Green Energy Sustainable Solutions, Inc. (GESS) Developing Another Biogas Facility in North Carolina
RALEIGH, NC, April 11, 2018 - Green Energy Sustainable Solutions, Inc. (GESS), announces plans to develop a second biogas plant in North Carolina. The site located in Wilson County, is owned by Andrews Hunt Farms, will be powered by swine brown biomass manure and agriculture waste. The Wilson County Green Energy Biogas Park project is expected to produce 330,000 MMBtu of renewable natural gas annually.
The Stantonsburg, North Carolina biogas development will create 10 to 15 new jobs and cut methane emissions to the atmosphere as the plant will process approximately 130 thousand tons of waste per year. Additionally, it will be possible to produce and sell organic fertilizer, an outcome of the anaerobic digestion process. R.C. Hunt, owner of Andrews Hunt Farms, is leasing the land for the biogas project. “This project will provide a reference for other hog farmers interested in constructing biogas plants. Having the GESS team in place is a great resource to start seeing the benefits of renewable energy on the economy and in the community.”
GESS has partnered with Biogest® to assist with the design and construction of the PowerRing biogas plant. The facility will consist of an external, main digester and an internal post digester. The PowerRing digester is sealed and insulated, equipped with a reinforced concrete roof. The swine lagoons on the property will be emptied and contents used in the biogas process, reducing odors and other environmental concerns. Biogest® will provide biogas engineering operations and their manufactured PowerRing equipment, Capstone Microturbine Corporation is supplying the low emission gas turbines.

Preparing for the installation of floor heating insulation boards
Prior to installation, you will need a few tools:
- A basic utility knife to cut the boards,
- A trowel,
- Galvinized screws and tabless washers for non-concrete installations,
- Alkali fiber-mesh tape for installation in areas that do not see water often (kitchen, living room, etc),
- Polymer sealant and adhesive for areas prone to water (bathrooms and showers),
- Modified self-leveler/mortar
First, clean all surfaces thoroughly of all dirt and debris.
When installing over an existing concrete base, it is important to remove all traces of existing finishes, contamination, etc. to allow for a clean surface. in addition, when installing over a new concrete base, make sure that it has been properly cured and dried to allow for shrinkage to occur before installation.
Lastly, determine how you will be laying out your insulation boards in advance, based on your layout, cutting them to size with a utility knife.
Please consult the specification sheet for more information.


The Basilica of San Marco's crypt was half filled with water and the narthex flooded to a depth of 70cm Photo: Simone Padovani/Awakening/Getty Images
The storm surge that brought flooding of 187cm above mean water level to Venice on the night of 12-13 November, with more flooding expected every day until 16 November inclusive, has not damaged works of art in the citys museums and in the Biennales main sites. The cost to house owners, hoteliers and shop keepers will, however, be huge because, with 80% of the city under water, nearly all ground floors have been flooded. The various seats of the Università Ca Foscari are all closed because of damage to their services, while the retaining wall of the island, San Servolo, which houses Venice International University, has partly collapsed.
The consequences of these days events will be longterm. While plumbing and electrical services can be repaired relatively easily, the immersion of bricks and marble in saltwater gradually erodes the fabric of the whole city. No survey has yet been conducted of the citys many churches, nearly all of which are artistically important in one way or another, and have nearly all been invaded repeatedly by water.
The Basilica of San Marco, which is the lowest-lying building in Venice, has once again been invaded, with its crypt half filled with water and the narthex flooded to a depth of 70cm. “We are essentially unable to protect ourselves”, said the engineer Pierpaolo Campostrini, one of the basilicas procurators, who is investigating exceptional measures to isolate the church, because he believes that they cannot wait for the flood barriers to be completed.

