The construction industry is responsible for high energy consumption, carbon dioxide emissions, extraction of non-renewable materials, and large generation solid waste in the world. use prefabricated, industrialized, technological methods can reduce environmental impacts generated. Aiming to confirm its benefits, research proposal was analyze sustainability a residential project Light Steel Fra...

Adv. Mater. 2008, 20, 1–4 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag Gmb Since its successful fabrication by cleavage in 2004, graphene has attracted great interest because of its novel properties and potential applications. All the existing fabrication methods, however, are limited to producing singleand multilayer graphene up to only a few tens of micrometers in dimension, which sometimes contain defects and impu...

The adsorption geometry of 1,3,5-tris(4-mercaptophenyl)benzene (TMB) on Cu(111) is determined with high precision using two independent methods, experimentally by quantitative low energy electron diffraction (LEED-I(V)) and theoretically by dispersion corrected density functional theory (DFT-vdW). Structural refinement using both methods consistently results in similar adsorption sites and geom...

The two ordered phases p(2 X 2) at a coverage 6’ = 0.25 and ifi X fi)R30” at 6 = 0.33 of potassium adsorbed on Ru(O~l) were analyzed by use of low-energy electron-diffraction (LEED). In the (A x fiJR30” phase, the K atoms occupy threefold hcp sites, while in the p(2 x 2) phase the fee site is favoured. In both phases, the K hard-sphere radii are nearly the same and close to the covalent Pauling...

Several compelling factors drive spread of green buildings. Growing tenant demand due to lower operating costs, higher worker productivity and reputational issues forces the real estate sector to adopt efficient building techniques. Overall, operating costs for leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified buildings are 8-9% lower than for regular buildings. Over the life cycle...

The goal of the paper is to evaluate impact selected factors on adoption LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) green building certification Europe. In empirical part we track fraction LEED-registered office space European cities, assess socioeconomic environmental rate. This research contributes ongoing debate about buildings commercial property markets. this paper, investigate a...
