Beyond the primary savings that come with reusing existing materials and infrastructure and avoiding demolition and new-construction costs, adaptive-reuse projects tend to have low acquisition costs and often have access to financing incentives. Well-planned adaptive-reuse projects can revitalize the busin...
We can support your new construction or remodeling project in all stages of the process: Application support Specifications for mechanical, electrical and plumbing requirements Revit®, STEP and CAD drawings available for pre-design planning Sustainability...
the redundancy protection mode of an electric power communication network should be configured based on the voltage level of power transmission lines, to balance security and costs and optimize Return On Investment
What Are Some Cost Risks When Building a New Home? Because of a longer timeline, costs may be added or increased when building a house. If possible, buyers should opt for a lump-sum contract, instead of acost-plus contract. A lump-sum contract specifies a fixed price for construction, p...
In Refs. [18,19], in light of the lack of electricity networks in remote and hard-to-reach areas due to the high construction costs of transmission lines, a hybrid system independent of the network is a good solution to meet electricity needs. Direct hydrocarbon proton-conducting solid oxide...
A brand-new home's maintenance and repair costs should be minimal; its construction materials, systems, and appliances should be up to the latest code and energy efficient; the floor plan andamenitiesshould meet the needs of contemporary living, and the place should be move-in ready. ...
Third, power equipment needs to have specific design characteristics for fast ramping, which requires considerable construction costs. For example, major components of the boiler such as the burner, the air heater, the air fan, and the fuel feeder must be designed to react rapidly in order to ...
This paper introduces an optimized DC–DC converter that employs a modified switched inductor-capacitor technique to achieve ultra-high voltage gain for renewable energy systems. The development is based on adding one cell of modified switched inductor (
If you purchase a home while it's being built, you may be able to customize certain features. Many builders give buyers the perk of designing aspects of the home to suit their tastes. The level of customization depends on the stage of construction. For instance, if the home hasn't been...
Three different scenarios for building construction, as well as three different energy system scenarios, are considered. The anticipated effects of climate change are also considered, based on the RCP 4.5 climate scenario [36]. The scenarios and system components are described in more detail below....