You know very well that construction projects should be managed. Whether you are a worker or manager at the construction site, the thing that matters a lot is to manage the entire construction project till its completion with great care, attention and efficiency without compromising quality. Managing a construction project is a complex process that should be taken care of with seriousness.
In this blog, there are some effective professional strategies for managing a construction project with great efficiency. Read on!
Must-Have Solid Plan
It is understood that you cannot conduct any task of your everyday routine efficiently without solid planning. When you plan things at the very first, you can increase the chances of managing things appropriately.
A similar goes with the construction project, where you have to focus on the planning substantially, or you can consult with a professional construction person to get reliable and quality workers like a construction superintendent staffing to manage the day-to-day operations at the construction site with great efficiency – helping you to prevent the ruining of planning that you have made before the start of a construction project. With the help of planning, you can professionally perform each construction task.
To have a successful construction project, you need to keep communicating with staff and workers. You will not be amazed to know that, without communication, nothing can be done with great efficiency and productivity. Therefore, you have to communicate, and communicate.
With effective communication at the construction site, you can better understand what is necessary to conduct and what is not. You can also get professional assistance like rigging services las vegas, nv, to boost the efficiency of your construction project along with reducing potential damages and workers’ injuries at a construction site. By avoiding a lack of communication, you can reduce mistakes, delays, and overruns at construction sites with managers and workers.
It is necessary to prevent the delays and the risks that can contribute to increasing the damage to your construction planning, site, and employees due to any reason.
In order to professionally manage the entire construction site project with great efficiency, you need to invest your attention and time in creating a safe and secure environment by reducing the risk of indulging in any construction site injuries to you and other workers. In this way, you boost the productivity of your construction project along with the employees and workers who are managing it.
Prefer to Use Project Management Software
Construction projects always require collaboration and an improved source of communication where you can better evaluate things with great efficiency. Once you use project management software, it can help you to deal not just with the management of construction projects but also budget management.
Isn’t it really a helpful approach? Of course, it is. It is the major reason that makes construction projects more worth it and easy to manage – as the project management software comes with effective project planning and scheduling.

State Sens. John Fonfara (D-Hartford) and Paul Doyle (D-Wethersfield) announced a major state investment in a rehabilitation project to repair the Putnam Bridge, which spans the Connecticut River and connects Glastonbury to Wethersfield.
“Repair of the Putnam Bridge is a jobs project more than anything, and putting people back to work is a top priority in times like these,” said Sen. Fonfara. “Our commitment is ongoing to keep the state’s road and bridge infrastructure in good repair. The pedestrian walkway for bikers and walkers will encourage us to get out of our vehicles and see the beautiful scenery that Wethersfield, Glastonbury, and the Connecticut River valley have to offer.”
“Transportations investments are key strategies for strengthening economies, because they create good jobs and improve access to communities throughout our state,” Sen. Doyle said. “I am grateful for the state funding for this important project, which will improve access between Glastonbury and Wethersfield for motorists, and now also for pedestrians and people riding bikes. The job creation enabled by this investment is the icing on the cake for this critical project.”
The state Bond Commission today approved a request for $24.4 million for the rehabilitation of the Putnam Bridge. Funding for the project is part of a total of $50 million in funding for various bridge repair projects in the state through the Fix-It-First program. The overall investment will create or retain about 1,295 construction jobs.
The Putnam Bridge project is expected to break ground in spring 2013 and be completed in two years. The four-lane bridge, named for William H. Putnam, a former chairman of the Greater Hartford Bridge Authority, opened in 1959 and underwent a major rehabilitation in 1987. The DOT estimates that about 54,200 vehicles travel over the bridge on an average day. Last fall, the DOT announced it would build a six-foot-wide pedestrian walkway across the bridge to improve access for walkers and bikers.

Rainwater Harvesting Course
Leitrim Development Comany
The aim of the rainwater harvesting course was to provide participants with relevant knowledge and proficiency to install and maintain rainwater harvesting systems. The objectives of the course were to;
- Understand the intricacies associated with the installation of rainwater harvesting systems;
- Develop and maintain a water balance;
- Differentiate between the characteristics of direct and gravity rainwater harvesting systems;
- Identify the important stages involved in operating a rainwater water harvesting e.g. pre-filtration, biological treatment, sediment disposal and UV sterilisation;
- Conduct a risk assessment prior to commencing the installation stage and adhere to relevant health and safety guidelines.
Overall this training was very successful with 14 people completing the training.


Definition : The Richter scale is a measurement tool that defines the moment magnitude of an earthquake (also called earthquake), not its intensity. This measure was developed by Charles Francis Richter (1900 – 1985), an American seismologist in 1935.
The essential feature of this scale is that it is open. This means that it has no upper limit.
From a practical and historical point of view, the Richter scale is in fact limited to 9, which is the maximum upper limit ever observed. The strongest measured earthquake has a magnitude of 9.5 on the Richter scale measured in Chile during an earthquake in 1960.
There is another scale that measures the intensity (measure of damage caused by the earthquake) and magnitude of earthquakes. This is the Mercali scale.
Microearthquake impossible to feel but recordable by seismometers.Microearthquake impossible to feel but recordable by seismometers..So it’s not possible to feel it…
Strong earthquake capable of causing major destruction over a large distance (180 km) around the epicentre..<8.0 to 8.9.
|Less than 1.9||Micro-earthquake impossible to feel.|
|From 2.0 to 2.9||Micro-earthquake impossible to feel but recordable by seismometers.|
|From 3.0 to 3.9||Does not cause damage but is beginning to be felt slightly.|
|From 4.0 à 4.9||An earthquake that can move objects but does not usually cause damage.|
|From 5.0 to 5.9||Earthquake capable of causing significant damage to old buildings or buildings with construction defects. Little damage to modern buildings.|
|From 6.0 to 6.9||Strong earthquake capable of causing major destruction over a large distance (180 km) around the epicentre.|
|From 7.0 to 7.9||Earthquake capable of major to moderate destruction over a very wide area depending on distance.|
|From 8.0 to 8.9||Earthquake capable of major destruction over a very large area of several hundred kilometres.|
|Above 9||Earthquake capable of destroying everything over a very large area.|


