Correlation of AC energy consumption and passive thermal comfort with floor levels in tropical high-rise residential dwellings

The relationship between thermal comfort, building floor levels, and HVAC energy consumption in tropical high-rise residential buildings remains unclear. These buildings face heavy cooling demands due to their immense height and volume, as well as hot-humid weather found in the tropics. Architects and building developers understand that an increase in a building's floor count increases its energy requirements, but the impact on occupant thermal requirements and AC energy consumption needs further investigation. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between passive thermal comfort, AC energy consumption, and floor levels in tropical high-rise residential buildings through survey and experimental methods. The results showed a significant relationship between thermal sensation votes and building floor levels, as well as AC energy consumption and floor levels. The study also found a strong correlation between thermal sensation votes and predicted mean votes, AC energy use, and predicted people dissatisfied. The optimal cut-off floors for thermal dissatisfaction according to (TSV) are 22nd floor and 8th floor in summer and monsoon seasons respectively. With a 90% sensitivity and 92% specificity. This research highlights the importance of addressing thermal comfort in high-rise buildings to improve energy efficiency and thermal comfort in tropical climates.

Indoor Omnidirectional Antenna Network Planning using Capacity and Coverage Planning in Gandaria 8 Office Tower Building in PT Artisan Wahyu

Planning to improve the signal condition of cellular telephone networks in a company is very important. PT. Artisan Wahyu is a company engaged in property and real estate. The purpose of this study was to determine the quality and strength of the signal beam at the Gandaria 8 Office Tower using the G-net Track Lite application, to determine the number of indoor omnidirectional antennas based on capacity planning method, and for determining the number of omnidirectional indoor antennas based on coverage planning method. The research method used is quantitative method with a descriptive type of research. By using the analysis method of Capacity Planning and Coverage Planning. Therefore, it is necessary to plan an omnidirectional indoor antenna analysis so that activities in communication can be enjoyed properly. From the results of the research conducted, there were four plans for omnidirectional indoor antenna networks for the 2nd floor based on capacity and coverage of 6 antennas. Whereas for the 22nd floor based on capacity as much as 3 and for coverage as many as five antennas so that the Coverage Planning method is recommended to be applied to the Gandaria Building 8 Office Tower.

Leger's United Nations' Murals

In the summer of 1952, I had just moved to Philadelphia from New York. I had been in residence there only a few weeks when I received a letter that had been forwarded from my former New York address. The letter was from Mr. Michael M. Harris, Deputy Chief of Planning at the Headquarters Planning Office at the United Nations. The letter stated I had been recommended by M. Fernand Leger to execute his designs for two murals that were to be installed on the East and West walls of the General Assembly Hall. I called Mr. Harris and discovered I had telephoned him just in time as the second man on the list of four or five Leger had recommended had already been alerted. Mr. Harris suggested I come up to the UN as soon as possible. The next day I made the trip to New York to see him in his office on the 22nd floor of the Secretariat.
