Manufactured home and modular home construction takes place indoors with state-of-the-art technology. The controlled factory environment means that building materials are never exposed to the elements during construction like those of site-built houses and it ensures precision in every element that goes into each of our homes. Even the amenities – from brand-name bathroom fixtures and appliances to carpet – are inspected to ensure they live up to our strict quality standards
Every manufacturer will try to make the case that they put more into their homes. Don't take their word for it. A "Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin" is a government document that certifies, in addition to other key characteristics, the all-important weight of HUD-code homes. Oak Creek homes, foot for foot, weigh substantially more than the average manufactured home. Why? Because more goes in to it, from the frame to the roof. You get more for your dollar when you buy an Oak Creek home
An Oak Creek Home is built with superior materials, from higher grades of lumber to name brand components, no corner is cut in the production process. That's why Oak Creek's are considered the luxury choice in today's manufactured housing industry. Don't settle for less.
Manufactured Home & Modular Home Construction
Oak Creek's Fort Worth production facility builds some of the highest quality, most luxurious homes in the country. This video details the many approaches Oak Creek Fort Worth takes to accomplish this.
The foundation of building the strongest home in the industry starts with constructing the strongest frame system.

As we get set to begin the Spring Classics with tomorrow's running of the 102nd Milan-San Remo, it's the perfect time examine some of the important questions facing the major riders and teams during this year's spring campaign. As each question is posted, feel free to share your opinions, insights, and predictions as comments—your commentary and spirited dialogue is always appreciated.
7. Can George Hincapie finally win Paris-Roubaix?
After years of trying, France's Gilbert Duclos-Lassalle finally won Paris-Roubaix in 1992—at the age of 37. This year—at the age of 37—American George Hincapie will try once again to win the race that has tormented him throughout his entire career.
Supported by a talented BMC squad including Alessandro Ballan, Marcus Burghardt, Greg Van Avermaet, Manuel Quinziato, and two-time U23 Roubaix-winner Taylor Phinney, it's safe to say that Hincapie will enter this year's Hell of the North with more support than he's ever had at his disposal. He's also enjoyed a solid build-up, with nary a crash or a cough interrupting his training so far. Then again, we've said all these things before. But in a race where luck matters more than age, anything is possible—could this be Big George's year?

Emilio Pucci Accessories
Kaleidoscopic prints and finely draped fabrics come to mind with the name Emilio Pucci, the Italian house established in 1949 that would go on to signify luxury in the 1960s. With MSGM founder Massimo Giorgetti taking charge of the iconic brand, Pucci's latest women's collections delve into the archives for the deep cuts from collections past that resonate with the adventurous state of contemporary fashion. High-octane palettes are manifested in a whimsical yet progressive array of textural contrasts. Giorgetti's reinterpretations of blouses, trousers, and skirts run the gamut from silk to feathers to beading to metallic fabrics; evening dresses and accessories are fashioned with an architectural slant amplified with colorblocking and luxe embroidery.

Recommendations provide a proactive approach to reducing problems that could lead to drinking water contamination
Members of the Total Coliform Rule/Distribution System Advisory Committee (TCRDSAC) recently signed an agreement in principle (AIP) that recommends revisions to the 1989 Total Coliform Rule (TCR), as well as research and information collection needed to better understand potential public health impacts from conditions in the distribution system and control microbial drinking water contamination.
"This is a roadmap for strengthening safeguards against harmful bacteria in distribution lines and ensuring America's water remains among the safest in the world," said Benjamin H. Grumbles, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) assistant administrator for water.
The revisions to the rule will require systems with positive total coliform E. coli monitoring results to conduct an assessment to identify whether a sanitary defect is present and to correct defects found. The committee believes that the recommendations will improve public health protection for one of our most comprehensive drinking water regulations, affecting every public water system in the U.S. The recommendations provide a more proactive approach to identifying and reducing problems that could lead to drinking water contamination.
The 1996 Amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act requires EPA to review each National Primary Drinking Water Regulation at least once every six years and revise them, if appropriate. The agency established an advisory committee in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act with the specific charge of making recommendations and developing an AIP. After 13 public meetings spanning from July 2007 to September 2008, the TCRDSAC carefully examined the areas of the 1989 rule that they believed should be revised based on knowledge of scientific information, which included post-TCR implementation monitoring data and public health information. The TCRDSAC also formed an AIP specific to research and information collection.

Home > Glossary > Sound Production and Manipulation [SPM] > Recording > Field Recording > English definition
Friday 21 January 2005, by
Any sound recording created away from the studio in a specific space or
sonic environment. The aim of field recording might be to capture a
particular element of this space (as is the case, for example in documentary
nature recordings), or to capture the totality which may be thought of as
soundscape, auditory scene, or ambience. Field recording may also be
referred to as 'on-location recording'; however this term is also used to
describe commercial recording of performances in specific venues and
acoustic settings. Field recording is integral to Soundscape Composition.
Most frequently used in the sense of technique(s) i.e. sound recording 'in
the field' it has also claimed artistic status in relation to music and
radio. With the advent of online communities of shared interests, the
distribution and sharing of soundfiles across the web, some use the term in
the sense of a genre of electroacoustic music, with its own aesthetic as
well as technical concerns.

