Thank You Program Wording

Come piume al Wind

A man of God, on his deathbed, was visited by
a person who spoke ill of him all his life.
"I'm sorry - he said - I would ask forgiveness and
in some way to remedy harm done."
"I forgive you - said the man of God -
but I ask you to do me a favor first of my death.
Get off my pillow and remove all the feathers,
then throw them out the window. "
The other did so.
" Now return to the valley "
- continued the man of God -
" But it is impossible "
- cried the other.
" Exactly ...
maldicense ... so is the spread between humans,
can be forgiven, but
may not be withdrawn "

How To Replace Lock On Truck Tool Box

Fair Competition - The 2009




4th Prize of Architecture "Ernesto Lusana"
CONCORSO NAZIONALE DI PROGETTAZIONE
“La casa leggera 2009”

PROGETTO DI UN EDIFICIO SPERIMENTALE DI 15 ALLOGGI DI EDILIZIA RESIDENZIALE NEL COMUNE DI ITRI (Latina)


Il progetto è concepito come aggregazione condominiale di abitazioni monofamiliari all’interno di una conformazione “solida ma non invasiva”, capace di imporre elevati standard energetici e di ottimizzare il consumo di risorse sia attraverso dotazioni impiantistiche efficienti ed innovative, sia mediante la condivisione di spazi, servizi e attrezzature accessorie ma, indispensabili per il funzionamento e la gestione del vivere quotidiano.
L’unità tipo presenta un fronte più compatto a nord and a more articulate in the south, with large windows adequately shielded from projections of the balconies and stairwells, to reduce the daylight during the summer and encourage contributions free winter. Terraces and roof gardens contribute to passive cooling of the house while the two north-south facing ensures cross ventilation required.
The enclosure is designed to provide high standard thermo-hygrometer, acoustic and lighting in relation to the climate zone they belong to.
Inside Housing has flexibility and freedom of internal organization to the concept of open-space of the living area.
While still living condition of the building has a sort of collective dwelling configuration, which appears in the right balance between intimacy, comfort and sociability of spaces, the articulation of solids and voids, enables owners to enjoy the space in ever new ways and transform them in their home .
The building matching funds to the outside and green thanks to the character of openness that takes through the many galleries, balconies, porches and garden terraces that go to make up for the small outdoor areas offered by the availability of free land.
Through the identification of environmental features, peculiarities of climate and landscape quality of the site, in addition to the identification of the elements critical and potentially disruptive effect on the environment, it was possible to optimize the project looking for the best exposure.

The apartment complex is located between Via Enrico de Philip, and route and consists of volumes of maximum height of four storeys above ground, so it integrates seamlessly with the shares of the surrounding buildings.
pedestrian access to the lot is located at Via de Filippo, while the driveway is located on Via Enrico. From here you can reach the parking area for residents, one of which is put to use disabled. The 15
accommodation requests from various sizes, were designed using the principles of adaptability provided for residential dalla Legge n°13 del 1989. Mentre al piano primo sarà posizionato l'alloggio accessibile a disabili (vedi 5% stabilito da normativa), raggiungibile, come per gli altri livelli, tramite scala di collegamento dotata di apposito servoscala.
Gli spazi interni sono stati tutti dimensionati con la metratura minima richiesta dal D.M. Del 5 luglio del 1975 ed il rapporto aero-illuminante dei vani rispetta il valore minimo di 1/8 di superficie di pavimento.



CARATTERISTICHE DI SOSTENIBILITA'

Comfort termico
- Isolamento con rivestimento a cappotto in materiale naturale (ad esempio fibre di cellulosa) traspirante (parete nord)
- Rivestimento esterno in cotto per la formazione di parete ventilata (pareti coibentate con fibra naturale a sud, est e ovest)
- Finestre in lega metallica e a taglio termico
- Tetti giardino per abbattimento escursione termica delle coperture.

Comfort acustico
- isolamento acustico tramite appositi feltri isolanti.

Risparmio energetico
- Pannelli solari fotovoltaici: sono dispositivi costituiti da un materiale semiconduttore, il più diffuso dei quali è il silicio, in grado di convertire l'energia solare direttamente in energia elettrica mediante effetto fotovoltaico. Una piccola utenza come quella di una famiglia ha bisogno di all'incirca 3Kw di potenza giornaliera che può essere produced an area of \u200b\u200babout 23/25 square meters of multi-crystalline silicon panels currently on the market. Thanks to the "tariff", a European program of incentives for operating expenses of the production of electricity from solar energy using photovoltaic systems permanently connected to the mains, you can amortize the cost of installing the system and to cancel the electricity bill for those who use them.

- Solar thermal: a system are able to transform the energy radiated by the sun into heat energy, or heat, which can be used in everyday uses such as heating water for the operation or the heating of the environments. All equipment used for users home are those at low temperatures, which can reach temperatures up to 120 ° C inside the panel. For best performance we recommend a storage system with condensing boilers which allow less heat loss of the stored water. In the project the panels were integrated into the balcony railings, serving also as comfortable shelters for the sidewalks below. These panels and vacuum technology have been installed 2 for each dwelling, or the amount required for the production of hot water for a typical family.

- floor heating, automatic control of temperature conditions. This technology has the advantage of operating with a temperature well below the radiators to walls (29/35 ° C 60/80 ° C against the radiators). You will then need less energy to heat water, thus allowing easier use of renewable energy. Generators can be used as biomass boilers or connection to district heating network.

Saving water resource
- devices collection and recycling of stormwater: it allows the reuse of rainwater for irrigation of gardens, for the discharge of water from the toilet, for holes, for washing 'car or as cooling water of air conditioning. In tali sistemi, normalmente, il tetto dell'edificio funge da superficie di raccolta e l'acqua piovana, attraverso appositi pluviali, viene convogliata in un serbatoio di riserva inserendo dei filtri per eliminare il materiale in sospensione (foglie, detriti, polline, sabbia...) trasportato dalle acque captate.
Il serbatoio può trovarsi in cantina, nei pressi della stazione di pompaggio, così come interrato o esterno in giardino, mentre il filtro potrà trovarsi in un pozzetto a parte apposito oppure all'interno del serbatoio.
L'acqua immagazzinata viene poi convogliata attraverso un'apposita pompa ed un sistema di tubature, separato da quello dell'acqua potabile, agli impianti di consumo quali scarichi del water, lavatrice or watering the garden. Finally, the system is completed by reducing valves such as the release and retention of rainwater coming from the overflow drain.
The formula used to determine the volume of rainwater that can accumulate in a year is as follows:
(average annual rainfall) x (collection surface) x (runoff coefficient).
