Doors and windows are an important part of the building as an openable barrier. The requirement for doors and windows is usually low thermal conductivity, sound insulation, waterproof, fire resistant, etc. Currently, the new requirement is energy saving where the cold areas are separated and lesser energy consume on cooling or heating. Another is the important part of the architectural design of a building so their shape, size, and color will have a big impact on the overall view of the building.

Introduction

The type of doors and windows are louver, frame, ironmongery, sliding, overhang, awning, French etc. The casement doors and windows are one of those common types which the framework are usually wood, steel, aluminium, glass, or combination of any of these materials. The material for shutter can be timber, plywood, glass, block or any material that should meet the minimum requirement of the industrialization of buildings which is sturdy, durable, flexible to open, tightly closed and easy to repair and clean.

Electronic technology is an emerging technology developed by western countries such as Europe and the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In the 20th century, electronic products are having a breakthrough in communication and transport thus contributed to the advancement of modern science and technology. Electronic products require electricity from an electrical grid. Thus an electrical grid transmits electricity from the power station then distributes the electricity to the substations and finally to individual customers.

Introduction

With the advancement of technology, the power station or electric generator can now shrink to a more scalable size and can be mobile at the same time. A Genset is an electrical generator that combines an engine to form a self-contained equipment. The kind of electrical generator has the advantages on independently supply electricity without the necessity of connection with electrical grid and also act as an emergency power supply if the grid fails. There are different types of Genset (Natural gas generators, gasoline generators, etc) and one of the most common ones is the diesel generators which is mostly used in industrial and commercial establishments like industrial plants, hospital, office building, etc.

Industrial supplies and hardware can be separated into two type which is a hardware tool and hardware accessories. Hardware tools are referred to as metal part that made of iron, steel, and aluminium by the processing of forging, rolling or cutting. These tools include various machine, electric, pneumatic, cutting tools, auto maintenance tools, agricultural tools, lifting tools, measuring tools, jigs, molds, grinding wheels, drill bits, abrasives, etc. Most hardware tools are sold worldwide and exported from China. Furthermore, in 2013 developed countries like Europe and the United States are having rapid development on production technology and rising labor prices only produce premium or special tool which left China a strong market potential on transporting normal grade tool throughout the world.

Epoxy is a thermosetting polymer which is the end products of epoxy resin that is a very versatile resin that normally used as a coating for product or material. The coating usually provides extra strength, least susceptible to scratching, fading, chemicals, cracking or staining.

Introduction

The usage includes in metal coating, paint brush manufacturing, structural adhesives, electronic component glue, etc. Above all these usages, epoxy flooring is the most common usage of all. Epoxy flooring has the feature of a smooth surface, easy to clean, wear resistant, scratch resistant, water resistant and chemical resistance.

Anything requires to be stored in an enclosed area with a certain temperature will be known as a cold room, alternatively also called a refrigerating chamber. As room temperature or ambient temperature cannot be maintained through controlled environment properly, an artificial-generated temperature in the storage room must be created. The system that is built either mechanically or through construction design, is basically specified with a mutual discussion between tenant and the consultant or contractor.

Insulation in a building refers to using any effective material as insulation for many purposes, mainly to improve the comfort level and safety of building occupants. There are a few types of insulation, whilst thermal insulation is commonly used for building insulation.

Heat will always travel from a hot place to the a colder area. Heat travels through a building envelope by means of convection, conduction and radiation. Convection is the circulation of heat. As the air becomes warm, it rises and carries heat away from walls. As hot air rises, cold air is drawn in to replace the raised air. This explains why the second floor always feels warmer than the ground floor in a double-storey house. Conduction is another means of heat travelling through a solid material, where heat is transferred from a hotter area to a colder area. Conduction occurs when the heat from the warmer outside wall is transferred to the colder inside wall. Conduction is not limited only to the wall, heat can be conducted through the entire building envelope, including the roof and foundation. Radiation is a radiant heat source that warms the building envelope. For example, a roof absorbs the radiation, the heat is being transferred from the roof to the ceiling. Therefore, heat or thermal insulation is a way to prevent heat transfer by convection, conduction, and radiation. The materials used as thermal insulators are usually poor thermal conductors. They can greatly reduce heat from getting in a building or contain heat from escaping the building.

Acoustic insulation is useful for the construction of theatres, auditoriums, cinemas, karaoke clubs, libraries, etc. Sound travels in the form of longitudinal waves and travels fastest in solids, and slowest in the air by vibration. Sound can be reflected from a hard and smooth surface, absorbed by materials with high absorption power, or insulated which prevents sound from passing through the insulation.
