The esthetic potential of color-sorted post-consumer glass, not to mention specialty glass, has barely been explored at all and offers numerous novel applications for design professionals. 

A number of steam-operated devices were designed, experimented, and modified since its inception. The contributions of a number of persons, viz. deUa Porta, de Cans, Boyle, Marriotte, Otto von Guericke, Dennis Papin, and Thomas Savery, toward the stody of air and steam were invaluable for the invention of the steam engine. The first steam-operated device designed professionally for practical purpose is the pulsometer pump by Thomas Savery in 1698. This was a steam-operated pump used for excavation in mines. Saveiy s steam pump had no moving parts. Steam was admitted to an empty chamber and condensed. The...

Fourth, design professionalism combines the abiUty to be creative with the competence of visualization, the ability to analyze a field of use, the employment of a repertoire of models and technical knowledge and known concepts, and the abihty to analyze and synthesize the variety of problem-solution relations that define the space of socio-material outcomes. 

Fire Service Features of Buildings and Fire Protection Systems Explains how fire service operations can be influenced by different building features and offers considerations for design professionals that can help facilitate these operations. The manual includes chapters and narratives on building and site design, sprinkler systans, standpipe systems, fire department connections, fire alarm and conununications systans, as weU as various firefighting systems (OSHA 3256— 2006). 

Selecting environmentally friendly materials and products for construction is perhaps the most difficult challenge faced by design professionals today. It is difficult if not impossible to define a green building material or product as so few exist today. Some qualities of one set of ideal materials is that they are derived from renewable resources and recyclable in the sense that they can be composted and returned to nature as a nutrient. Clearly wood products, cotton, wool, jute, hemp, sisal, kenaf and many other materials have these qualities but they are not being recycled or composted in any meaningful way at present. Another set of ideal materials are derived from non-renewable...

Each of the following CPTED strategies offers guidelines that property owners, design professionals, and developers or remodelers may apply to reduce the fear and incidence of crime and improve the quality of life. There are four overlapping CPTED strategies. They include natural surveillance, natural access control, territorial reinforcement, and maintenance (Casteel and Peek-Asa, 2000).

Commissioning, as it applies to commercial and institutional construction, is in the early stages of development. This developmental process will span many years before it matures to the point that commissioning is well understood by owners, developers, design professionals, and contractors. 

Further, if discovery occurs before the construction contract is accepted as complete, the design professionals and contractors will bear the burden of taking corrective action and, generally, all related costs. When discovery occurs later, the owner inherits these responsibilities and costs with little or no recourse back to those responsible for the failure. 

To achieve the desired results, the owner must prepare a document which clearly defines the expectations for the design professionals. If the owner has a facilities design manual which is given to design professionals, all of the requirements should be covered in that publication. If there is no such manual, a commissioning document should be prepared. 

Predesign Conference. It is very important to have a predesign conference with the design professionals. This conference must include appropriate representatives from the owner s staff who will be responsible for review of the construction documents, construction oversight, start-up and commissioning, and operation and maintenance of the completed facihty. 

Regardless of the decision about the level of formal commissioning to be performed, the requirements for the construction documents should not change since all of the resulting information is critical to the successful operation of the facility by the owner s staff. The following paragraphs indicate requirements which are important to the owner under any circumstance, many of which have not heretofore been provided to the owner by the design professionals. 

These documents help to validate the design professional s understanding of the owner s design intent and operational expectations.
