Synopsis

Skyscraper Wind Design examines the critical interplay between wind and tall buildings, offering insights for creating resilient high-rise structures. It highlights how early skyscrapers faced wind-related challenges, leading to retrofits and failures, while modern design employs wind tunnel testing and computational modeling for proactive solutions. The book stresses the importance of integrating architectural aesthetics with structural engineering to create safe, sustainable, and economically viable skyscrapers.

 
The book progresses from fundamental aerodynamic principles to design strategies like aerodynamic shaping and damping systems. Emphasizing a holistic approach, it uniquely combines quantitative data from wind tunnel tests with qualitative design principles. For example, the orientation and spacing of buildings in urban planning significantly impacts wind patterns.

 
The book analyzes wind tunnel testing, compares structural systems under wind loads, and studies iconic skyscrapers. It is a resource for architects and engineers, promoting innovation and resilience in the built environment by addressing ongoing debates, such as the balance between structural stiffness and flexibility.

ISO 50001 - A strategic guide to...

Alan Field

Reduce energy costs and combat climate change with ISO 50001
ISO 50001:2018, the international standard for energy management, provides a framework for organisations – both large and small – to manage and reduce their energy usage and associated costs. Implementing an effective EnMS (energy management system) that complies with ISO 50001 ensures that an organisation can:

- Meet legal and contractual energy compliance requirements;
- Save money by managing energy more efficiently;
- Reduce its carbon footprint;
- Increase energy security; and
- Demonstrate a commitment to improved energy performance.
With energy security concerns rising and climate change an existential threat, consumers are increasingly aware of sustainability issues.
ISO 50001 – A strategic guide to establishing an energy management system provides a practical but strategic overview for leadership teams of what an EnMS is and how implementing one can bring added value to an organisation. It:

- Explains how ISO 50001:2018 (which is based on ISO's Annex SL) differs from the previous version of the Standard;
- Provides readers with a greater understanding of what energy management is and how taking a risk-based approach can save money and improve brand reputation; and
- Covers how ISO 50001 can be implemented and how the EnMS can be integrated with other management systems, such as an ISO 14001 EMS (environmental management system).

Alarms and Discursion

G.K. Chesterton

"Alarms and Discursions" is a collection of essays by the brilliant English writer G. K. Chesterton. Let's explore some of the intriguing pieces within this work: Introductory: On Gargoyles: Chesterton begins with a contemplation of a gargoyle—one of those grotesque stone figures that adorned the water-spouts in medieval cathedrals. He reflects on the meaning of the grotesque and embarks on a symbolic reverie about the three great stages of art. The essay takes us on a journey through the ages, exploring the transition from innocence to sophistication, from primitive sun-worship to the intricate craftsmanship of cathedrals. The Surrender of a Cockney: Chesterton humorously dissects the transformation of a Cockney (a Londoner) who moves to the countryside. The Cockney's surrender to the charms of rural life leads to delightful observations about human nature. The Nightmare: In this piece, Chesterton delves into the realm of dreams and nightmares. He muses on the significance of nightmares and their connection to our waking lives. The Appetite of Earth: Chesterton explores the insatiable hunger of the earth itself—the way it consumes and renews life. He weaves together themes of nature, desire, and eternity. The Philosophy of Sight-seeing: Chesterton playfully critiques the modern obsession with sight-seeing. He questions whether travelers truly see what they behold or merely collect superficial experiences. These essays are a delightful blend of wit, wisdom, and whimsy, showcasing Chesterton's unique perspective on life, art, and human existence. "