A group of friends who went deer hunting separated into
pairs for the day. That night, one hunter returned alone, staggering under
a hugh buck.
"Where's Harry?", asked another hunter.
"He fainted a couple miles up the trail,"
Harry's partner answered. "You left him lying there alone and carried
the deer back?"
"It was a tough decision," said the hunter. "But I figured
no one is going to steal Harry."

When using TurboGears, your controller methods get their arguments built from the various GET, POST, and URL mechanisms provided by CherryPy. The only downside is that all the arguments will be strings and you'd like them converted to their normal Python datatype: numbers to int, dates to datetime, etc.
This conversion functionality is provided by the FormEncode package and is applied to your methods using the @validate() decorator. FormEncode provides both validation and conversion as a single step, reasoning that you frequently need to validate something before you can convert it or that you'll need to convert something before you can really validate it.
The @validate() decorator can evaluate both widget-based forms and the standard CherryPy arguments. The @validate() decorator is not required in order to use TurboGears. If you don't put a @validate() decorator on your method, you'll simply have to do the string validation and conversion yourself.
The simplest way to use @validate() is to pass in a reference to a widgets-based form instance:
def show_form(self, field1, field2, ...):
return dict(form=yourpkg.forms.a_form)
where yourpkg.forms.a_form is an instance of a turbogears.widgets.Form sub-class or a callable that returns such an instance. The callable will be called for each request, so you can dynamically build forms depending on the request context.
The widgets system will take care of building a schema to handle the data conversions and you'll wind up with the int or datetime objects you specified when building the form. When paired with the error handling decorators, you can handle the common case of building a form, validating it, re-displaying the form if there are errors, and converting a valid form into the proper arguments in only a few lines of Python.
When not using forms, the story gets a bit more complex. Basically, you need to specify which validator goes with which argument using the validators keyword argument for the validate decorator. Here's a simple example:
from turbogears import controllers, expose, validate, validators
class Root(controllers.RootController):
@validate(validators = dict(
# Only letters/numbers/underscores/dashes
# Default value 'M'
size=validators.OneOf(['S', 'M', 'L'], if_empty='M'),
# Required field
def storeitem(self, tg_errors=None, **kwargs):
if tg_errors:
pass # handle the error however you want!
return dict(newvalue=value*2)
As you can see FormEncode and TurboGears provide a number of useful validators that are available in the turbogears.validators module.
For most validators, you can pass keyword arguments for more specific constraints. For the list of available validators, check both the FormEncode validators and TurboGears validators (source) modules. You can also create your own validators or build on existing validators by inheriting from one of the defaults. See the FormEncode documentation for how this is done.
The dictionary passed to the validators argument of the validate decorator maps the incoming field names to the appropriate FormEncode validators - in this example, we used PlainText, OneOf and Money. If all values pass validation, tg_errors won't change from it's default value of None and you are assured that value will be an int. Wait a minute! What's this tg_errors?
If there's a validation error, a dictionary named tg_errors will be passed to the function, with keys for the field names that failed validation. If you look up the keys, such as tg_errors['value'], you'll find an Invalid exception object. Invalid exception objects can be str()'d if you'd like to use them as user-friendly error messages or you can use the information contained in them to handle the error as you like:
def index(self, value=0, tg_errors=None):
if tg_errors:
message = ', '.join(str(item) for item in tg_errors.values())
message = "Success!"
return dict(message=message)
If you use form-based validation or if you pass a validation schema to the validators argument (see below), the values in the tg_errors will already be coerced into strings for your convenience. If you still need access to the Invalid exception object thrown by the validation schema, you can access it through cherrypy.request.validation_exception and retrieve the Invalid exceptions for the individual fields that failed validation through its error_dict attribute.
If you omit the tg_errors=None keyword from the controller method's arguments, you get told that there is no error handler function. This is a bit misleading as you don't really need an error handler if you handle things on your own, as explained here. See the documentation on Error Handling for learning more about error handlers.
If you want to do multiple-field validation, reuse validators or just clean up your code, validation Schema``s are the way to go. You create a validation schema by inheriting from ``turbogears.validators.Schema and pass the newly created Schema as the validators argument instead of passing a dictionary:
class MySchema(validators.Schema):
pwd1 = validators.String(not_empty=True)
pwd2 = validators.String(not_empty=True)
chained_validators = [validators.FieldsMatch('pwd1', 'pwd2')]
def password(self, pwd1, pwd2, tg_errors=None):
if tg_errors:
return "There was an error"
return "Password ok!"
Besides noticing our brilliant security strategy, please notice the chained_validators part of the schema that guarantees a pair of matching fields.
Again, for information about Invalid exception objects, creating your own validators, schema and FormEncode in general, refer to the FormEncode Validator documentation and don't be afraid to check the formencode.validators source. It's often more clear than the docs.
You can always use e.g. Python's int() method to convert a string to an integer and use a try/except block to catch errors in the conversion process:
from turbogears import controllers, expose
class Root(controllers.RootController):
def addnum(self, x, y):
"""Return the result of x+y."""
return str(int(x) + int(y))
except ValueError:
return "Input is not valid!"
This isn't that hard, but it quickly becomes unwieldy when you start converting large numbers of arguments. Moreover, you still have the problem of propagating the errors back to your users. In the end, it's usually far simpler to use the validation framework.
Sometimes you need access to external and possibly dynamic information in your validators, for example to change the outcome of the validation depending on this information. The validate_python and _to_python methods of all validators take an optional argument called state which is exactly for this purpose. The value of this argument should be a turbogears.util.Bunch-like object (i.e. just a simple data class that has arbitrary attributes) which provides the state information for the validator (schema). See the FormEncode documentation about 'state' for more information.
The validate decorator function takes a keyword argument named state_factory which expects a callable, which should return a Bunch object suitable to be passed as the state parameter to the validator schema of the form widget.
Here's a small example of how you can provide a validator with access to information about the current request:
from turbogears import util, expose, validate
from myproject.forms import myform
def state_provider():
return util.Bunch(request=cherrypy.request)
@validate(form=myform, state_factory=state_provider)
def mymethod(self, ...)
When the arguments, for whatever reason, fail validation, you will receive no values for the failing arguments.
If you would rather not get a tg_errors dict when this occurs, simply provide the validator with a value for its if_invalid keyword argument.
If you'd like to get both a tg_errors dict (so you can do some error handling) and a default value, supply a dictionary to the failsafe_values keyword argument containing the parameter/value pairs:
def password(self, pwd1, pwd2, tg_errors=None):
if tg_errors:
return "There was an error"
return "Password ok!"

