"AC Maintenance Tips for Homes and Businesses in Saudi Arabia’s Harsh Climate"

Air conditioning systems are vital for both homes and businesses in Saudi Arabia, where temperatures often soar to extreme levels. Ensuring that your AC unit functions at its best is essential not only for comfort but also for maintaining efficiency and reducing energy costs. Proper maintenance can prevent unexpected breakdowns during the hottest months, while also prolonging the lifespan of your system.

To maintain an efficient and reliable cooling system, many property owners opt for professional AC maintenance services to ensure their air conditioning units stay in top condition. Regular maintenance services can help identify potential issues before they escalate, avoiding costly repairs or the need for a full replacement.

1. Regular Filter Cleaning and Replacement

One of the simplest yet most effective maintenance tasks for any air conditioning system is regular filter cleaning or replacement. In Saudi Arabia’s dusty environment, filters can quickly become clogged with dust and debris, making the system work harder and reducing efficiency. Dirty filters restrict airflow, which not only increases energy usage but also decreases the unit's ability to cool properly. For both homes and businesses, it is recommended to clean or replace filters every one to three months, depending on the frequency of use.

2. Inspect and Clean Condenser Coils

The outdoor unit of your air conditioning system contains condenser coils that are responsible for releasing the heat absorbed from the indoor air. These coils are exposed to the elements, and in a harsh climate like Saudi Arabia, dust, dirt, and debris can easily accumulate. When the coils are dirty, the system's ability to dissipate heat is compromised, leading to reduced cooling performance and higher energy consumption. Regular cleaning of the condenser coils helps ensure optimal performance and efficiency.

3. Check Refrigerant Levels

For your AC system to cool effectively, it needs the correct amount of refrigerant. Low refrigerant levels can lead to inadequate cooling, causing the system to run longer and work harder. Over time, this can increase wear and tear on the unit and even lead to system failure. It’s important to have a professional check refrigerant levels during routine maintenance and top off as necessary to keep your system running smoothly.

4. Inspect Ductwork for Leaks

Leaky ductwork can significantly affect the efficiency of your air conditioning system, as cool air escapes before it reaches its intended destination. For businesses and larger properties, this can result in uneven cooling, higher energy bills, and an overworked AC unit. Regularly inspecting ductwork for leaks or gaps and sealing them as needed will help ensure that your air conditioning system is delivering cooled air efficiently.

5. Schedule Professional Maintenance

In Saudi Arabia’s extreme climate, scheduling professional AC maintenance at least twice a year is highly recommended. Professional technicians have the knowledge and tools to thoroughly inspect your system, clean essential components, and identify potential problems before they escalate. Businesses, in particular, can benefit from having a comprehensive maintenance plan to avoid costly downtime due to AC failure.

Whether you own a small home or manage a large commercial facility, regular AC rental service and maintenance are crucial for ensuring the longevity and efficiency of your cooling systems.

6. Optimize Thermostat Settings

Maintaining an optimal temperature setting on your thermostat can greatly impact energy usage and overall system performance. In Saudi Arabia, where temperatures can reach extreme highs, setting your thermostat just a few degrees higher can significantly reduce the strain on your AC unit. Additionally, programmable thermostats allow you to set different temperatures based on your schedule, which can help save energy when cooling is not needed.

7. Keep the Area Around the Outdoor Unit Clear

The outdoor unit of your air conditioner needs adequate airflow to function properly. Debris such as leaves, dirt, and plants can obstruct the airflow, causing the unit to work harder and reducing its efficiency. Regularly check and clear any debris from around the outdoor unit, and make sure that there is at least two feet of clearance on all sides to promote optimal airflow.

8. Ensure Proper Ventilation

Ventilation plays a crucial role in the effectiveness of your AC system, particularly in business settings where large numbers of people and equipment generate heat. Poor ventilation can increase humidity levels, making it harder for your air conditioner to cool the space. Make sure that vents and return air registers are not blocked by furniture or other obstructions, and consider using ceiling fans to help distribute cool air more evenly throughout the space.

