Adolescent Males In Secondary School In Ireland: Alcohol Use And Depressed Mood, Robert A. Kerr

Irish Journal of Applied Social Studies

Per capita alcohol consumption by Irish teenagers has doubled over the past three decades. There has also been a doubling of the suicide rate among young men. The aim of this study was to measure the correlation between alcohol consumption and negative mood (as measured by elements of the Beck Depression Inventory) in a sample (n = 169) of final-year secondary school male students. A questionnaire was devised to ascertain frequency, type and quantity of alcohol consumed, as well as attitudes towards drinking in general. The questionnaire also assessed overall mood disturbance, and these two sets of results were analysed …

Rethinking Daylighting And Compliance, John Mardaljevic

SDAR* Journal of Sustainable Design & Applied Research

Daylight in buildings is the natural illumination experienced by the occupants of any man-made construction with openings to the outside. Our attempts to formulate some measure of daylight provision in buildings can be traced back over a century, and the daylight factor as we know it today is over 50 years old.

Still the most common measure found in guidelines and recommendations worldwide, the daylight factor is used routinely and, it is fair to say, often rather uncritically.

The consideration of daylight in buildings has received a new impetus from the accumulation of evidence on the wider benefits of daylight …

Leds Are The Panacea – And Other Fairy Tales, James Duff, Peter Whitty

SDAR* Journal of Sustainable Design & Applied Research

Recently, there has been an explosive growth in
the popularity of LED luminaries. Like all markets
experiencing such expansion, it has attracted many
new manufacturers.Some of these have a reputation to uphold, but many do not.As such, it can be difficult for designers to differentiate good quality products from bad quality products.

This paper explores a set of standardised test methods and
performance criteria associated with LED luminaries.
Moreover, it proposes a set of questions for discussion
within the lighting community. These questions
would be used to interrogate manufacturer data
and aid with the determination of product quality.

Wind Resource In The Urban Environment, Derek Joseph Kearney

SDAR* Journal of Sustainable Design & Applied Research

Renewable energy technologies, such as wind
turbines, have to be considered for new building
over 1000m2 under the Energy Performance of
Buildings Directive (2002). Accurate assessment of
the wind resource is a key component in the success
of a wind installation. Designers, planners and
architects also need wind data from urban areas to
support low-energy building design, natural
ventilation, air quality, pollution control, insurance
and wind engineering.

Over the last six years instrumentation has been installed at the Dublin
Institute of Technology (DIT) in two separate locations
to monitor the wind. The data has shown that the
wind resource will …

Performance Of A Demand Controlled Mechanical Extract Ventilation System For Dwellings, I Pollet, J Laverge, F Losfeld, M Reeves, A Vens, A Janssens

SDAR* Journal of Sustainable Design & Applied Research

The main aim of ventilation is to guarantee a good
indoor air quality, related to the energy consumed for
heating and fan(s). Active or passive heat recovery
systems seem to focus on the reduction of heating
consumption at the expense of fan electricity
consumption and maintenance. In this study, demandcontrolled
mechanical extract ventilation systems of
Renson (DCV1 and DCV2), based on natural supply in
the habitable rooms and mechanical extraction in the
wet rooms (or even the bedrooms), was analysed for
one year by means of multi-zone Contam simulations
on a reference detached house and compared with
standard MEV and …

The Small Wind Energy Estimation Tool (Sweet) –A Practical Application For A Complicated Resource, Keith Sunderland, Thomas Woolmington

SDAR* Journal of Sustainable Design & Applied Research

Of the forms of renewable energy available, wind energy is at the forefront of the European (and Irish) green initiative with wind farms supplying a significant proportion of electrical energy demand. Increasingly, this type of distributed generation (DG) represents a “paradigm shift” towards increased decentralisation of energy supply. However, because of the distances of most DG from urban areas where demand is greatest, there is a loss of efficiency.

One possible solution, placing smaller wind energy systems in urban areas, faces significant challenges. However, if a renewable solution to increasing energy demand is to be achieved, energy conversion systems in …
