The only remaining drawback to this kind of thermal mass solar architecture is the absence of a basement, as in any slab-on grade design. The Kachadorian floor design is a direct-gain passive solar system, but its thermal mass also acts as an indirect heating (or cooling) element, giving up its heat at night.
Electrical wiring is an electrical installation of cabling and associated devices such as switches, distribution boards, sockets, and light fittings in a structure. Wiring is subject to safety standards for design and installation. Allowable wire and cable types and sizes are specified according to the circuit operating voltage and electric ...
In the lower middle is the capacitor. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning ( HVAC) is the use of various technologies to control the temperature, humidity, and purity of the air in an enclosed space. Its goal is to provide thermal comfort and acceptable indoor air quality.
Underfloor heating. Underfloor heating and cooling is a form of central heating and cooling that achieves indoor climate control for thermal comfort using hydronic or electrical heating elements embedded in a floor. Heating is achieved by conduction, radiation and convection. Use of underfloor heating dates back to the Neoglacial and Neolithic ...
A furnace ( American English ), referred to as a heater or boiler in British English, is an appliance used to generate heat for all or part of a building. Furnaces are mostly used as a major component of a central heating system. Furnaces are permanently installed to provide heat to an interior space through intermediary fluid movement, which ...
Mechanical systems drawing is a type of technical drawing that shows information about heating, ventilating, air conditioning and transportation around the building (Elevators or Lifts and Escalator). [ 1] It is a powerful tool that helps analyze complex systems. These drawings are often a set of detailed drawings used for construction projects ...
A former Stasi basement hallway. Cellars are often used in pubs to keep beer barrels connected to the bar at ground level. A basement or cellar is one or more floors of a building that are completely or partly below the ground floor. [ 1] Especially in residential buildings, it often is used as a utility space for a building, where such items ...
Mechanical room in a large office building. A mechanical room, [ 1] boiler room or plant room is a technical room or space in a building dedicated to the mechanical equipment and its associated electrical equipment, as opposed to rooms intended for human occupancy or storage. Unless a building is served by a centralized heating plant, the size ...