Conclusion

Maintaining your air conditioning system is essential in Saudi Arabia’s harsh climate, where efficient cooling is a necessity rather than a luxury. By following these AC maintenance tips, you can ensure that your system operates efficiently, keeps energy costs under control, and provides reliable cooling when you need it most.

Investing in regular AC maintenance service is key to extending the life of your system and avoiding the discomfort and expense of unexpected breakdowns. Whether for a home or business, proper maintenance is a proactive step toward achieving consistent and cost-effective cooling year-round.

From @womble1

From @womble1 to @sailing-on-a-puddle

Prompt used: Kip Harris comes to dinner at the end of Flame Out

Completed by Womble1

Kip Harris had just finished tucking up his trusty little truck in the fire hall. It was the last one to park up, the rest of his team having made it back just before him. The air in the garage space was smokey, carrying that earthy bite distinctive of forest fires. But, better than lingering methane. Taking a last look to make sure that all the equipment was restocked and stashed just how he liked it ready for the next call, he picked up his hat and went to climb out of the truck.

Kip Harris was the kind of man who didn’t startle easily. It was essential in his line of work, and key to how he had managed to rack up so many years of experience without becoming a charred footnote on an incident report. However, the involuntary muscular spasm that made it appear that he jumped did tally suspiciously with the unexpected holocal appearing from his dashboard.

After a few totally normally paced heartbeats, Kip recognised the young man he had spoken to earlier when petitioning International Rescue for help. 

“Hi Mister Harris, I hear you’re joining us for dinner.”

“I guess that's so, young man.” he drawled, waiting to see where this was going.

“Well you might need a lift, we’re a little off the main highways,” there was a half hint of a smile under the assumed professionalism. Kip wasn’t sure what the joke was but he knew there was one. He gave the boy the benefit of the doubt and assumed he wasn’t about to become the joke. The other one…Virgil, he reminded himself, he prided himself on remembering names, it was a sign of respect, Virgil had seemed so earnest that Kip had taken the invitation as genuine. He had learnt over the years to roll with whatever life threw at him, and you never quite knew where an unexpected invitation might take you. 

The ghost of a smile had vanished as quick as it had arrived, and been promptly replaced with the same swift professionalism that Kip had noted in their first interaction. 

“We’ll send someone over to pick you up in about 2 hours if that’s alright Mister Harris.”

“Much obliged.” and he touched the brim of his hat briefly. 

Shadow touched down precisely 2 hours later, her motorbike section swapped for a module with a passenger seat. Kayo kept her steely poker face and politely ignored the ungainly noises the great Kip Harris made whilst trying to contort himself into the spare seat. She also keyed a quick message to John to ask him to run distraction at the other end so the poor man could climb out again without an audience. A job which John completed with his usual efficient economy of effort. Which in this case meant delegating to Gordon. 

Gordon achieved this by dressing himself up in ski gear which had last seen the light of day in Scotts early teens and jamming every possible zip fastening. Because as everyone knows, jammed zips can only be fixed by a grandmother's gentle persuasion. Ok, maybe not a widely known saying, but Gordon played it for all he was worth, monopolising his grandmother's attention like a pro. In fact, what started as a 2 minute ad-lib piece, was quickly extended to a 10 minute improv performance at Scotts hasty command. 

Scott and John, had been drawn with a sense of dread by the charred smell emanating from the kitchen. They had caught a glimpse of the culinary delights prepared by their loving grandmother, and the call to stall was sent out via morse code to Gordons watch. 

“What I don’t understand is why she cremated lasagne from scratch when we have some in the chiller already, the nice stuff.” John was staring at the far more inviting cheese topped tray where it sat, still blissfully charcoal free, in the refrigerator. There was a wistful glint in his eye for the meal that could have been.

Scott prodded at the carbon encased remains that were left after Grandma had dished up all the portions. She had joyfully called it “extra in case anyone wanted seconds” and put it back in the oven.

“We can’t make Mr Harris eat this, Virgil will never forgive us if his hero chokes to death on….on whatever went into this.” it had a certain sulphur tang.