While the Building Information Modeling (BIM) approach has been an important enabler for the digital transformation in the construction sector, the concept of Construction 2.0 gradually begins to take place. It is still difficult today to give a precise definition, even if the experts are unanimous on the fact that it will be a major revolution for the industry. Join us at the seminar where three distinguished speakers will share their expert views on the next revolution in the construction industry.

Specific Technical Information on PE Pipe Manufacturing in NZ
The PIPA NZ PE Industry Group has also produced additional information relevant to the manufacture of PVC pipe in New Zealand.
Technical Notes #1 Can gunmetal tapping bands be installed onto PE pipe and provide a long asset life?
Simple answer to the question is No.
Gunmetal tapping bands for waterworks purposes must be manufactured to AS/NZS 4793:2009 - Mechanical Tapping Bands for Waterworks Purposes
The scope on page 4 of this Standard reads;
This standard specifies requirements for design, materials, and performance in service of PN16 mechanical tapping bands used for the connection of property service pipes to reticulation water mains.
It applies to tapping bands with and without electrical insulation, for mechanical connection to standard water mains, with the exception of polyethylene water mains that are covered in AS/NZS4129 fittings for polyethylene pipes for pressure applications. The operating temperature range is 0 to 40 degrees c.”
This excludes the use of fittings manufactured to the AS / NZS 4793 standard from being used on PE pipe. The standard clearly points out that service connections or tapping onto PE pipe should employ fittings manufactured to AS/NZS4129.
Technical Notes #1 Why can’t gunmetal tapping bands be used on PE pipe? – Even if they appear to fit?
Polyethylene is a visco-elastic pipe material. What this means in simple terms is the material can deform under stress or load. The material undergoes “reversion” and “creep” when compression stress is applied onto the material, particularly where the compression area contacting the pipe is small. Gunmetal tapping bands typically have a narrow saddle design and are specifically made for pipe materials that are not visco-elastic, such as; GRP, AC, Steel and Ductile Iron. When a narrow body gunmetal tapping band is bolted onto a PE pipe the stress applied to the pipe from the narrow saddle causes it to revert or creep away from the tapping band over time, losing the seal around the tapping. Eventually the PE pipe will leak early in its asset life.
Conclusion: The only correct fittings to use on PE pipes, including mechanical tapping saddles and electrofusion tapping saddles are manufactured to AS/NZS4129. These fittings are designed and tested for use with PE pipe and have a wide saddle design which spreads the compression load across a wider pipe barrel area.

Heavy equipment refers to heavy-duty-vehicles, specially designed for executing construction tasks. They are also known as heavy machines, heavy trucks, construction equipment, engineering equipment, or heavy vehicles. Mostly seen heavy equipment are bulldozer, tractor, grader, excavator, dump truck, backhoe loader, crane, construction and mining truck. Anyone of them is a big investment and they are often left at work sites unsupervised and vulnerable to theft. The fact is heavy equipment theft is rising! Moreover, is your heavy equipment idling, aggressive driving, fuel waste, unauthorized or rough use? The end is you have to pay more to operate and maintain them.

WORK BEGINS ON 250-ROOM EMBASSY SUITES UPTOWN
A joint venture between BPR Properties of Greensboro and CMC Hotels in Raleigh has started site work on a 10-story, 250-room Embassy Suites hotel near the Charlotte Convention Center.
Birju Patel of BPR says the two firms expect to begin pouring concrete in about 30 days at the property, formerly home to the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church.
The hotel, announced last year, will have one level of underground parking, and Patel says construction will take between 18 and 24 months, with completion of the project expected by late 2016.
The site is on East Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, between Brevard and Caldwell streets.
The project will include about 5,000 square feet of retail, and Patel says the firms would like to find a restaurant to occupy the space and perhaps a small coffee shop, if there’s enough room for two tenants.
Patel is a principal in the project along with his father, BPR Properties’ Bhupen Patel, and his sister, Shama Patel, owner of Flex & Fit health club uptown.
The general contractor on the project is Chhabra Construction, CMC Hotels’ in-house construction company.

