in this research, we investigated basic symptoms of syndrome in illnesses of sick buildings. we designed a questionnaire and asked from male of dormitory residence. questions of the questionnaire were more about known symptoms of buildings (shortness of breath, inflammation, swelling and burning eyes, runny nose, malaise and fatigue, drowsiness, headache) exacerbations time intervals in the res...

The building sector accumulates approximately a third of the final energy consumption. Consequently, the improvement of the energy efficiency in buildings has become an essential instrument in the energy policies to ensure the energy supply in the mid to long term moreover is the most cost-effective strategy available for reducing carbon dioxide emissions This paper is studying the main objecti...

INTRODUCTION In the large-scale case-control study EPILIFT, we investigated the dose-response relationship between lifestyle factors (weight, smoking amount, cumulative duration of different sports activities) and lumbar disc disease. METHODS In four German study regions (Frankfurt am Main, Freiburg, Halle/Saale, Regensburg), 564 male and female patients with lumbar disc herniation and 351 pa...

Background and purpose: Vibration caused by ventilation systems in buildings is one of the harmful physical factors that can cause harm to residents. Therefore, measuring and controlling vibration is important. Materials and Methods:  In the first step of the study, the vibration accelerometer was placed on the base of a fan where the vibrations were sent toward the duct wall. A vibration asse...

The setting for this case study is the Dolph Briscoe, Jr. Library, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, a health sciences campus with medical, dental, nursing, health professions, and graduate schools. During 2008-2009, major renovations to the library building were completed including office space for a faculty development department, multipurpose classrooms, a 24/7 study ...

iran’s culture is changing, and by these changes preference of fit body usually thin body is growing up among women. paying too much attention to fitness is the result of consuming society, and to reach fitness and to have acceptable body size, women try different ways such as body building, aerobic, and etc. so presented study is performed to know about related social factors with women’s tend...

User requirements, building codes, construction rules and regulations imply constraints on a building design. Additional constraints are introduced by the different participants of the collaborative planning process through the individual body of knowledge representing their particular domain. Checking digital building models for compliance with these constraints allows detecting design errors ...

in some climates, massive buildings made of stone, masonry, concrete, earth and … can be utilized as one of the simplest and most effective ways of reducing building heating and cooling loads. very often such savings could be achieved in the design stage of the building and with a relatively low-cost. such declines in building envelope heat losses combined with optimized material configuration ...