“It’s not like we have a lot of choice. Kayo is already inbound and this dish will never warm through in time.” Big enough to feed a family with a heavy percentage of “growing boys”, the catering sized lasagne took up the entire shelf. 

Scott shut the oven door decisively, squared his shoulders and turned to John. “Let's work the problem then. Give me options Thunderbird Five.”

John sighed, there was no fighting it when Scott got like this. Yes, it was what made him an amazing leader out in the field, but in the domestic setting it could get a bit grating, especially for a man who had already spent far too many hours that day “working the problem” and frankly all he wanted was comfort food and maybe a hot bath. 

“Antacids and a lot of wine?” John shrugged feebly. 

“No, I think you were on to something with the chilled lasagne,” Scott started pacing around the kitchen island, always working better when he was on the move. 

“Only raw lasagne isn’t going to pose any less of a risk than the crispy one. I said, it’s too big to cook in time.”

“Ok, but what if it wasn’t.” Scott shot back, still not slowing his pacing.

John dragged a hand down his face, “But it is.” he pointed out. 

“Yes, but it doesn’t need to be.” Scott replied, pleased with himself.

John frowned and considered pre-drinks. “Come again?”

“We don’t need to heat all of it, if we can just get enough so that we don’t kill our guest, then everyone else can make do with the….with the original?”

John screwed his face up at the thought of it. 

“Oh, come on John, we’ve managed worse. Push it around your plate a bit and raid the snack stash later.” 

John shrugged and conceded with a limp nod. Scott had a point, but that didn’t mean John needed to be happy about it. “Fine, we can probably make that work, but you’re the one swapping it out.”

“Fine,” the risk taker in Scott took that condition in his stride, knowing that without John on his side the plan would be 100 times harder. “How much do you think we can heat up in…” Scott glanced at his watch, “.. four minutes.”

“One portion,” John answered, quick as a flash, “and it's going in the microwave.” 

“Boys! Make yourselves presentable, and don’t you go messing with my place settings. I’ll know if you’ve stolen any garlic bread! I’m going to greet our guest!” Grandma hollered down the stairs before diverting to the elevators to head off their visitor. Gordon followed close behind, shedding pieces of skiwear as he jumped through the closing doors. 

Thankfully, Gordons’ distraction had done the trick and by the time Sally made it down Kit had been able to extract himself from Shadows passenger seat with a little dignity still intact, and Kayo was leading him across the hangar floor towards the lifts. 

“Hi again! Glad you could join us” Gordon stepped around his grandmother waving. 

“Thank you for the invitation,” he took Gordons offered hand and gave it a hearty shake. “And who would this be?” Kip asked, turning.

“Oh that's Grandma” Gordon provided.

Kip held out his hand in greeting. “Well I can’t rightly be callin’ you Grandma now can I? It’s a pleasure to meet you…?”

“Sally,” she beamed back, as he doffed his hat with his free hand, not yet releasing hers. “You can call me Sally.” she giggled. “The boys said you knew Jeff?”

“We met just the once, at a training facility for advanced fire safety training. I used to help run a few sessions. Supplemented the income and kept the skills up to date. You never learn more than when you're helping others learn.” he said solemnly. “Jeff Tracy certainly had some original ideas for tackling the practice simulations, thinkin’ outside the box doesn’t usually involve setting light to the box. But pushing boundaries is how you grow, and eyebrows grow back on their own eventually.” he chuckled. 

Gordon was all ready to dive in and ask some more questions around that one, and possibly provide a few eyebrow singing anecdotes of his one, but Grandma physically steered her guest towards the lift up to the residential levels. 

Back in the kitchen it was all go! Microwave technology was deployed to a neatly extracted portion of shop bought lasagne.John managed not to cry as he put the rest of the dish back in the refrigerator. Scott had been sent up to the dining room to complete the swap out as soon as the pasta was steaming hot. 

