Title: Thermal simulation of different construction types in six climatic regions on heating and cooling loads Authors: Kumirai, T; Bole, S; Conradie, DCU Abstract: A thermal simulation model was prepared for a “typical” suburban building of 120 square meters and nine different passive designs were simulated to evaluate their impact on the heating and cooling load.

Title: Introductory guide to foundations Authors: Donaldson, GW; Billingham, PA Abstract: The words ‘built on a firm foundation' have become part of the language and most people would unhesitatingly agree that a house has to have a foundation' without perhaps understanding exactly why. If one were to place an open wooden box upside down on a patch of soft soil and load with bricks it would not be long before the edges sank into the ground. On the other hand if the box were the right way up it would probably hardly sink at all.

Title: Introductory guide to quiet in the home Authors: Ferreira, T Abstract: Home owners often complain that traffic noise disturbs their indoor peace and quiet. It is difficult, expensive and probably unnecessary to make the whole house soundproof. To appreciate and apply the practical tips that follow later, it is necessary to know some facts about acoustics and understand how and where sound penetrates the house.