Emily Badger
Emily Badger is a former staff writer at CityLab. Her work has previously appeared in Pacific Standard, GOOD, The Christian Science Monitor, and The New York Times. She lives in the Washington, D.C. area.
Because we know you're probably not getting much done at the office today anyway ahead of the long weekend, we'd like to introduce you to Blockee, a delightfully time-sucking web app that helps you pimp your street with "civic bling" – or, at least, begin to imagine what that might look like.
Fellows at Code for America have created the game (using the playful equivalent of what Google employees call "20 percent time"). The app pulls in images of your block from Google Street View, then arms you with twinkling icons to reimagine these familiar spaces, with more trees or bike lanes or public benches.
"I wanted them to be really recognizable," says Code for America fellow Tamara Shopsin of the suggested street improvements she's included in the app. She developed it with fellow fellows Jesse Bounds, Nick Doiron, and Serena Wales. "I wanted them to be something that people could really achieve, like a bike rack – that seems very achievable. Or maybe things that are more whimsical, like a birdhouse, that you can do really easily to better your street."
Code for America hopes, in other words, that you'll get a kick out of playing with the app, but that the game might also lead to actual civic improvements. The idea originally grew out of more serious discussions in Macon, Georgia (a CfA host city this year) about how to engage citizens in bettering their own blocks. After all, why can't your street get that new bike rack?
"If people could actually do that," Shopsin says, "that would be amazing."
You can also upload your own images into the game, as Shopsin has done with this now-bedazzled view of the White House:
She imagines that the tool might also be tweaked in the future and put to use for planning and zoning purposes, or for filing 3-1-1 tickets. If you can pick out a spot on your block that's best suited for a new street light, why not also use the tool to pinpoint for city officials your street's latest pothole or graffiti outbreak?

(This is a generalization of a question I posted a week ago.)
I'm looking at a variety sitting inside the algebraic torus $(\mathbb{C}\setminus 0)^n$ generated by the ideal $I = (*x_1^{\alpha_1} + \cdots + *x_n^{\alpha_1}, \dots, *x_1^{\alpha_k} + \cdots + *x_n^{\alpha_k})$, where the $*$ are generic complex numbers who may be zero. Each of the $k\leq n$ polynomials in the ideal belongs to $\mathbb{C}[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ and is homogeneous with no cross terms.
I want to compute the Euler characteristic (i.e. the alternating sum of Betti numbers) of this variety. My question is the following:
How, if at all, is the Euler characteristic of the variety generated by $I$ related to the Euler characteristic of the linear variety generated by $I' := (*x_1 + \cdots + *x_n, \dots, *x_1 + \cdots + *x_n)$?
My hope is that these two numbers are either equal or differ only by a factor of the $\alpha_i$.
I'm coming to this problem from a combinatorics standpoint, and so I have a hope that this Euler characteristic is actually just counting the number of regions of a certain hyperplane arrangement.
Thanks for anything!

Atom User Reviews
A true story line. I watched it alone. I pray one day I can a friend like that
This movie was hilarious. It's perfect for a night out or just looking for some laugh.
As unoriginal and awkward as Like a Boss is, Byrne and Haddish do everything in their power to elevate the mundane script to something worth viewing.
Quite funny for much of its running time, the film feels like it simply runs out of steam in its third act, settling for a lazy, pandering resolution and seeming happy to have made it to the 83-minute finish line.
Like a Boss is vibrant and sometimes funny, but rarely heartfelt and entirely stale. While it hits a few sentimental notes, the film's failure to delve into the friendship it celebrates, or to say anything significant about women's relationships in business, ultimately hampers it.