Designing and constructing a duplex house in Bangladesh is an exciting and multifaceted endeavor that demands careful planning, creativity, and adherence to local regulations. A duplex house, characterized by two separate living units within a single structure, offers a harmonious blend of space utilization and functional design. This concept has gained popularity in Bangladesh due to the need for efficient land utilization in urban and suburban areas, making it essential to create a comprehensive plan that takes into account various factors, from initial ideation to the final construction phase.
The process of developing a duplex house involves a dynamic interplay of architectural aesthetics, engineering precision, and practical considerations. As you embark on this journey, it’s vital to recognize that the design and construction should not only align with your preferences and requirements but also meet the distinctive climatic, cultural, and regulatory aspects of Bangladesh.
Designing and constructing a duplex house in Bangladesh involves several steps and considerations. Here’s a general outline to guide you through the process:
1. Initial Planning:
Determine the purpose of the duplex: Will it be for personal use or rental purposes?
Set a budget for the entire project, including design, construction, and any unforeseen costs.
Choose a suitable location that meets your requirements and is in compliance with local zoning regulations.
Hire an architect or a design professional who is familiar with local building codes and regulations.
Collaborate with the architect to create a design that suits your needs, considering factors like the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, living spaces, and overall layout.
Ensure that the design adheres to the local building codes and regulations, including setbacks, building height, and safety standards.
Work with a structural engineer to create a solid and safe structural design for the duplex.
Ensure the design can withstand local environmental conditions like earthquakes, floods, and heavy rainfall.
4. Approvals and Permits:
Obtain necessary approvals and permits from local authorities before starting construction. This might involve submitting the architectural and structural plans for review.
Hire a reliable construction company with experience in building duplex houses.
Monitor the construction progress to ensure that the design and quality are being executed as planned.
Coordinate with the construction team to address any unforeseen issues that might arise during construction.
6. Utilities and Services:
Plan the installation of utilities such as water, electricity, sewage, and internet connections for both units of the duplex.
7. Interior Finishes:
Choose interior finishes, including flooring, wall paint, tiles, cabinets, and fixtures, that match the overall design theme.
Consider landscaping options for the outdoor areas, if applicable. This might include garden spaces, pathways, and outdoor seating areas.
9. Final Inspections:
Conduct thorough inspections of both units to ensure they meet safety and quality standards.
Address any issues identified during inspections before handing over the completed duplex.
Once construction is complete and all necessary inspections are passed, you can formally hand over the duplex to its intended use (personal or rental).
Remember that construction practices and regulations can vary across different areas of Bangladesh, so it’s crucial to work closely with professionals who are knowledgeable about the local context. Additionally, engaging local experts will help ensure that your duplex house design and construction project goes smoothly and complies with all relevant regulations.


What is the meaning of second moment of inertia?
Filters. (engineering) A measure of a body’s resistance to bending; second moment of area. noun.
What is meant by polar moment of inertia?
Polar Moment of Inertia is a measure of an object’s capacity to oppose or resist torsion when some amount of torque is applied to it on a specified axis. If we put it in simple terms polar moment of inertia is the resistance offered by a beam or shaft when it is being distorted by torsion.
Can you subtract moments of inertia?
With step 3, we calculate the moment of inertia of each subarea around the parallel axis passing through its centroid. Note that addition (or subtraction) of the moments of inertia, Ii,g , of the multiple subareas, is allowed in this step because all of them are defined around the same axis of rotation, the global one.
Why is the second moment of inertia important?
The planar second moment of area provides insight into a beam’s resistance to bending due to an applied moment, force, or distributed load perpendicular to its neutral axis, as a function of its shape. In engineering (especially mechanical and civil), moment of inertia commonly refers to the second moment of the area.
Where is moment of inertia used?
The moment of inertia of a rotating flywheel is used in a machine to resist variations in applied torque to smooth its rotational output.
Why do we need polar moment of inertia?
Simply put, the polar moment of inertia is a shaft or beam’s resistance to being distorted by torsion, as a function of its shape. The greater the magnitude of the polar moment of inertia, the greater the torsional resistance of the object.
How do we calculate moment of inertia?
General Formula Basically, for any rotating object, the moment of inertia can be calculated by taking the distance of each particle from the axis of rotation (r in the equation), squaring that value (that’s the r2 term), and multiplying it times the mass of that particle.
Can we add moment of inertia?
Moments of inertia for the parts of the body can only be added when they are taken about the same axis. The moments of inertia in the table are generally listed relative to that shape’s centroid though. Because each part has its own individual centroid coordinate, we cannot simply add these numbers.
How to calculate the summary moment of inertia?
Summary Moments of inertia can be found by summing or integrating over every ‘piece of mass’ that makes up an object, multiplied by the square of the distance of each ‘piece of mass’ to the axis. Moment of inertia is larger when an object’s mass is farther from the axis of rotation.
How is the moment of inertia of a thin ring calculated?
The Moment of Inertia with respect to rotation around the z-axis of a single mass of 1 kg distributed as a thin ring as indicated in the figure above, can be calculated as Point mass is the basis for all other moments of inertia since any object can be “built up” from a collection of point masses.
Is the moment of inertia an integral over mass?
The moment of inertia integral is an integral over the mass distribution. However, we know how to integrate over space, not over mass. We therefore need to find a way to relate mass to spatial variables. We do this using the linear mass density λ of the object, which is the mass per unit length.
What are the moments of inertia of a hollow cylinder?
Moments of Inertia for a thin-walled hollow cylinder is comparable with the point mass (1) and can be expressed as: Moments of Inertia for a rectangular plane with axis through center can be expressed as Moments of Inertia for a rectangular plane with axis along edge can be expressed as

