science of interior design has been at work. From then unto the Renaissance up until modern times, almost every room, whether it’s in a house, a corporate building, or a restaurant, has had an interior designer come in and worked on the room, making it functional for the people using it while also still being eye-catching. However the terms interior designer and interior decorator are used interchangeably, which is not the case. While interior decorators only choose furnishings and accessories to make a place look pleasing, interior designers study people’s behaviors and apply technical solutions in order to create a space that’s efficient for its use as well as attractive. Interior design has impacted every historical period in the way each culture lives all the way through modern times. Although the Renaissance period is said to have been the start of modern interior design as the practice became more striving, it is only recently in the early 20th century that interior design has actually become a profession. When designing a room, an interior designer can use their creativity to come up with whatever design is believed to be the best option and there is never a “right” or “wrong” design. However, there are still things that every interior designer must learn and follow as they experiment with their different ideas. One has to learn to use the fundamentals of the practice well in order to make the most out of it and successfully create a room that flows well with practicality as well as style. The fundamentals of interior design can also enhance intellective creativity and reasoning of the functionality of a space by exploring different concepts, creating accurately scaled and modeled floor...
Well-recognized cities worldwide have built over the years great buildings with a variety of designs and concepts however consequently too much building has been making grievous decrease on energy efficiency. Now, “Green Architecture” has been popularized and as a result a modicum of energy efficiency has increased and also it has substantiated a new perspective, a new versatile way on architecture.
Interior design is one of the most important professions. When thinking of design and architecture industry, it is necessary to keep in mind that the professionals emphasis on matters of everyday life when commencing a project. Important sectors of interior design consist of: residential, commercial, hospitality, healthcare, education and corporate designs. Thus, the field deals with numerous factors and affects almost everyone in some way. Design is goal-oriented– it strives to achieve a certain purpose. An essential goal of interior design is to create functional spaces that convey a specific mood for an audience using design elements, thus outlining a design for communities versus individuals.
This usually entails the manipulation of texture, proportion and the setting pleasant utilization of sunshine with the intention to realize symmetry, harmony and an accurate equilibrium in complete human life. The essential ideas of good design are pure and to an enormous extent innate. When analyzing the universal properties of sunshine, house, colour and supplies, the inside designer appears to be like at the interplay of the natural legal tips that govern them. The precise design of a room works not only on the customarily ignored senses of odor and listening to but additionally on the emotions. Coloration schemes are selected to copy the mood of a room. Understanding how every side of a design contributes to a common look and feel of a room or area constantly takes precise experience and each architects and designers manipulate these to good
Despite the fact that novel technologies are continuously under development to complement existing practices in coming up with greener buildings, the universal intent is that such structures are designed to diminish the general effect on the built environment on health of the humans in addition to the natural environment via: Diminishing environmental degradation, pollution and waste, improving productivity of the employee and guarding occupant health, efficient usage of water, energy, in addition to other resources.
The beginnings of today's green revolution can be traced back to the environmental awareness of the 1960s and European design. New construction techniques have lead to the development of innovative materials and design concepts. Green buildings are designed, constructed and commissioned to ensure they are healthy for their occupants. Successfully designed green projects can involve an extensive array of factors, ranging from the resourceful use of materials, to careful consideration of function, climate, and location.
Fiber optics is a new technology that uses rays of light instead of electricity to transmit information over optical fibers at very high speeds. The optical fibers are usually thin strands of glass that are combined into cables and used to send information and computer data in the form of pulses of light. The optical fibers provide much clearer transmission than conventional copper cable and satellite links. The world market for optical fiber continues to grow rapidly, with shipments increasing 14 percent from an estimated 7.0 million kilometers of fiber in 1990 to approximately 8.0 million in 1991. The demand for multimode fiber is predicted to continue to expand through the mid-1990s, with some market analysts indicating that 15 to 20 percent annual growth over the next three years is reasonable. Strong demand is expected for singlemode and multimode fiber to be used in cables for local area networks, telecommunications, cable television (CATV), and transoceanic fiber-optic systems.