Analysis of load match and grid interaction indicators in net zero energy buildings with simulated and monitored data
September 2014
By: Jaume Salom, Anna Joanna Marszal, Joakim Widén, José Candanedo, Karen Byskov Lindberg
The main objective of this paper is to contribute to the discussion on the role of Net Zero Energy Buildings (Net ZEBs) on future energy systems by the interplay between on-site generation and the building loads, often called load matching, and the resulting import/export interaction with the surrounding electricity grid, commonly named grid interaction. This investigation analyzes five case studies with high resolution data, three of which are based on real monitored buildings. The research aims at selecting and suggesting a limited set of quantitative indicators that: (a) can provide practical information for building as well as grid designers and operators, and (b) are understandable for a wider audience and do not require complex simulation tools or additional resources. This paper also presents novel graphical representations describing the yearly or daily variation of the indexes in an understandable manner. It has been found that the hourly values of the cover factors (namely, the load cover factor and the supply cover factor) provide quite a good picture of the correlation between on-site demand and supply of energy. These factors illustrate both the daily and seasonal effect, the production pattern of different renewable energy technologies, and applied operation/control strategies. The loss-of load probability factor shows how often the on-site supply does not cover the on-site demand but it provides limited information. Several grid interaction indicators are presented in a normalized form based on the connection capacity between the building and the grid. The generation multiple is an index that compares peak values of exported/imported energy; it may also be used with generation/load values. The dimensioning rate and the connection capacity credit relate the building with the electrical grid. These indexes can be used to analyze individual buildings and extend their use in the case of cluster of buildings. Although some general trends have been identified in the results and the usefulness of these indicators is demonstrated, it should be noted that further studies are needed in order to define reference values for particular building topologies, clusters of buildings and climates, which could be used as a rule-of-thumb for grid/building designers.
Analysis of grid interaction indicators in net zero-energy buildings with sub-hourly collected data
August 2014
By: Jaume Saloma, Joakim Widénb, José Candanedoc & Karen Byskov Lindbergd - $46.00 USD
This paper aimed to contribute to the discussion about the role of net zero-energy buildings (ZEBs) or nearly ZEBs in future energy systems, from the perspective of the resulting import/export interaction with the surrounding energy grid (commonly named grid interaction (GI)). This investigation analyses three buildings with measured data at sub-hourly time resolution. The goal of this paper was to quantify the effect of using high-resolution data (one or a few minutes) versus hourly resolution in the GI analysis of buildings with an on-site generation system. A limited set of quantitative GI indicators have been selected: the generation multiple, the dimensioning rate and the connection capacity credit. Additionally, this paper presents graphical representations describing in an intuitive way the yearly or daily variation of the indicators. Some general trends have been identified and the usefulness of the selected indicators is demonstrated. Findings show conclusively that sub-hourly analysis will give more accurate information. Differences between peak values measured with hourly and sub-hourly time resolution can be significant. If detailed GI analysis at the individual building level is required, one should consider going for detailed sub-hourly analysis.
Analysis Of Load Match and Grid Interaction Indicators in NZEB with High-Resolution Data
March 2014 - PDF 2.65MB
By: Jaume Salom, Anna Joanna Marszal, José Candanedo, Joakim Widén, Karen Byskov Lindberg, Igor Sartori
A Net Zero Energy Building (Net ZEB) is succinctly described as a grid-connected building that generates as much energy as it uses over a year. The "Net Zero" balance is attained by applying energy conservation and efficiency measures and by incorporating renewable energy systems. The main objective of this report is to analyze the usefulness and relevance of proposed Load Match and Grid Interaction (LMGI) for Net Zero Energy Buildings. The methodology is based in the analysis of available high-resolution data (mainly hourly) both from simulated and monitored Net ZEBs (Net Zero Energy Buildings) or nZEB (nearly Zero Energy Buildings). The central question is to find a limited set of indicators which provide relevant information to building owners, local grid Distribution System Operators (DSO) when information from building simulations are available at design stage.
Fulfillment of net-zero energy building (NZEB) with four metrics in a single family house with different heating alternatives
September 2013 - PDF 2.13MB
By: Ayman Mohamed, Ala Hasan, Kai Sirén
This study aims to investigate the fulfillment of four Net Zero Energy Building (NZEB) balances, NZEB-PE, NZEB-site, NZEB-emission and NZEB-cost, considering the four metrics of primary energy (PE), site energy, CO2-eqemissions and energy cost, respectively, using weighting factors based on Finnish and international reference data. The study analyzes five conventional energy systems and seven biomassbased standalone and shared combined heat and power (CHP) systems. These systems are connected to a single family house located in Helsinki, Finland, with two energy efficiency levels: a standard house and a passive house, simulated by Trnsys software. The annual balance of the import and export of the operational thermal and electrical energies is applied. The simulated results indicate that the NZEB-emission, NZEB-PE, NZEB-cost, and NZEB-site are arranged in that order according to the ease of fulfilling the annual balance. Making the house high in thermal energy efficiency (or adding solar thermal collectors) for all the studied systems is a step towards achieving NZEB-PE, NZEB-cost, and NZEB-site. On the contrary, achieving the NZEB-emission by the shared CHPs connected to the standard house is easier than the passive house. The NZEB balance is more attainable by the shared CHPs than the standalone CHPs. The NZEB-PE is easier to achieve using the international factors than using the Finnish PE factors.
Measurement and Verification protocol for Net Zero Energy Buildings
September 2013 - PDF 2.79MB
By: Federico Noris, Assunta Napolitano and Roberto Lollini
In recent years the movement towards more efficient and sustainable buildings has driven the building sector towards the adoption of Net Zero Energy Buildings (Net ZEB) concepts based on the basically zero external energy balance resulting from the renewable energy sources covering a great extent of the building loads. In this framework, the International Energy Agency (IEA) Task 40 / Annex 52 focuses on harmonizing definitions, developing tools, innovative solutions and guidelines related to Net ZEB. Most building energy performance certifications are currently issued on the basis of design input data and several important assumptions (e.g., weather conditions, user behaviors, management of the building) are made and often do not reflect the actual boundary conditions during operation. For this reason, it is necessary to carry out performance assessments during the operation phase on the basis of monitoring data. The current document summarizes the Measurement and Verification (M&V) protocol for Net ZEB developed within IEA Task 40/Annex 52 Subtask A. This report assists with the planning, implementation and data evaluation for Net ZEB monitoring. The document is divided in two main parts focusing on energy balance and indoor environmental quality (IEQ) assessment. The monitoring can be used to compare design versus real performance for building energy label verification or as a tool to further improve building performance. However, although the recognition of the cost-effectiveness (Mills and Matthew, 2009) of monitoring for many applications, measurement campaigns are not yet common because of the investment cost and the effort required during the different phases. A standardization of monitoring procedures will reduce the effort required in monitoring activities and therefore facilitate the diffusion. The purpose of defining a monitoring procedure to check the Net ZEB definition has one of the main goal to calculate the balance associated with the Net ZEB definition.
LCE Analysis of Buildings - Taking the Step Towards Net Zero Energy Buildings
A Technical Report of Subtask A
May 2013 - PDF 0.21MB
By: By Björn Berggren1 and Monika Hall
Today a number of buildings exist for which the design principle has been to achieve a Zero Energy Building (ZEB) or Net Zero Energy Building (Net ZEB) [1-6]. This paper focuses on Net ZEBs. In Net ZEB definitions, there may or may not be a maximum limit on energy demand. The requirements are generally that the demand is covered by renewable energy sources and that the building is in compliance with the national standards and regulations. However, to meet the goal, a low demand gives an advantage. The general approach to reach Net ZEB could be described as a two-step concept. The first step is to reduce the energy demand by applying energy efficiency measures. The second step is to supply energy, generated by renewable sources, which may be supplied into an external grid when favourable [8-11].
Innovation development for highly energy-efficient housing: Opportunities and challenges related to the adoption of passive houses
March 2013 - PDF 3.91MB
By: Mlecnik, E.
In previous years we have seen a recognition of the significant potential that exists for reducing energy use through innovation in residential buildings. This study investigates innovation challenges and identifies opportunities that could lead to a rapid increase in the adoption of highly energy-efficient housing concepts, particularly that of the passive house. To this end, it exemplifies, interprets and develops the innovation adoption theory through an investigation of views and experiences on the supply side, the demand side and the policy side. It highlights successful innovation trajectories and barriers experienced by businesses. It addresses both problems and positive experiences from the perspective of the end user and investigates different policy approaches. As such, the research reveals important features of innovation-adoption strategies in the building sector. It shows how multi-player enterprise collaboration plays a key role, and the study also recommends the development of quality assurance schemes. It makes a valuable contribution to discussions about how active a role government policymakers and enterprise networks should play.