What is a Rubber roofing for Sheds
A rubber roof for a shed is a durable roofing material that protects your structure from the elements and provides comfort and security to your family. Rubber roofing is an ideal alternative to metal, tile, and slate roofs because it resists mold, rot, pests, snow, and ice.
Because rubber is an elastic material, it stretches and compresses easily without damaging the underlying surfaces. Rubber roofs are also extremely long-lasting; with appropriate care, they may last up to 75 years. Rubber roofs can cover the roofs of sheds, garages, carports, and other similar structures. They are also waterproof and will not rot or mildew, which makes them an excellent choice for outdoor storage areas.
They also provide insulation and reduce heat loss, which can help keep your shed warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. Rubber roofs are simple to install and maintain, and they will keep the weather out of your shed.
This article provides complete information and a guideline to the readers about the types of rubber roofing for sheds, their pros and cons, and their
There are several different types of rubber roofing. The three main types discussed in this article are EPDM, TPO, and PVC.
Each type has pros and cons, so it is essential to consider your options before making a final decision.
EPDM is a rubber roofing material. It’s a blend of polyethylene and dimethylene, making it highly durable. Apart from it, EPDM makes it ideal for extreme weather conditions such as rain and snow. It’s also able to withstand temperatures of -40°F to 140°F (-40°C to 60°C).
That means it can handle everything from extreme heat to extreme cold. EPDM is a high-performance rubber roofing used for commercial and residential purposes. Because EPDM is made with two different kinds of rubber, it can perform different functions. One type is used for flexibility, while the other is for insulation.
Both of these properties makes it both flexible and resistant to heat and cold. Due to this, it is also an excellent roofing material.
It has excellent weather resistance, sound insulation, and low maintenance costs. However, EPDM-type rubber roofing is not appropriate for use in very hot or cold parts of the world because it can melt in these conditions.
TPO-type roofing is made from a combination of two materials: expanded polystyrene (EPS) and asphalt. It has the advantage of being lightweight, cheap, easy to install, and has a high resistance to fire and heat. However, it has been proven to have poor water-resistance properties due to its porous structure, making it unsuitable for use on buildings that need to be flooded during an emergency. TPO roofing is also prone to leaks when subjected to environmental conditions such as snow, wind, rain, and ice.
You should inspect the TPO roofing for any damage or potential leaks on a regular basis. It’s also advisable to avoid leaving your TPO roofing too exposed to direct sunlight. If you’re considering installing TPO roofing on your house, choose the suitable material that suits your building needs.
TPO roofing also offers excellent energy efficiency. It keeps the temperature inside your building from getting too hot or too cold, which saves you money on utility bills. Plus, they are good at reducing noise levels inside your building by minimizing the transmission of sound waves through the roof membrane.
PVC rubber roofing
PVC type roofing is a type of roofing material composed of PVC plastic. It’s also known as Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or vinyl. This type of roofing is often used for flat roofs but can also be used on hip and gable roofs. This type of PVC roofing is solid and durable, making it the most popular type.
However, it’s not the best option for extreme heat and humidity areas because it can easily crack when exposed to high temperatures and humidity levels. Another disadvantage of PVC roofing is that it does not endure as long as other roofing materials. Because of this, you’ll need to replace your PVC roof every 20 years at the absolute least.
PVC rubber roofing is flexible, lightweight, and relatively easy to install. It is a popular choice for many homeowners because of its lightweight, easy installation, and low maintenance requirements.
Some of the disadvantages include its susceptibility to damage from UV exposure and high temperatures, which can cause the material to degrade over time. Because PVC rubber roofing is not as durable as other types of roofing material, it may be more expensive in the long run than other options.