Scott bobbed on the balls of his feet, restless as he waited in the little used room. It was a space that had been part of the architects’ “vision” and fitted with the billionaire private island brief, but in reality it didn’t really fit the families needs. They weren’t hosting the kind of swanky dinner parties that the architect envisioned. The long glass topped table that sat 12, with chandeliers running its whole length and high backed chairs were meant to add contrast to the natural stone wall running one side of the room, and the expansive glass windows running the other. Scott had always wondered why it had survived beyond the drawing board stage at all, but it did offer the foundations for Virgil's studio space on the floor above, and Scott could see why their father had been keen to keep that design choice. Life on the island revolved much more around the kitchen table, just as it had for generations, they were “new money” after all. 

Scott drummed his fingers on the table, but stopped when he realised that he was leaving fingerprints on the glossy surface. He looked up and down the table again, their grandmother had already laid out the portions of lasagne (?) in each place, they wouldn't even be able to get away with just taking a smaller piece. 

He eyed up the place settings and tried to work out where Mr Harris might be expected to sit. They didn’t have their own preferred seats in here like they did at the kitchen table, so there was much more guesswork involved. She would probably insist he sit facing the view, because it was the best part of the room. Virgil was likely to claim a seat opposite. Brains usually preferred end seats, but might be drawn nearer if the conversation went to technical improvements. Kayo always took a corner, clear views and clear exits. Alan would probably be at Gordons side, and Gordon always made sure to pick somewhere with enough space for two because he knew that Alan got a little nervous when there were new people around, even if you wouldn't be able to tell by looking at him now he was older. Scott usually ended up wherever was left, much like John, but somehow the others usually orchestrated things so that Scott was near the exit in case he got called away, and a quiet corner for John in case he was at his limit for people for the day. 

That left one strong contender for their guests’ seat. Decided, Scott saw the light on the dumbwaiter turn green. Another remnant from the life the architect thought they would be living, but it did save lugging dishes across the villa and made the clear up less arduous. Reaching in, Scott nearly burnt his fingers on the hot plate, hissing, he quickly switched out the offending plate, replaced it with the far more appetising alternative and was just working out what to do with the excess burnt offering when John's hologram popped up from the table unit. 

“Quick, get out of there now! They’re coming, she can’t find you in there Scott, she’ll assume you’ve been at the bread.”

Adrenaline coursed through Scotts veins, he absolutely could not get caught, not after the last time, he’d only just regained garlic bread privileges. He strode towards the door.

“Too late, she's on the stairs, hide!” John urgently whispered, before blinking out of existence. 

“Hide? Where!?” all Scott could see was windows and glass! The sideboard was full of charger plates and serving dishes that saw as little use as the room, no chance of hiding in there. Then he saw it, the dumbwaiter. It would be a squeeze, but Scott knew he could manage it. For once grateful that the architect had thought big when it came to entertaining. Although big was relative, flinging the burnt food in the sideboard, a problem for later, Scott  climbed onto the top of the counter and concertina’d himself into the narrow lift. Sliding the door closed with his fingertips, he jabbed at his comms watch “call the lift! Call lift!” he hissed when John appeared. A mechanical clunk confirmed that his orders had been actioned and Scott would have let out a sigh of relief if there had been enough space left, but with his knees pushing firming into his chest Scott made do with briefly resting his forehead against his leg. 

Alan looked like his jaw might drop off in surprise when he was instructed to open up the kitchen  hatch, only to find Scott curled up in the small space within. Alan remained standing there, lost for words as Scott extricated himself out with no little difficulty. He was nearly set for a collision course with the hard kitchen floor, when Kayo materialised at his side and hoisted his torso up while he got his feet under him. Once again Kayo was required to politely ignore old man noises as, for the second time that day, she prayed that the popping joint sounds didn't mean something had dislocated.

Grabbing Alan by the scruff of his shirt, and Scott by an elbow, she steered them in the direction of the dining room without a word. John tried to distance himself from the whole thing by keeping out of her eye line, even though he knew that was a futile hope. 

As they walked into the room Grandma was steering Mr Harris to his seat… the wrong seat. Scott hadn’t taken into consideration the angle of the sun at this point of the day, and the place Scott had earmarked was no longer the prime position at the table. John was being directed to the table setting where the one and only edible portion of lasagna was steaming gently. 