Net zero energy building: A review of current definitions and definition development in Belgium.
Subtask A: Definitions and Implications
June 2012 - PDF 0.27MB
By: Erwin Mlecnik, Shady Attia, Stefan Van Look
The recast of the European Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) requires the uptake of a definition of so called 'nearly zero energy' buildings (nZEB). Belgium was first to set a definition for a 'net zero energy house' (NZEB) in 2009. Every year the definition is revised for consistency with shortcomings and emerging issues. The Belgian definition raised many questions regarding (1) the net balance, (2) the application and calculation method (3) the indoor air quality and comfort, (4) energy use included in the balance, (5) the type of buildings, (6) the accepted renewable energy supply options, (7) the quality assurance and monitoring and (8) energy storage and the connection to the energy infrastructure. Therefore, the paper presents a review on the current Belgian definition and its market status in comparison with the international context. The aim of the paper is to review current definition discussions and pave the way to a more consistent definition.
Principles for Nearly Zero Energy Building in Belgium
Subtask A: Definitions and Implications
June 2012
The recast of the European Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) requires all new buildings to be "nearly zero energy' buildings (nZEB) by 2020, including existing buildings undergoing major renovations. Belgium was first to set a definition for a 'net zero energy house' (NZEB) in 2009. Every year the definition is revised for consistency with shortcomings and emerging issues. However, to reach the nZEB objective many questions are raised in the Belgian context. Many uncertainties exist among local governments and municipalities to achieve that objective. Therefore, the paper presents a review on the current Belgian definition and its market status in comparison with the international context. The paper builds on existing experience with the implementation of the EPB calculation method and the Passive House initiative. The aim of the paper is to review current definition discussions and pave the way to a more consistent definition. Finally, four principles are suggested to reach the nZEB objectives in Belgium.
Net zero energy buildings: A consistent definition framework
February 2012 - PDF 0.68MB
By: Igor Sartori, Assunta Napolitano, Karsten Voss
The term Net ZEB, Net Zero Energy Building, indicates a building connected to the energy grids. It is recognized that the sole satisfaction of an annual balance is not sufficient to fully characterize Net ZEBs and the interaction between buildings and energy grids need to be addressed. It is also recognized that different definitions are possible, in accordance with a country's political targets and specific conditions. This paper presents a consistent framework for setting Net ZEB definitions. Evaluation of the criteria in the definition framework and selection of the related options becomes a methodology to set Net ZEB definitions in a systematic way. The balance concept is central in the definition framework and two major types of balance are identified, namely the import/export balance and the load/generation balance. As compromise between the two a simplified monthly net balance is also described. Concerning the temporal energy match, two major characteristics are described to reflect a Net ZEB's ability to match its own load by on-site generation and to work beneficially with respect to the needs of the local grids. Possible indicators are presented and the concept of grid interaction flexibility is introduced as a desirable target in the building energy design.
Net Zero Energy Building: A Review of Current Definitions and Market Status in Belgium
November 2011 - PDF 0.11MB
By: Erwin Melecnik, Shady Attia, Stefan Van Loon, Irena Kondratenko
The recast of the European Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) requires the uptake of a definition of so called 'nearly zero energy' buildings (nZEBs). The Belgian Monarch is one of the first countries that set a definition for a 'net zero energy house' (NZEB) in 2009. However, this definition is not cast in stone. Every year the definition is revised for consistency with shortcomings and emerging issues. In fact, the Belgian definition raised many questions regarding (1) the net balance, (2) the application and calculation method (3) the indoor air quality and comfort, (4) energy use included in the balance, (5) the type of buildings, (6) the accepted renewable energy supply options, (7) the quality assurance and monitoring and (8) energy storage and the connection to the energy infrastructure. Therefore, the paper presents a review on the current Belgian definition and its market status in comparison with the international context. The aim of the paper is to review the current definition and proposes a more consistent definition.
Understanding Net Zero Energy Buildings: Evaluation of Load Matching and Grid Interaction Indicators
Proceedings of Building Simulation 2011: 12th Conference of International Building Performance Simulation Association, Sydney, 14-16 November
November 2011 - PDF 1.16MB
By: Jaume Salom, Joakim Widén, José Candanedo, Igor Sartori, Karsten Voss, Anna Marszal
Although several alternative definitions exist, a Net-Zero Energy Building (Net ZEB) can be succinctly described as a grid-connected building that generates as much energy as it uses over a year. The "net-zero" balance is attained by applying energy conservation and efficiency measures and by incorporating renewable energy systems. While based on annual balances, a complete description of a Net ZEB requires examining the system at smaller time-scales. This assessment should address: (a) the relationship between power generation and building loads and (b) the resulting interaction with the power grid. This paper presents and categorizes quantitative indicators suitable to describe both aspects of the building's performance. These indicators, named LMGI - Load Matching and Grid Interaction indicators, are easily quantifiable and could complement the output variables of existing building simulation tools. The indicators and examples presented here deal only with electric generation and loads.
From Low-Energy to Net Zero-Energy Buildigns: Status and Perspectives
April 2011 - PDF 0.93MB
By: Karsten Voss, Eike Musall, and Markus Lichtmeß
