i Preface The Code of Practice for Energy Efficiency of Lighting Installations (Lighting Code) developed by the Electrical & Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) aims to set out the minimum design requirements on energy efficiency of lighting installations. It forms a part of a set of comprehensive Building Energy Codes (BEC) that addresses energy efficiency requirements in building services i...

Museums have missions to increase accessibility and share cultural assets to the public. The National Palace Museum intends to be a pioneer of utilizing novel interpretative installations to reach more diverse and potential audiences, and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) technology has been selected as the new interpretative approach. The pilot project in partnership with the National Taiwan Un...

Work equipment and installations with a high risk for health and safety of employees should be paid a special attention. The German Product Safety Act, which is aimed to manufacturers or distributors in order to protect consumers, maintains a conclusive catalogue of these so-called "installations in need of monitoring" fixing the work equipment and installations for which such special inspectio...

Mobile devices and situated installations have differing inherent advantages and limitations; coupling – the physical and computational combination – of personal mobile devices with situated installations allows designers to overcome these disadvantages and create interactional synergy. This paper presents a demonstration of a small macro-environment: three conceptually-linked installations to ...

The proposed siting of new chemical Hazardous Installations, modifications to existing Hazardous Installations, and proposals for development within the vicinity of these installations, are assessed by the Hazardous Installations Directorate (HID) of the Health & Safety Executive. Numerical risk assessment methodology is utilised to enable advice to be given to Local Planning Authorities. The u...

This paper describes how principles which are emerging from social scientific studies of people’s interaction with mixed media artefacts in public places have been used to support the development of two installations, the second of which is a long term museum exhibit. Our principles highlight the design of ‘emergent collaborative value’, ‘layers of noticeability’ and ‘structures of motivation’ ...