Alan walked past as Scott calculated the new state of play, making his way to the seat Scott had predicted for him. Kayo also claimed her seat according to Scotts’ plan. At least some things didn't change. Gordon was just walking past the end of the table having just set the water jug back on the sideboard, seemingly going back to take his seat next to Alan. Another peg in the right hole, but how to get all the other pieces to align? Scott sized up his options and took action.  It was going to take a Tracy Fix. He stuck his foot out, silently promising to apologise to Gordon later, and his brother tripped and went flying across the thankfully plush carpet. It had always seemed an odd choice for a dining room, but Scott didn’t question it now. Gordon rolled into a well practiced breakfall mostly by muscle memory, Scott knew he would be fine. While everyone was distracted Scott gestured to John with a combination of desperate hand movements and cobbled together ASL, he made it very clear that the lasagne needed to be relinquished and swapped with Kips this instant, and no puppy dog eyes or pouty faces were going to change that. 

The disappointment was clear in his face, but John quickly complied, and relocated the plates with no verbal complaint. 

It was the work of a split second, and Scott was able to help Gordon back to his feet before anyone could notice. 

Scott took the last remaining seat, the satisfied feeling of a successfully completed mission was quickly overtaken with revulsion when he looked down at the quickly congealing charred lump that was sat where his dinner ought to be. Oh well, he had overcome worse, he grabbed a fork with the same forced calmness of someone facing a root canal. 

The meal progressed, with carbonised lumps of pasta being chased around plates and hidden under salad leaves. Grandma barely touched hers, mostly because she was far too distracted by her dining companion. Mr Harris seemed quite willing to regale his audience with anecdotes from interesting experiences throughout his professional career. An observer would have been hard pressed to decide who was hanging off his every word more - Grandma or Virgil.

The next crisis forced itself to the forefront of everyone's attention with the high pitched beeping of the kitchen fire alarm. It was all systems go, and everyone raced down the stairs. But the drama was short lived,as they were greeted by the sigh of Max deploying a fire extinguisher directly into the warming oven where the crumble that Grandma had left crisping had caught fire. 

It was declared inedible by all including Grandma. Although Kips revelation that he had lost a significant proportion of his sense of smell and taste after a couple of interesting chemical fires early in his career forced Scott to have to fake a coughing fit in order to cover John's plaintive whine. Kip would have happily stayed discussing fire extinguisher suppression foam with Virgil and Brains had Grandma not suggested a sunset stroll on the beach.

Once the couple left, the stampede to the larder was akin to a full body contact sport. So much so that nobody noticed Max gliding off in the opposite direction looking as suspicious as it is possible for a quadrupedal robot to look. It was, however, noted that some of the snacks stash seemed to have already been taxed, but with a constantly active island population it was impossible to confidently attribute blame. Brains was able to enjoy a spot of supper a safe distance from the howling cacophony coming from the pantry.

Bags of chips were launched through the air, snatched mid flight by other eager hands. Packets of cookies spun over heads, sometimes bouncing off a shoulder only to be scrabbled at and claimed before it had any chance of hitting the floor.

Gordon, who had been complaining of a sore knee and pointedly looking at Scott for most of the meal, was now bodily hoisting Alan out of reach of a tray of jealously guarded and specially imported Reeses cups. These were quickly nabbed by a pasty arm with freakishly long reach, so the point was quickly moot.  

Kayo ducked under one arm, jabbed a sensitive pressure point to her left and poked at ribs to her right with pinpoint accuracy. Through this method she manoeuvred through the brawling, scooped her preferred snacks up into one arm and exited the fray as quick as she had arrived. A collective groan was heard when the remaining combatants realised she had taken the last bag of Doritos , but nobody felt like challenging her for them as she sat, calm as a cucumber, eating her haul at the kitchen table, watching events unfold, a dispassionate 3rd party. 

Alan was lifted by the scruff of his shirt by Virgil after he threatened to bite Gordon. He was forcibly parked at the table next to Kayo with a bowl of carrot batons from the refrigerator. 