"Net Zero-Energy Building" has become a popular catchphrase to describe the synergy between energy-efficient building and renewable energy utilisation to achieve a balanced energy budget over an annual cycle. Taking into account the energy exchange with a grid overcomes the limitations of energy-autonomous buildings with the need for seasonal energy storage on-site. Although the expression, "Net Zero-Energy Building," appears in many energy policy documents, a harmonised definition or a standardised balancing method is still lacking. This paper reports on the background and the various effects influencing the energy balance approach. After discussing the national energy code framework in Germany, a harmonised terminology and balancing procedure is proposed. The procedure takes not only the energy balance but also energy efficiency and load matching into account.
Zero Energy Building: A Review of Definitions and Calculation Methodologies
December 2010 - PDF 0.18MB
By: A.J. Marszala, P.Heiselberg, J.S.Bourrelle, E.Musall, K.Voss, I.Sartori, A.Napolitano
The concept of Zero Energy Building (ZEB) has gained wide international attention during last few years and is now seen as the future target for the design of buildings. However, before being fully implemented in the national building codes and international standards, the ZEB concept requires clear and consis- tent definition and a commonly agreed energy calculation methodology. The most important issues that should be given special attention before developing anewZEB definition are: (1) the metric of the balance, (2) the balancing period, (3) the type of energy use included in the balance, (4) the type of energy balance, (5) the accepted renewable energy supply options, (6) the connection to the energy infrastructure and (7) the requirements for the energy efficiency, the indoor climate and in case of gird connected ZEB for the building–grid interaction. This paper focuses on the review of the most of the existing ZEB definitions and the various approaches towards possible ZEB calculation methodologies. It presents and discusses possible answers to the abovementioned issues in order to facilitate the development of a consistent ZEB definition and a robust energy calculation methodology.
Defining nearly zero-energy housing in Belgium and the Netherlands
Subtask A: Definitions and Implications
November 2010 - PDF 0.33MB
Europe expects the housing sector to evolve towards 'nearly zero-energy' dwellings. Meanwhile, general terms and research, marketing and legal definitions considering such dwellings have already been introduced. Appraisal of existing definitions is now needed for further policy development. This paper examines what nearly zero-energy terms can be expected to be adopted in Belgium and the Netherlands. The research method uses an interview method based on innovation diffusion theory. The analysis traces the regional adoption trajectory of relevant definitions and examines the opportunities and barriers for the inclusion of existing definitions in regional energy policy. The analysis shows that—whilst international prominence of the terms 'net zero energy' and 'net zero carbon', in addition to 'low energy' and 'passive house', is observed—in Belgium and the Netherlands 'passive house' and 'energy neutral' are preferred. The research findings indicate that the adoption of already existing definitions for nearly zero-energy houses will depend on the region and can prove a very complex process with several conflicting issues. Terms should be clearly defined and used at all political and marketing levels. It is recommended to enhance the relative advantage, demonstrability, visibility and compatibility of favoured definitions by policy initiatives.
Comfort and Energy Performance Recommendations for Net Zero Energy Buildings
Eurosun 2010 Paper
March 2010 - PDF 0.09MB
By: I. Sartori et. al
Conceptually, a Net Zero Energy Building (Net ZEB) is a building with greatly reduced energy needs that are balanced by an equivalent generation of electricity, or other energy carriers, from renewable sources. So far no common agreement exists on a clear and sound definition of Net ZEB, even though the subject is receiving significant attention in many countries. A major advantage of the Net ZEB approach is claimed to be the absence of energy performance indicators, hence avoiding the need to set internationally agreed limits.
Criteria for Definition of Net Zero Energy Buildings
Eurosun 2010 Paper
March 2010 - PDF 0.03MB
By: Igor Sartori, Assunta Napolitano, Anna J. Marszal, Shanti Pless, Paul Torcellini and Karsten Voss
The idea of a Net Zero Energy Building (NZEB) is understood conceptually, as it is understood that the way a NZEB is defined affects significantly the way it is designed in order to achieve the goal. However, little agreement exists on a common definition that is based on scientific analysis. The term is used commercially without a clear understanding and countries are enacting policies and national targets based on the concept without a clear definition in place.
Load Matching and Grid Interaction of Net Zero Energy Buildings
Eurosun 2010 Paper
March 2010 - PDF 0.11MB
By: K. Voss et. al.
Net zero energy use. The goal sounds simple and is presented excessively in variations all over the world. Major advantage of the Net Zero Energy Building (Net ZEB) concept is – on the first look – the absence of energy performance indicators such as kWh/m² with the need to set agreed energy limits and reference areas. This simplicity is a major background for the high political and public acceptance of the wording. In general a conventional building might be called Net ZEB as long as the annual energy needs or the associated carbon emissions are balanced by credits from excess energy feed into the grid.
Net Zero Energy Buildings: Calculation Methods and input Variables - An international View
Eurosun 2010 Paper
March 2010 - PDF 0.02MB
By: J. Bourrelle et .al.
The International Energy Agency (IEA), through the Solar Heating and Cooling Programme (SHC) Task 40 and the Energy Conservation in Buildings and Community Systems Programme (ECBCS) Annex 52 [1], works towards developing a common understanding and setting up the basis for an international definition framework for Net Zero Energy Buildings (NZEBs). The understanding for such buildings and how the NZEB status should be calculated differs in each of the participating country. Within the task activities, the participants surveyed and compared the variables used for calculation and each country's national calculation methodologies.
Goal: Zero Energy Building
Exemplary Experience Based on the Solar Estate Solarsiedlung Freiburg am Schlierberg, Germany

