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.

As per spreading, diseases happen at the end of the year 2019, many companies have switched to working from home (WFH) mode for employees. Of course, there have been companies which make such arrangement even pre-pandemic but yet, the lockdown on the restriction at country-level globally escalate the conversion. Wide range of benefits can be enjoyed by both employers and the team with working from a home model, making its demand of home office setup including furnitures and other custom made carpentry works heats up the industry's specialized fabricators. Working from home requires a better-equipped fit-to-use for each of the team since the home design could be varied and the job role is not identical too.

Further to the point, carpentry works do not cost much to both management and the staff while maintaining a quality standard in which a balancing of preference-need will always be there by mutual expectation discussion. Although ready-made plastic-based furnitures are also affordable in the market in which wholesaler and retailer can offer to the consumer, woodworking and customization of other materials oriented furniture for the home office cannot be substituted with the details attended by the latter. Employee shall always discuss with their employer to check whether the company will bear the cost for medium-to-long-term working from home, temporary work-from-home (WFH) usually does not enjoy the privilege as it is more to personal desire.

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. The outside temperature will make a lot of materials, including raw items to production, semi-finished goods to ready-stocks that are about to sell (either temporary storing for transit or sitting there as reserved products). Examples are including meat, fruit, seafood, flower, vegetable and more.

Perishable goods are always having the strict need to prolong their lifespan through a proper environment that has a high level of cleanliness as well as temperature moderation. Especially food and beverage that must be kept below certain celsius to keep its freshness as well as not being damaged by bacteria and harmful elements in the air because the living environment shall be affected from a range of temperature. For instance, the bacteria's growth will be restricted at about 32 degrees of Fahrenheit or even lower, basically, all major viruses and bacteria are not able to be active in such condition. Further to the point, its relative humidity shall be controlled well since living organism relies basically on water, air, food and suitable temperature for healthy nurturing.

The store has many functions and can be used for different purposes, from industrial, commercial, retail to the house owner.

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. Another competitive and alternative for flooring that has almost the same criteria of epoxy flooring would be the polyurethane flooring. On a certain case, they both can perform the same or overlap each feature so they are compared herein generally only.

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.

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.

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.