It was at this point that John remembered the tray of lasagne, with its single slice already removed. Only seconds passed before the others realised what John was up to and in no time at all a lasagne heating production line was in place. Dolloped portions of pasta and sauce made their way in and out of the microwave with well practiced efficiency. Teamwork at it’s best. 

By the time Grandma was leading her guest back towards the villa in the hope of a willing taxi driver, the dishes had been stacked in the dishwasher and all evidence of the meal had been eradicated, baring the contented smiles on faces. 

Unfortunately none of them were quick enough to stop their grandmother from pressing a box of leftovers on her poor unsuspecting guest. John's shrug signaled that by this point it was felt that Mr Harris could fend for himself, they had tried their best. A sentiment that all others present were quite willing to sign up to.

mimi if you don’t mind me asking a job related question, may i? first of all i’m sorry your department chief if being such a dunce. if you’ve already planned for the time off, then enjoy it! life is so unpredictable, control what you can to do what makes you happy!

second, i don’t know if you’ve mentioned it before but what’s your speciality and how has your residency been? i’m someone who’s starting the path to medicine myself and sometimes i feel like it’s too late, i’m already in my mid twenties and my friends that i know that have gone to med school are already on their third or final years. i’d be 30-31 before i even became a resident and 35+ before i became an attending and sometimes it feels like that’s a little late, do you think it’s still worth it? i know medicine is time consuming but it really is the only thing that interests me.

dlfjmalsdfj i'm trying to be part of two departments so it's been like a super complicated road cuz i'm not only trying to have a dual appointment (because i'm going to be double boarded) but a lot of admin stuff changed so it's really been such a thing

but anyway! you didn't ask for all that

here's the important stuff:

for context, i went to a med school that was honestly quite highly ranked without doxxing myself and a good portion of the incoming class my year was nontrad- as in they were not straight out of college, and many had other careers first

the oldest guy i think was in his 30s but a good portion of those people were in their late 20s, including one guy who started med school at 29 and went into cardiothoracic surgery for residency so he'll truly be in training forever but like honestly you start to practice even when you're in residency and it's lifelong learning

you also have to account for the fact that mdphds are also like 4 years older than everyone else!!!

it's not uncommon at ALL for residents to be in their early 30s when starting, in fact that's more typical lol. yes i graduated residency at age 30 but i'm actually the youngest of my graduating class and definitely in the younger quartile nationwide for this specialty, most of the 3rd years who were traditional med students are my age rn

residency was honestly very good for me but i matched well in a chiller specialty. radiology is not physically taxing, it's more intellectually taxing than anything to make up for the less long hours, but you do have to be relatively good at studying even more so than the average medical student and efficiently so. you also basically spend a shit ton of time being independent in a way you don't with other clinical specialties (like i spend a lot of time on equal footing with attendings in other specialties, even as an r2 on call) but at the same time you constantly feel stupid because the attendings will simply always be better than you, and when you're a junior attending, the senior attendings will be better than you.

i liked radiology cuz i'm extremely curious and i like to know everything. but i sacrificed closer relationships with patients for it. i still caught up with it because of one of my subspecialties and that can be discussed more privately, but it does feel different from traditional med school rotations.

i think if you love medicine, it doesn't matter how old you are. you also really are not older in the grand scheme of things at all, like truly this is average what you've told me and like a lot of people will literally be doctors in their home country and will come and retrain in the us (my godmom did this, a fellow in my prior fellowship that's there now was an entire cardiologist and is now retraining in radiology) like it's fine

literally in your 30s you are simply starting to live no matter what people online will say, you still have SO much life to live and don't have to settle for getting in one groove for the next 50 years or so of your life. some of that could be television, some of that could be growing up in a small town, some of that could be whatever community you may have come from but there is SO much that's just beginning. so if it's medicine you want to do, do that. if it's literally anything else, please do that. you have PLENTY of time.

Eco-Friendly PVC Curtains: Reducing Your Carbon Footprint

In today’s world, businesses are increasingly looking for ways to reduce their environmental impact and operate more sustainably. One often overlooked yet effective solution is the use of eco-friendly PVC curtains. Modern PVC curtains, especially those made from recyclable materials, can play a crucial role in reducing waste and lowering the carbon footprint of businesses. From cold storage facilities to industrial workshops, these versatile curtains are helping businesses maintain energy efficiency and reduce their environmental impact without compromising on quality or functionality.