PVC-type rubber roofing has a good appearance and waterproof capability.
- Rubber roofing is one of the most reliable options for shed roofs because of its durability. Since rubber is waterproof, it can withstand many weather conditions and will not quickly deteriorate or tear.
- Rubber roofs are also non-toxic, so they are safe for your pets and children to play in.
- Rubber roofs are simple to install and don’t require any special tools or training.
- Rubber roofing is a great choice for shed owners who wish to maintain their roof safe and secure.
- Rubber roofing is a low-cost and environmentally beneficial option for protecting your shed from the weather. While it initially costs more than other materials, you can expect to save money over time by avoiding expensive repairs.
- Rubber roofing is extremely simple to install, and the costs of installation may be postponed. At the same time, you find the right location for your shed.
- A rubber roof is also energy efficient because it reduces building heat loss. By reducing your home’s energy use, you may save money on your power bills.
- Further, rubber roofs are resistant to hail storms, making them especially valuable in areas prone to severe weather conditions.
These great features make rubber roofing for sheds a popular choice among shed owners.
There are some disadvantages with the rubber roofing.
- Because rubber is a synthetic material, it may not be as durable as an asphalt or concrete roof. It is also more prone to leaks than a traditional roof.
- There are also concerns regarding the influence on the environment.
- Rubber roofs are made from trees, which means that they take up space and need to be harvested. Rubber roofs are also more expensive than asphalt or steel roofs.
- Also, there can be aesthetic issues with rubber roofs.
- While they may look attractive at first glance, they can fade over time and must be periodically resealed or re-coated.
- Rubber roofs are more expensive than traditional materials like asphalt, concrete, or fiberglass. To minimize mold and mildew damage, they must be cleaned and maintained on a regular basis.
- Rubber roofing also take time to apply and can be expensive to install.
- Rubber also requires maintenance and could start to deteriorate over time, requiring replacement.
- Lastly, rubber roofs can be challenging to clean and may require specialized equipment.
With all these drawbacks, weighing the pros against the cons is essential before choosing rubber roofing for sheds.
What is the least expensive roofing material for a shed?
If you’re looking for the least expensive roofing material for a shed, the most cost-effective option would be asphalt shingles. Asphalt shingles are affordable, easy to install, and widely available at most home improvement stores. They come in various colors and styles, making them a versatile choice for any shed design.
Another affordable option is metal roofing, which can be made from galvanized steel, aluminum, or corrugated metal. Metal roofing is lightweight, durable, and can last up to 50 years with proper maintenance. It is also fire-resistant, making it a safer choice for your shed. For a more natural look, consider using thatch roofing, which is made from dry vegetation such as straw, grass, or leaves. Thatch roofing is relatively inexpensive, but it requires more maintenance than other roofing materials, as it is susceptible to rot, mold, and pests. Finally, consider using rolled roofing, made from the same materials as asphalt shingles but thinner and comes in large rolls. Rolled roofing is easy to install, making it a popular choice for DIYers on a budget.
MSR roll roofing is often the least expensive material for a shed roof. Because roll roofing can swiftly cover huge areas by just rolling it out and nailing it down, it is also the most straightforward shed roof to erect.
The cost to install or replace a rubber roof typically ranges from $6,000 to $18,000, with the average price being close to $12,000. As you are aware, several variables, such as materials, labor, obstacles, and adaptations made to the roof, can impact the price.
Rubber roofing is an excellent option for people who want to add roofing to an existing shed or gazebo, keeping in mind various factors like cost-effectiveness, efficiency for heat loss, eco-friendly, low energy transmission, less installation cost, etc. EPDM rubber roofing, as you can see from our list, has more advantages than most other roofing options. It’s a tough, long-lasting, and resistant material that’s easy to fix if something goes wrong.