By: Mira Heinze and Prof. Karsten Voss
Zero energy consumption. The goal sounds simple and is presented excessively in variations all over the world. Energy and environmental politics demand zero consumption as a long-term goal, marketing has discovered the concept and first buildings and settlements aiming at balanced energy or emission budgets have been constructed.

Irish Life Experience
Irish Life Experience is a short-term study abroad program which offers a fantastic opportunity to experience life in Ireland for both high school and college students from North America. By combining classes, workshops, and tours, students are able to learn and live all things Irish in a relatively short amount of time. Available programs are a 14-day college program in June, or a 25-day high school program in July.
Our company's focus is on the authenticity of the program and its elements, as well as the overall end experience the students bring home with them. Out intention is not to have a massive number of participants, or worry about "competing" programs, as we feel our program is unique and attracts the type of student who feels that they are on a journey with other like-minded students who already love Ireland, but may not have been fortunate enough to experience it first hand.
Average group size is only 25-30, so personal attention from the coordinators, teachers, and counselors is very high and the personal relationships which are formed amongst the group are extremely strong.
Our target audience is technically the parents of high school and college students. Safety, security, and reputation are what they are going to look for when sending their child to another country for an extended period of time. The look needs to be fun, yet professional, with a clean, modern look using our existing color scheme found at http://www.irishlifeexperience.com.
We're looking for something that complements our website, but doesn't necessarily mirror it since the site was built on an out-of-the-box wordpress theme. The idea is to have a tri-fold brochure with the following details/pages:
Cover - Main image/dates/contact info
Inside Page - About Irish Life Experience
Page 3/4 (Inside) - High School Program with general information regarding classes, workshops, tours, campuses
Page 5 - College Program with general information on classes, workshops, tours, campuses, and map
Page 6 (back page) - Information on available extended travel packages for friends and family through Tenon Tours
Most of the headings and details can be found at http://www.IrishLifeExperience.com, but we're really just looking for a winning design based on the look and layout, so placeholders for headings, pictures, and copy are ok.
Questions are welcome.

