Sei que, às vezes, o caminho que estou trilhando não é fácil, mas confio que Deus sempre cuidará de mim. Quando eu fechar os olhos, em oração, e pedir a Sua orientação, ele me dirá onde devo ir. Quando eu estender minha mão, sei que Ele colocará uma mão estendida para me levantar. Sei que, sem eu ter que esperar, Ele vai me mostrar o caminho e me fazer enxergar o que me encanta. Meu coração vai florir e eu saberei... ⁠Sem Deus não somos nada. Caminhar segundo a carne é seguir em direção a própria ruína. O que para o mundo é loucura para Jesus é vida, redenção, salvação e amor. Quando olhamos para nossas limitações, para aquilo que outros dizem a nosso respeito corremos o risco de perdermos a vida. O que realmente importa é se deixar guiar pela vontade do Senhor, agindo em obediência a Palavra e aceitando o projeto a nós confiado. A verdadeira felicidade consiste em viver na presença de Deus. Os clamores dados com fé e amor chegam ao Céu e retornam em forma de bênçãos. #eterno #jovenscristãos #jovemquadrangular #ieq #ieqpará https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp3y7vUMXay/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Wider Stable Doors CC Find!!!

✨✨✨Illusion EQ Custom Content On Patreon ✨✨✨

The issue with zooming out has been fixed on all three on 4th August 2023 so I recommend reinstalling these mods Functional, but only opens as much as it's narrower counterpart that it was cloned and edited from. Feel free to make your own swatches as well ♥ Took me hours to get the original wider door working properly so please don't steal (and definetily no uploading elsewhere without asking me first, paysites are a no-no in any case).

EA swatches on all except IEQ-Sims4-Wider-Stall-Door.package.

Regarding the Wider-STall-Door-w-custombars... Please note this noob was unable to make the bars look any nicer no matter how hard she tried. They're lacking in shades etc as I was unable to make them recolorable (fought with UV mapping and everything but too much of a noob to make them any better). BUT they do change shade alongside the main door's metal parts so you can recolor them alongside the door like that. IEQ-Sims4-Wider-Stall-Door and No bars-door has correct shadows too, the custom bar one still has the original EA mesh shadows.

A Road Map for Sustainable Building: The Advantages of LEED Certification

Agile Advisors provides LEED Consultancy in UAE, Businesses and organizations are realizing the value of sustainability in their operations as environmental awareness rises. The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) created the highly regarded LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification program, one of the most well-known standards for green buildings. Due to LEED certification, building design, construction, and operation are changing, lessening environmental effects while enhancing occupant well-being.  Compared to conventional structures, LEED-certified buildings are intended to consume less energy, water, and other resources. These structures use a great deal less power thanks to the installation of energy-efficient technologies, including solar panels, high-performance HVAC systems, and LED lighting.

Agile Advisors, a leading LEED Consultancy in Dubai, these upgrades eventually lead to cheaper operating and utility expenses. Research indicates that compared to non-certified buildings, LEED-certified structures use up to 25% less energy and 11% less water. The emphasis placed by LEED certification on enhancing indoor environmental quality (IEQ) is among its most significant features. This entails managing natural lighting, air quality, and non-toxic construction materials. Better air quality from a healthier interior environment can increase building occupants' comfort and productivity. Using low-emitting materials, better ventilation systems, and daylighting are just a few of the tactics used by LEED buildings to produce healthier environments.  LEED certification demonstrates a dedication to environmental responsibility.

We as a LEED Consultant, LEED buildings significantly contribute to the worldwide endeavor to mitigate climate change by limiting greenhouse gas emissions, saving energy and water, and eliminating waste. In addition, many LEED projects prioritize using locally produced, recycled, or quickly renewable sustainable building materials to minimize the carbon impact of construction. Buildings with LEED certification often fetch greater market values and rental prices than those without. This is because they are generally attractive to purchasers and tenants who value eco-friendly methods, energy efficiency, and sustainability. According to studies, obtaining LEED certification may raise a building's value by as much as 10%. Furthermore, as more tenants choose healthier, eco-friendly places, these buildings frequently have lower vacancy rates.

In our role as LEED Consultancy, Obtaining LEED certification shows a company's dedication to sustainability and energy efficiency. Companies that invest in LEED-certified buildings may position themselves as corporate social responsibility (CSR) leaders and benefit from improved marketability and brand recognition. As a result, customers, investors, and workers who care about the environment may be lured to businesses that prioritize sustainability. Buildings that meet LEED criteria are eligible for financial benefits from many governments, including grants, tax credits, and accelerated permitting procedures. Additionally, LEED-certified buildings are frequently ahead of the curve, guaranteeing compliance with future rules as the regulatory criteria for building energy performance tighten.

Key Factors to Consider in Sustainable Building Design

As the world becomes more aware of environmental issues, sustainable building design is becoming increasingly important. Sustainable buildings not only help protect the environment but also create healthier spaces for people to live and work. If you’re considering a sustainable approach for your building project, here are some key factors to keep in mind.