African architecture is often very sophisticated in its adaptation to local materials and climate. In arid regions where tall trees are not available, people build with bricks of dried mud and straw. Where stone and labor are available, African builders have created structures of amazing strength and sophistication. In many urban areas today, multi-storied buildings made of steel and concrete are more common than structures in any specifically African style. This is one of the modern university buildings, which houses the language laboratory in Ouagadougou.


LEED is transforming the way we think about how buildings and communities are designed, constructed, maintained and operated across the globe.
LEED, or Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design, is a green building certification program that recognizes best-in-class building strategies and practices. To receive LEED certification, building projects satisfy prerequisites and earn points to achieve different levels of certification. Prerequisites and credits differ for each rating system, and teams choose the best fit for their project.
LEED is flexible enough to apply to all project types.
Each rating system groups requirements that address the unique needs of building and project types on their path towards LEED certification. Once a project team chooses a rating system, they’ll use the appropriate credits to guide design and operational decisions.
There are five rating systems that address multiple project types: Building Design and Construction, Interior Design and Construction, Building Operations and Management, Neighborhood Development, and Homes.
Each rating system is made up of a combination of credit categories.
Within each of the credit categories, there are specific prerequisites projects must satisfy and a variety of credits projects can pursue to earn points. The number of points the project earns determines its level of LEED certification.
The number of points a project earns determines the level of LEED certification.
There are four levels of certification - the number of points a project earns determines the level of LEED certification that the project will receive. Typical certification thresholds are: Certified, Silver, Gold and Platinum.
Why choose LEED?
LEED certification is recognized across the globe as the premier mark of achievement in green building.
If you’re serious about saving money, conserving energy, reducing water consumption, improving indoor air quality, making better building material choices, and driving innovation, then LEED is the best choice. Bar none.
Third-party certification verifies that your project is designed, built and operating the way it was intended. It is also your first step toward managing your building through its entire lifecycle.
Behind the LEED program is an immense infrastructure developed to support the leaders in the industry as they innovate and create cutting-edge, high performance buildings. We make significant investments each year to maintain, operate and improve LEED and its delivery. No other rating system has an infrastructure that comes close.
Lifetime of returns
LEED-certified buildings cost less to operate, reducing energy and water bills by as much as 40%. Businesses and organizations across the globe use LEED to increase the efficiency of their buildings, freeing up valuable resources that can be used to create new jobs, attract and retain top talent, expand operations and invest in emerging technologies.
LEED buildings have faster lease-up rates and may qualify for a host of incentives like tax rebates and zoning allowances. Not to mention they retain higher property values.

