These systems have been promoted as complete water management packages, which do not require expensive biocidal dosing and address concerns of health and safety (especially the potential proliferation of Legionella sp.) in the built environment. Some models incorporate facilities for proportional... 

To be fair, poor or limited precommission cleaning is not always the case the development of fast-track mechanical services, for HVAC and similar built environment projects, in the mid 1980s (especially for office tower blocks in the United Kingdom and other parts of Europe) is a case in point.

Chemicals produced by humans form the strands of a complex societal web. The network begins with the production of a single chemical that branches out into hundreds of uses. Several hundred chemicals can be used or created in the process of producing one final product. Practically every part of the built environment and industrial activity involves chemical products. While generating wealth and employment, chemical production provides countless valuable services to society from the manufacture of construction materials to the synthesis of life-saving pharmaceuticals.

Brasilite, as a term, also underscores how the built environment affects those who dwell in it. Compared to life in Rio and Sao Paulo, with their color and variety, the daily round in bland, repetitive, austere Brasilia must have resembled life in a sensory deprivation tank. The recipe for high-modernist urban planning, while it may have created formal order and functional segregation, did so at the cost of a sensorily impoverished and monotonous environment—an environment that inevitably took its toll on the spirits of its residents.

The ultimate goal for emission testing of building products or even built environments is to provide acceptable (healthy and comfortable) lAQ for the occupants. Through emission testing of products in laboratory situations, prediction of lAQs in real environments should become possible. SOPHIE is the first attempt at this prediction and the first attempt to include sensory evaluation and not merely chemical emission testing.

It should be said that integration of existing, extended, and newly built environments for one location and their further integration to a distributed overall environment results in a big software development process and project for tool construction/extension/integration within IMPROVE. The underlying question is practical as well as big and, therefore, needs software engineering and architectural knowledge. The solution we have achieved leaves the size and lucidity of textbook examples. 

Deterioration of materials in the built environment is one of the considerations with regard to the Justification for more stringent controls on anthropogenic pollution sources. There are both economic and aesthetic concerns involved reduced service life of common construction materials is primarily an economic consideration, while irreversible damage to art objects and historic buildings has a strong emotional context as well. 

The current capability for economic assessment of materials damage then depends heavily on the extrapolation of test conditions to the real world. The real world of today s built environment differs from both current and past testing conditions in many important ways. It is the purpose of this paper to explore these differences on a theoretical basis and to consider whether the concomitant uncertainties in the prediction of reduced service lives are tractable and whether Important biases are involved. 

Environmental security is determined by parameters of the natural environment (such as the quantity and quality of water, the quality of air and soil, soil, or the weather conditions) as well as by those of the built environment, or technical infrastructure. Therefore, parameters of both types of environment should be involved in environmental monitoring aimed at maintaining environmental security and sustainability. Parameters such as road traffic intensity should be monitored along with air pollution, flood or hurricane indicators, etc.
