...Ben M. Roberts; David Allinson; Kevin J. Lomas Purpose Accurate values for infiltration rate are important to reliably estimate heat losses from buildings. Infiltration rate is rarely measured directly, and instead is usually estimated using algorithms or data from fan pressurisation tests...

... only It is concluded that the FL-based model provides a veritable tool for the measurement of flood resilience at the level of the individual property, and with the potential to be further developed for larger scale applications, i.e. at the community or regional levels. Measurement...

... Buildings Law Light Measurement Disputes This is the third in a series of papers published in response to Pitts' (2000) call for a debate on the future of surveying practice in rights to light disputes. The first paper (Chynoweth, 2004) reviewed the methods employed by surveyors when measuring...

... provided that the measurements are always taken as a ratio of the chart area. There is no justification for using a work surface height of 850 mm, nor is there any evidence of justification for assuming that 1 foot‐candle of light is adequate for normal use but there is justification in legal terms...

.... Afterwards, site measurements to vacant residential building blocks on two different sites are carried out to collect radon levels contained in the air within the buildings. The major purpose of this measurement is to find out the relationship between radon concentration and residential building designs...

...Paul Chynoweth Purpose The paper examines the origins of the so‐called “grumble point” (a sky factor of 0.2 per cent) as the measure of daylight adequacy in rights to light disputes. It seeks to identify the rationale, and underlying scientific basis, for the adoption of this standard in the early...

.... Reference is made to the circumstances in which the grumble point of 0.2 per cent was calculated and to the method of measuring this accurately with the aid of a Waldram diagram. Comments are invited from readers to continue the debate. © MCB UP Limited 2000 Perhaps the time has come to reconsider...

... features of the programme to reduce radon exposures in existing housing, which is based on encouraging occupiers to measure radon levels in their homes and publicising the availability of cheap and effective remedies. The important role is noted of professional groups such as surveyors in the housing...

...Clive Williams Briefly outlines the nature of vibrations and some of the factors to be considered in their measurement and analysis. Acts as an introduction to the surveyor or engineer who does not normally deal with vibrations, but who is aware that he may experience problems with them. © MCB UP...
