The City of Santa Maria, located between San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara in California, is experiencing rapid population growth, cultural transformation, and growth in household size. The growth rate of the city has been a consistent 20% for the past 20 years. Culturally, more than 70% of the almost 100,000 city residents predominantly identified as Hispanic or Latino in the 2010 census. The household size has consistently increased for the past 20 years; currently it is 3.52 people per household. An issue which is becoming a growing problem for the city is the prevalence of illegal housing in the form of garage conversions. Motivations for illegally converting are primarily centered on actual economic gain for the homeowner and affordable rent for the participant. Few cities allow for the construction of additional residential units on parcels which are zoned for single family, the majority prohibit additional units. The most prominent of these cities which allow for second units is Santa Cruz. The second unit program in the City of Santa Cruz allows for garage conversions and detached second units but on-site parking must be provided for the additional unit. Santa Cruz argues the second unit program provides affordable housing, prevents sprawl, and is a form of in-fill development. The Santa Cruz second unit program is utilized as the framework for developing a second unit program for the City of Santa Maria which allows for garage conversions to occur. City records from 2000-2010 indicate that more than 1% of the total housing units were found to have an illegal garage conversion. The actual rate of active garage conversion is likely to be higher, more than likely in the neighborhood of 3% to 5%.The proposed ordinance is influenced at the Federal and State level by respective decisions by the Supreme Court and California Court on definition of what constitutes a family. California‘s Second Unit Law and legislative amendments establishing ministerial approval for affordable housing provides for legal options to increase the present housing supply.

Detta examensarbete är gjort hos VVS-konsulterna Skellefteå AB. Det behandlar projektering av ett parkeringshus med hänsyn till värme och ventilation och en jämförelse av ventilationssystem på ett parkeringshus som är planerad att stå klar 2019. Syftet med arbetet är att undersöka hur man projekterar ett parkeringshus ventilation och om det går att spara energi och utgifter genom att använda sig av behovsstyrd ventilation istället för konstant ventilation. Eftersom det är dyrare att investera i behovsstyrd ventilation kommer det också undersöka återbetalningstiden för den investeringen. För att göra undersökningarna har programmet IDA ICE använts för att rita upp en modell av byggnaden och simulera dess energianvändning för att senare jämföra resultaten och se skillnaderna mellan de olika ventilationssystemen. Ett förslag har framtagits på hur ventilationen kan dras och hur fläktluftvärmare ska installeras och hur rören ska dras. Resultatet från simuleringarna gav den totala energiförbrukningen minskade med 705 000 kWh/ med behovsstyrd ventilation jämfört med konstant ventilation. Fläktens energianvändning minskade med 75% och uppvärmningsenergin minskade med 72%. Investeringen för behovsstyrd ventilation jämfört med konstantflödes ventilation är 600 000 kr dyrare och får utifrån beräkningarna i detta arbete en återbetalningstid på 1 år. Livslängden på ventilationssystemet antas vara 25–30 år. / This graduate work was conducted in cooperation with the VVS-Consultants Skellefteå AB. It deals with the design of a parking garage regarding heat and ventilation and a comparison of ventilation systems in a parking garage that is scheduled to be ready 2019. The purpose of the work is to investigate how to design a parking garage ventilation and if you can save energy and expenses by using demand-controlled ventilation instead of constant ventilation. As it is more expensive to invest in demand- controlled ventilation, it will also investigate the repayment period for that investment. To do the studies, the IDA ICE program has been used to draw a model of the building and simulate its energy use to compare the results later and see the differences between the different ventilation systems. A proposal has been made on how ventilation can be drawn and how the radiators are to be installed and how the pipes are to be drawn. The result of the simulations resulted in total energy consumption decreased by 705,000 kWh / with demand-controlled ventilation compared to constant ventilation. The fan's energy consumption decreased by 75% and the heating energy decreased by 72%. The investment for controlled ventilation compared to constant flow ventilation is 600,000 kr more and, based on the calculations in this work the repayment period is 1 year. The life expectancy of the ventilation system is assumed to be 25-30 years.

Master of Architecture / Department of Architecture / Gary J. Coates / Buildings account for a large part of total U.S. energy consumption and generate far more greenhouse gas emissions than any other sector of the economy. The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate how buildings can be designed in a way that helps to mitigate global environmental problems, while resolving local urban design, architecture and social issues. This purpose was achieved by designing a zero-energy garage apartment for a site located along an alley in Manhattan, Kansas. The methodology for the design was to: identify a client; define project goals and design criteria; determine solar and geothermal renewable energy system requirements; design the garage apartment by employing energy efficient strategies relating to bioregional design and passive solar design; identify eco-friendly materials obtainable within a 500-mile radius of the site; and identify energy-efficient construction methods. The energy performance of the garage apartment was constantly monitored using eQUEST and Energy-10 simulation softwares. Operational definitions: Garage apartment- a building behind the main building[superscript]1, which is part of the same plot as the main building. It is also called a 'backhouse', 'granny flat' or a 'rear house'. Zero-energy house- for this thesis, a grid connected self-standing zero-energy house, which results in zero utility bills throughout the year.

The subject of master thesis is new building of mixed-use building in the cadastral area Brno city part Černá Pole in a row of residential buildings. The building is designed with five storeys with one underground and 4 aboveground floors. The property is located in a sloping terrain. There are garages with a capacity of 18 parking spaces in underground floor and a technical room. On the first floor there are business premises and the background of the apartment building. From the second to fourth floor there are flats. The main entrance to the building is north-facing.

The purpose of this master’s thesis was to design and elaborate design documentation for the realization of the building of the hotel in the village of Dolní Lomná. The hotel is located on a sloping plot No. 1322/43, in the cadastre unit Dolní Lomná. The design and its implementation respect the local zoning plan. The building is five-storey, with a basement. It has four above-ground floors, the hotel lobby with a reception, service and sports equipment rental, a restaurant with a terrace and hotel rooms and one basement where underground garages are for the guests. The structure is designed as a frame with a load-bearing building envelope. The building is roofed with a warm flat roof, designed as a green extension.

The aim of my diploma thesis was a project of a new mixed-use building in the land register of Brno. The object is a 5 storey building that is with basement. In the basement is garage for 13 cars. The first floor will be located several shops. Between the second and the fourth floor will be dwelling units. It is covered by flat roof with Attica. I designed the project with emphasis on disposal orientation according to the cardinal points and constructed arrangements of the building. During the process I tried to use modern methods, common material and I tried to separate space for living and space for public.

The diploma thesis deals with a project of a new multifunctional building in Pelhřimov. The object is composed by four above-ground and one underground floor. Commercial premises are located on the first above-ground floor. These premises consist of a travel agency, bakery, bookshop and sports outfitters. Two individual administrative premises can be found on the second floor. Eight flats were designed on the third and the fourth above-ground floor. On each of these floors, there are four flats; two of them were designed as two-bedroom and two of them as three-bedroom flat. A common area and a row garage can be found on the underground floor. The construction system of the object is a combination of reinforced concrete frame and a masonry system. The object is roofed with a warm flat roof with a typical sequence of layers.
