Mirror glass facades are a visit card of the modern architecture. They are used both for skyscrapers and typical buildings too. But there is a problem as glasses become dirties from power, rain or snow very quickly and sometimes crack or break under an external impact. To maintain facades in order, stationary facade maintenance systems (Building maintenance units, BMU) are broadly applied. Their appearance was a revolution and today they are assigned by a low in many countries. Nowhere a rope access is applied as it isn’t effective, safe and profitable and the last mentioned is the main reason. Our discussion with Michael Kurohtin, a designer engineer of the Russian company “LTECH”, is about reasons why it is better not to save money on facade maintenance systems.

Russian Federal laws on life protect ion in buildings. Life is the risk to lose a life. That is perhaps one of the reasons why the beginning of the new millennium was marked by the adoption of a series of federal laws based on risk assessment in the sphere of safety.
Cooling Systems Optimization
(Issue of a magazine 6/2011, page 108)
Modern trends to increase energy efficiency in the building industry more frequently pre-determinate an approach to elaboration of design decisions for engineering systems. It is very important to correctly determine and choose a concept of more efficient system on this stage. The company Carrier shared its experience of efficiency estimation and cooling system optimization for buildings.

The more storeys the building has, the more difficult to organize an effective transfer of passengers inside it. Also today, there are increased requirements for environmental performance of construction objects, which primarily relates to lower power consumption. Therefore, to ensure a comfortable, safe and environment-friendly passenger service in highrise buildings should apply the most advanced technical solutions, in every case correctly calculating the load on the elevators, and installing them with all the features of the object.

The company Carrier always works on creation of ecologically effective technologies for cooling and air-conditioning systems. The Evergreen chillers offer efficient and enduring equipment operating on the base of ecologically safe chlorine-free cooling agents which aren’t subject to phasing out. A Carrier’s choice is in favour of a cooling agent HFC-134a which doesn’t influence on the ozone layer and it is possible to use ecologically efficient equipment not reducing high indices of cooling power.

Construction Planning: Theory and Practice
(Issue of a magazine 4/2011, page 108)
Equity participation in the Joint construction of the house is now one of the basic mechanisms of purchase housing. After the federal law № 214 came into force, more and more developers are choosing this way of implementing their projects. Indeed, if there is a bona fide developer, for him this share building is highly profitable: he could finance the construction by the due date, using only minimal debt. But even developer in good faith is not insured against mistakes of designers, which may well disrupt alleged construction time of the building, which will need to invest additional funds and cause discontent of shareholders.

Fire is a very complex chemical process influenced by many factors that affect its growth, spread, and development. Structural Fire Load establishment requires a basic understanding of the chemical and physical nature of fire. This includes information describing sources of heat energy, composition and characteristics of fuels, and environmental conditions necessary to sustain the combustion process. It is important first to define curtain terms and conditions that will be used in this book, since some definitions differ from one source to another.