1. Energy Efficiency

One of the main goals of sustainable building design is to reduce energy consumption. Energy-efficient buildings use less energy for heating, cooling, lighting, and other functions, which helps lower greenhouse gas emissions. There are several ways to make a building more energy-efficient, such as using insulated windows, energy-saving lighting, and efficient HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems.

When designing for energy efficiency, you may want to consult with energy efficiency specialists who can provide guidance on the best practices for your building project.

2. Use of Renewable Energy

Incorporating renewable energy sources like solar, wind, or geothermal energy is a great way to reduce the environmental impact of a building. Solar panels, for example, can provide clean, renewable energy for electricity or heating water, which reduces the need for fossil fuels. Wind turbines and geothermal heating systems are also effective options for reducing a building’s carbon footprint.

If you’re considering renewable energy options, speak with "renewable energy consultants" to determine which systems will work best for your project.

3. Water Conservation

Water conservation is another critical aspect of sustainable building design. Reducing water usage in a building not only helps the environment but also saves money on utility bills. Installing low-flow faucets, dual-flush toilets, and rainwater harvesting systems are effective ways to conserve water. You can also consider using recycled or greywater for landscaping and other non-potable uses.

To ensure efficient water use, you may want to reach out to water management experts who specialize in sustainable water solutions for buildings.

4. Sustainable Materials

The materials used in a building have a significant impact on its sustainability. Choosing sustainable materials can reduce the building’s environmental footprint, improve air quality, and even support local economies. Materials like bamboo, reclaimed wood, recycled metal, and natural stone are popular choices for sustainable buildings. Avoid materials that release harmful chemicals or require a lot of energy to produce, like certain plastics or chemically treated woods.

Working with material sourcing specialists can help you find eco-friendly materials that are durable and cost-effective for your project.

5. Indoor Environmental Quality

Indoor environmental quality (IEQ) focuses on creating a healthy indoor environment by improving air quality, lighting, and thermal comfort. Good IEQ is essential for the well-being of occupants, as poor air quality and insufficient lighting can lead to health issues. Use non-toxic materials, improve ventilation, and maximize natural light to enhance IEQ.

For a healthier indoor environment, you may consider consulting indoor air quality experts who can guide you on ventilation and air filtration systems.

6. Site Selection and Orientation

The location and orientation of a building play a vital role in its sustainability. Choosing a site that is close to public transportation, services, and green spaces can reduce the environmental impact of the building. Orientation also matters; for example, positioning the building to maximize natural sunlight can reduce the need for artificial lighting and heating.

When planning a sustainable building, it’s helpful to consult site planning professionals to ensure you’re making the best choices for energy savings and environmental impact.

7. Waste Reduction and Recycling

Construction projects generate a large amount of waste, much of which ends up in landfills. Sustainable building design emphasizes reducing waste during both construction and operation. Using modular construction techniques, recycling construction materials, and planning for future renovations can minimize waste. It’s also a good idea to include recycling bins and composting options in the building for ongoing waste management.

For advice on reducing waste during construction, reach out to waste management consultants who specialize in sustainable practices.

8. Efficient Use of Space

Efficient use of space is an essential principle in sustainable design. A well-designed space that uses every square foot effectively reduces the need for unnecessary materials and energy. It also makes the building more adaptable to future changes. Flexible spaces that can serve multiple purposes are especially useful in sustainable design.

If you’re looking to optimize your building’s layout, consider working with space planning experts who can help you make the most of your available area.

9. Green Roofs and Walls

Green roofs and walls are becoming popular features in sustainable buildings. These living surfaces provide insulation, reduce stormwater runoff, and improve air quality by absorbing carbon dioxide. Green roofs also help keep buildings cooler in the summer, which reduces the need for air conditioning.

Adding green elements to your building can also create beautiful outdoor spaces for relaxation. If you’re interested in green roofs or walls, speak with landscape architects who specialize in eco-friendly designs.

10. Durability and Maintenance

Choosing durable materials and finishes ensures that a building will last longer and require fewer repairs, which is more sustainable in the long run. High-quality, durable materials reduce the need for replacement and help maintain the building’s appearance over time. Additionally, designing for easy maintenance can help reduce energy and water consumption in the future.

For recommendations on durable building materials, consider consulting construction material specialists who can advise on products with a low environmental impact.

11. Building Automation and Smart Systems

Smart technology can enhance the sustainability of a building by automating energy, lighting, and water systems. Building automation allows you to monitor and control various aspects of the building’s performance, making it easier to reduce energy and water usage. For example, motion sensors can turn off lights when no one is in the room, and smart thermostats can adjust heating based on occupancy.

For a high-tech sustainable building, it may be beneficial to work with building automation experts who can set up systems to improve efficiency.

Conclusion

Sustainable building design is not only good for the environment but also adds value to a property by reducing energy costs and improving indoor air quality. By considering factors like energy efficiency, water conservation, sustainable materials, and efficient space use, you can create a building that is both eco-friendly and comfortable. Whether you’re starting a new project or renovating an existing one, working with sustainable design professionals can help guide your choices toward a more sustainable future. Embrace these principles, and you’ll be on the path to creating a green building that benefits both its occupants and the planet.