Choosing the roof style and which materials to use can be a daunting process. The roofing material you choose can truly enhance the beauty of your home. The type of material, style, color and cost are all major factors in making the best selection. Additionally eco-friendly alternatives, such as those with a high Energy Star rating and materials that can be recycled, are options that you may want to consider when making your decision.
Tried and True Classic Roofing Materials
Get an Old-World Look with Clay Roof Tiles
Authentic clay tile is the historical roof material of choice, dating back to ancient times, and it comes in various soft and rich, earthy colors. It’s a look that pigmented concrete cannot faithfully replicate. Rather than fading with time, clay tiles patinate, blossoming splendidly, and for some architectural styles, clay roofs are the ideal option if you can swing the cost.
Slate Makes for Fireproof Roofs That Last
This high-end material is expensive but long lasting. In fact, slate has been a preferred roofing choice of homeowners for hundreds of years. Any material that stands the test of time like this is one that should be on your radar. Genuine slate is a metamorphic stone most often found in quarries in northeast North America, the United Kingdom and Brazil. As a roofing material, no other product can match its durability, high-end appearance and fireproof qualities. Slate quarried for roofing is a dense, sound rock that's exceptionally tough and substantial.
Asphalt – Affordable and Easy to Install
Let’s just get this out of the way: Asphalt shingles are not exciting. Your friends will not drop their jaws in awe over this material, and if your home were a Broadway production, asphalt shingles would not be the star of the show. But that’s OK. Asphalt shingles do not seek the limelight. They do their job quietly, protecting more homes across the United States than any other type of roof material. Asphalt shingles (alternatively called composition shingles) are a manufactured product consisting of a fiberglass base mat coated in composition asphalt material to provide waterproofing and additional strength. Historically, the base layer was often made of organic material, but over time fiberglass has become the preferred choice for the base.
The Advantages of a Metal Roof
If you are interested in making your house more energy efficient, adding a beautiful and striking major design element, and never having to replace your roof again? Consider a metal roof. While the cost of a metal roof is significantly higher than a shingled roof, it will likely last a lifetime and it is practically maintenance-free. The practical advantages of a metal roof are that it makes your home safer in harsh weather and can significantly cut down on your energy bills. Aesthetically, a metal roof is versatile in design to complement many architectural styles, from a century old farmhouse to a contemporary home.
Concrete tile roofs are the master of disguise
From an architectural standpoint, concrete tile can play many parts. Molded styles are made to mimic natural clay, slate and shake roofs. Concrete roof tiles are as well, which helps make this material one of the most universally popular roof selections around the world. Concrete roof tiles consist of cement, sand, water and pigment. They are mass-produced at regional facilities, where materials are mixed and extruded before being coated, cured and prepared for shipment. Concrete roof tiles are widely used. They have a long life span and are available in various colors and molded shapes — and cost less than clay, shake or slate.
The Natural Beauty of Wooden Roof Shingles and Shakes
Natural Wood is not the popular roof material choice it once was, thanks to the proliferation of asphalt, composition, and concrete roof tiles. But for some there is simply no substitute. Wood can be faked but never perfectly replicated. Like the inhabitants it keeps dry, wood roofs age with the passage of time, turning a silvery gray under the sun. If you live in North America, this is likely the roof material of your childhood home (or at least your parents’), and is the ideal choice for many traditional home styles.
Since a roof must withstand the worst of nature’s onslaughts, only the heartiest of species will suffice. Western red cedar is the most commonly utilized wood for shingles and shakes in North America. California redwood and cypress are also readily available, while pine shingles are offered in some regions. These wood types all have a superior resistance to decay plus other characteristics related to ease of installation and appearance, making them superior wood material options for roofs.
Alternative Roof Materials to Buck the Mainstream
A Green / "Living" Roof
A natural green living roof can become a true landscape, and though arguably more expensive and requiring more maintenance than other alternatives, these rooftop habitats offer fantastic advantages. The lush, natural curb appeal, superb insulation and stormwater management benefits are difficult to match. This is also a roof material type that actually reduces greenhouse gasses. It’s a living habitat on your roof, attracting birds, bees, butterflies and more.
This old-world option has drawbacks, such as flammability and lack of mold resistance, but these common criticisms are possibly overstated. Thatch installers say this ancient roof material, when installed correctly, can last 50 years or more, and is more fire-resistant than folks give it credit for. The natural look is undeniably authentic, and the material is renewable and cheap. Thatch roofs are not common in the U.S. for residences, but are more frequently used on ancillary structures, especially in tropical climates.
The truth is, many of the materials covered in this series on roof options can be used to create a “cool” roof, one that reflects or otherwise mitigates heat. Metal roofs, membrane systems, white tile roofs (like the one shown here) and even living roofs can all be described as cool roofs. There are also added coatings available to improve the reflective characteristics of most roof materials. Cool roofs offer superior reflective qualities due to material characteristics or color, reflecting heat from the home structure and thus decreasing heat gain in the home. This lessens the extent of air conditioning required and is undeniably a benefit in hot climates.
A copper roof is a statement, and it’s one you’ll pay a premium for. Metal roofs themselves are relatively expensive, and copper is the premium roof metal. But there is something grand about copper on a roof, and it’s bright sheen, seen on the rooftop above, will turn a blue-green hue in time. While a copper roof provides excellent longevity, durability and reflective qualities, it is an extremely expensive option that does not have much demonstrative benefit (except appearance) compared to standard metal roofs.


Newport News, Virginia is the fifth largest city in the Old Dominion. It's main area of commerce is found off of Jefferson Avenue at Patrick Henry Mall. Every holiday season this area sees increased congestion in automobile traffic. This brief study analyzes the creation of a more pedestrian friendly space by building parking structures and adding green spaces surrounding the existing mall.
Patrick Henry Mall
Envision a new Patrick Henry Mall. One with two parking garages providing 2,400 covered spaces and paved lots with 900 spots to increase the total beyond the 2011 parking capacity of 3,250. The remaining land could be redeveloped into public parks with seating areas and fountains.
The image attached assumes that two structures similar to the new four story parking garage at Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi, with a capacity of 1,205 spaces each, were built at the rear of the mall near the food court entrance.
Now imagine if the developers of Yoder Plaza had considered building this shopping center with pedestrians in mind. Instead of a large, vast parking lot, the two main retail buildings would face each other forming a pedestrian corridor. Three parking garages surround the area providing ample spaces for visitors. An additional entrance to the complex is added next to Barnes and Noble increasing traffic flow in and out of Yoder Plaza.

The pressure measurements (in millivolts) are collected with a dynamic soil pressure cell sensor, which is set on top of subgrade. One of the reasons for choosing the measurement is that the sensor is still fully functional after four years of operation while many other sensors installed in the pavement have failed. Although the data collected by sensors are automatic and frequent, the nature of pavement facility makes the replacement of failed sensors very difficult. The data are presented in Figure 1.
For comparison, the results obtained through OLS and RE approaches are also presented. It is shown by the istatistics that among the three approaches, all of the parameters are significant at a 95% confidence level.