This Thanksgiving, be grateful that menus and palates have changed over the past 100 years.
Gothamist culled the New York Public Library's menu archives and unearthed some real head-scratchers of Thanksgiving menus past. Some highlights of their findings include a potted quail stuff with nuts served by the Clover Club at the Bellevue-Stratford in 1907 and a more mysterious-sounding "broiled bluefish sauce admiral" served by the St. Charles Hotel around 1900.
(LIST: Top 10 Things You Didn't Know About Thanksgiving)
Further research into the Thanksgiving menu vault revealed some truly inedible-sounding dishes. A sampling:
–Sheepshead with Hollandaise Sauce: A 1908 Thanksgiving menu from the Waldorf Hotel (now part of the Waldorf=Astoria) had this suspect delicacy on its hoity-toity menu. Fear not, though — sheepshead is actually a white meat fish. Even if it was an actual decapitated head, everything tastes better with Hollandaise sauce, right?
–Baked Tautog: It sounds like an inlet in the Hamptons, and if it were on more menus today it would probably garner at least a few dinner table iPhone investigations. However, Tautog is a fish, affectionately termed the "poor man's lobster." It is fitting, then, that a 1905 cookbook titled Family Living on $500 A Year (sign of the times!) included a Thanksgiving recipe for the blackfish.
–Pigeon pie: Most people would rather step on a pigeon than eat it during Thanksgiving. Not so for 19th century diners, who were instructed to "place young pigeons in a dish" to cook them to perfection.
–Broiled quail on toast: Quail is still a commonly-consumed game bird, but placing it on toast doesn't happen quite as often as it used to. In 1899, Sturtevant House touted the dish as part of its 75-cent (again, things have changed) Thanksgiving dinner menu.
–Terrapin a la Maryland: UMD fans, lay your weapons down. This offering appeared on several turn-of-the-century menus during a time when turtle was a delicacy. An 1894 Delmonico's recipe thoughtfully suggests preparing the dish by blanching a live terrapin in boiling water before removing the skin from its feet.
Bon appétit!

I've often enjoyed the covers to Rudy Rucker novels. This one was designed by our fantabulous Jamie Stafford-Hill. It should hit the stands in December. The book is about two mathematicians in love with the same woman — they use cutting edge mathematics to alter reality and get the girl.
The first one is the final. The other two are slight variations on it. The warm colors were thought too feminine, and therefore limiting the audience too much. I loved the idea of the italic "N" in the earlier comp, but I liked the overall design of the final better. The geometry of the author and title type against the nautilus really seemed to go a long way in adding a sense of alternate and intersecting realities. I'm surprised that we got it approved but between the typeface, color shift, and the intersection of the title into the author, Jamie was able to maintain readability. (Oddly, the final "all bold" version is more readable than the earlier version that shifts weights at the +/- point.) I also like that the nautilus looks like a storm is on its way!
From Jamie:
I had a great time with this one...I wanted to capture some of the chaos of Rucker's universe(s)—where graduate students exploit the fundamental connections between abstract math and the nature of reality in order to get a date—and the nautilus spiral really seemed to get that. I still prefer the original hot pink nebula chaos but I do like how it turned out, especially with the double-rotated type.
In the first comp the word "Mathematicians" uses an italic "n," which, based on what I remember from high school algebra, often stands in for an unknown number. I think. Anyway, it looked good.

Police: 2 dead after shooting at Las Vegas hotel
Fri., Dec. 14, 2012
LAS VEGAS (AP) — A man shot and fatally wounded a woman, then killed himself Friday night at the Excalibur hotel-casino on the Las Vegas Strip, sending frightened patrons fleeing.
Las Vegas Police Lt. Ray Steiber said the shootings happened at about 8:30 p.m. near the high-rise hotel's front entrance.
Steiber said the man shot the woman, who was a vendor at the hotel's concierge desk, and then turned the gun on himself. The man was found dead at the scene.
The woman was transported to a local hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Neither the gunman nor the victim was identified. However, Steiber said the woman worked as a vendor at the concierge desk, where tourists can get show tickets and restaurant reservations. He said the relationship between the shooter and the victim wasn't immediately clear.
The shooting happened as the hotel's registration desk was busy on a Friday night with the National Finals Rodeo and other events in town. Steiber said patrons scattered at the first sound of gunfire, and no one else was wounded.
MGM Resorts International owns the Excalibur and several other hotels on the Las Vegas Strip. Company spokesman Gordon Absher said the hotel and casino remained open to guests and patrons. However, the area where the shooting took place remained cordoned off by police while the investigation continued.
The Excalibur has approximately 4,000 rooms and is located at the intersection of Tropicana Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard. The hotel is named for the mythical sword of King Arthur, and its facade is a stylized image of a castle.

Cloud has revolutionized business in ways impossible to imagine even a few short years ago. Consider taxi (or passenger transportation) companies that do not possess cars. Accommodation providers that do not own any properties. Retailers without inventory. Media sites that do not produce content. And enterprise cloud companies that have no servers. Cloud has allowed many companies to move into new markets by not just doing things differently but by doing different things.
We are already seeing glimpses of even more profound shifts from self-driving cars filling roadways in the next 10 years to smart devices entering our home for health and security monitoring. What we know for sure: Cloud will continue to be the glue that binds together business capabilities through technologies—everything from the Internet of Things to digital, as a service models, cognitive computing, biometrics, and augmented reality to name a few. Cloud is both a catalyst and a connector and will continue to be a foundational source for innovation and growth.LEARN MORE ABOUT ACCENTURE TECHNOLOGY STRATEGY