The Role of PVC Curtains in Environmental Sustainability

PVC curtains are traditionally made from Polyvinyl Chloride, a durable plastic material known for its flexibility, resilience, and long lifespan. However, concerns about the environmental impact of plastic have led manufacturers to explore more sustainable options.

Modern eco-friendly PVC curtains are now being produced from recyclable materials. By using recycled PVC, manufacturers can reduce the demand for new raw materials and lower the amount of waste that ends up in landfills. This approach not only helps in minimising the environmental impact of the production process but also provides businesses with a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic products.

Recyclable Materials: A Step Towards a Greener Future

Eco-friendly PVC curtains are designed with recyclability in mind. At the end of their life cycle, these curtains can be recycled and repurposed into new products, helping to create a circular economy where materials are reused rather than discarded. This helps businesses minimise their waste output and contributes to global efforts to reduce plastic pollution.

In addition, the production of recyclable PVC curtains typically uses less energy compared to manufacturing new PVC from raw materials, which helps to lower greenhouse gas emissions. By opting for these eco-friendly alternatives, businesses can significantly reduce their carbon footprint while still benefiting from the durability and functionality that PVC curtains offer.

Energy Efficiency and Carbon Reduction

One of the most significant ways that PVC curtains help businesses reduce their environmental impact is through energy efficiency. In cold storage units, for example, these curtains prevent the exchange of warm and cold air, reducing the need for constant refrigeration and helping to lower energy consumption. This energy-saving benefit translates to lower greenhouse gas emissions, as less energy is needed to keep facilities at the desired temperature.

Similarly, in manufacturing plants, warehouses, and other industrial settings, PVC curtains can help to maintain specific environmental conditions without requiring heavy-duty air conditioning or heating systems. By creating barriers that regulate temperature, they reduce the workload on HVAC systems, further contributing to energy efficiency and lower carbon emissions.

DP2 - Wandering Earth

Week 17:

This week, I developed a facade system that can be adapted to different spaces. The different degrees of curling of the panels respond to different directions of wind, rain and sun, resulting in the change in the interior ventilation, moisture content and light levels. I started working on the interior details of the laboratory including computer and seating units, structures supporting the existing facade that gets studies on, sprinkler and hail machine systems; and considered the primary and secondary structures supporting various components.

I need to keep working on the integrated design modules for the testing chamber, workshop space and garden for next week, and below are the details for different systems:

Roof: shape of the roof (e.g. jagged) and direction of its openings to allow light coming into the space. Rain water collecting systems with piping for flushing toilets

Floor: voids in the tiles for growing different species of plants; and delivering water collected by the facade system to the floor to nurture them. Angles of the the flooring systems and the different tiles on top to have different textures, and also how water is drained in the lab.

Facade: different scales, density and curvature of the panels adapted to different spaces considering different window openings. How it can affect the moisture content, heating and lighting levels inside. Double layered facade to have a void space for people to walk in, such as mediation room.

Lighting: having a combination of Industrial lights and spot lights in the lab, and task lights in the control room to make sure the latter space is darker for visibility

Heating and ventilation active systems: comparison of direct expansion system vs chiller, MVHR system vs air handling unit, considering air source heat pump and underfloor air con. Considering the position of the plant room.

I also need to simplify the plan by: having less stairs and more ramps, terraforming, organisation and shape of spaces to be clearer and more functionally efficient, using height labels for clearer communication.

Performative model: one 1:1 facade panel with functional solar and rain fuel technology. Considering bimetallic technology to make its curvature controllable by computer?

Which canon trolls- Hiveswap and Homestuck- do you think your fantrolls would get along the most with?

Ooohh canon trolls 👀

Ofi would like hanging out with the nicer trolls I feel, she's especially kind to the younger ones as well. On the flipside, she has notoriety for hanging out with... odd ones as well. Out of curiosity I want to see how Ofi's nosiness will work on Marsti lmao 😂

Tbh I think generally she will get along with most of the trolls, but she would easily get along with openly caring people like Feferi, Karkat (with a little bit of coaxing), MSPAR, Skylla, or Bronya. Definitely will vent about Zebruh with Chixie. She needs to be careful around Elwurd though!

--

Das just... wouldn't even try to get along with anyone. He's just there to work, and won't even be interested to interact with anyone unless he really needs to or they seem interesting to him.

He will definitely curious about MSPAR's "chaotic vibe" and Boldir's sneakiness. He would find Karkat's rambling funny as well with how much the guy will spiral down. He's already actively rooting for Ofi & Zebruh's pitch (for entertainment), but personally he doesn't like to hang around Zebruh by himself. It's more of how other people would tolerate him most of the time, I think.

Weirdly enough I can see him bro-ing with Sollux, even if Sollux most likely couldn't stand his ass so it would be the usual Wanlyn one-sided bro-ing lmao. He'd like how practical and blunt he is. Would be initially interested in Gamzee as well (at least until he became sober). Would grab popcorn and watch Eridan's shenanigans and noting how lousy he is with his quadmates (like a kettle calling pot black).

--

Ven would approach people with her managerial mindset. She's definitely the type who will like more competent trolls and have appreciations for specialists.

She'll appreciate Stelsa's punctuality and Tyzias' diligence as fellow teals, but also Tagora's shrewdness with clauses, Remele's quick thinking & adaptability, even Galekh's & Nihkee's passion for their respective fields. She also understand the importance of connection, and I think people would be surprise at how many acquaintances she actually has if they just see how aloof she is at work. Definitely will get along with the chiller, older trolls (as she is older herself and only sweep away to get shipped off planet).

If we're talking about the main Homestuck troll, she'll be chilling with Kanaya and very tempted to recruit Sollux as the IT guy lmao. She'll be interested in Terezi (fellow mind players eyyy), trying to figure out how she works. She would appreciate Equius' tech savviness too (I believe she could work around his weirder sides).

--

Zaojun just want to cook, man. Let the man cook lmao.

Jokes aside, he is known to be amiable both with his customers and employees. As long as they can pay for the food & enjoy them, no matter what blood color they are, it makes him happy.

Will gladly serve different kind of oblong meat products variations for Diemen (he would consider it a challenge) and give extra portions to the younger trolls or Chixie (because she's so smol) to encourage their growth to be a strong adult trolls.

I hc sometimes Marsti come over to deep clean the establishment regularly too, because the payment is good and restaurant will always need cleaning. He will give her free meals as a bonus as well!

Might will bond nicely with Nihkee as well with how passionate they are on their own crafts. Just blueblood thing, ykno. He can help her figuring out the best diet for her workout routine and she appreciates how much hard work a chef is doing on daily, helping him with his own workout routine in return to maximize his strength and efficiency in the kitchen. I love these supportive ripped buddies.

--

Rozaya... well. I hc her getting along really well with Skylla. I will elaborate about it one day 👀

As a cloistered head jade with a penchant for sneaking out, she has this knowing understanding toward Bronya as well, though she typically avoid any jades in the wild. I can see her tolerating Lanque, because they kinda have the same motivation but different approach.

Her party mode is very approachable in a non-commital way. She would typically get along well with fellow party goers like Diemen, Skylla, and hotdog troll. Would have some chats with Elwurd but knows better not to elaborate further. Heck, she will even chat with Chahut or Ardata, just a quick hi or cocktail talk. She never stayed too long for people to get to know her better though... because the less people remembers her out there, the better it is for her safety.

For the main Homestuck trolls, she could bond with Kanaya and probably a bit jealous of her circumstances to be able to live in the open. She's confident enough that Eridan wouldn't be able to cull her lusus (gharial lusus is deep within the cavern) and will hangout with Feferi on the shore. Probably will listen to Nepeta's quadrant ramblings too and giving her thought on the ships here and there just for fun lmao. And IF Aradia is still alive, I can see her fascinated with her interest in death and doom (also, fellow time players!)
