FEGEITOK:
In Nigeria the government gives the impression that all they want is to take money from Nigerians.

The American example proves that Building Energy Efficiency Codes can keep money in the citizens pocket.

This is a direct quote from those screenshots above:

Since 1992, ENERGY STAR and its partners have helped American families and businesses save 5 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity, avoid more than $500 billion in energy costs, and achieve 4 billion metric tons of greenhouse gas reductions. Over the lifetime of the program, every dollar EPA has spent on ENERGY STAR resulted in nearly $350 in energy cost savings for American business and households. In 2020 alone, ENERGY STAR and its partners helped Americans save more than 520 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity and avoid $42 billion in energy costs.

So please take it seriously

In my next build, this will be considered from the building design stage

Sure i will, please kindly include me in your next build

FEGEITOK:
If you monitor how the NERC keeps increasing electricity tariff rates, and how we now have inverter ACs, inverter fridges, extremely low power lighting lamps that are as low as 5 to 7 watts but still bright, the increasing dependence on inverters and alternative power supply sources, then you will agree with me that energy efficiency is a thing that is being practiced haphazardly here.

If you also monitor how the economy is going down for so many people in Nigeria, then this is one way to make the little money the client has go further.

The issue is that if the building owners and building contractors don't jointly work on this, anything the building owners do afterwards will be afterthoughts and can never go as far as building the house from the ground up with this in mind.

By the way, I took time out to read up the Nigerian BEEC and even posted on it a while ago, there are several useful ideas that every building contractor ought to be familiar with and gradually introduce to their clients.

Maybe the problem is that the recommendations therein are just recommendations and not mandatory.

Overseas, it is not just a direction, it is often times mandatory.

In America, private homes and even commercial facitlites can even be energy star certified.

Truth be told the EPA in America has played an outsized role in making this happen. The Federal Ministry of Housing in Nigeria has done well to set up the BEEC but it should collaborate with the Federal Ministry of Environment to make it a thing.

Yes they should follow it up and ensure that before drawings are approved that it must be included and afterwards implemented. I must add, your comment wow very very enlightening....

blyted:
It's safer, if you are saying very few people that you know of is taking 'sustainability' into consideration.

If as an Architect (not a draughtsman) with the current global trends, you still create designs that impacts the nature negatively.......

that i ignore it doesn't mean it will affect nature negatively, most times it is done to reduce the energy consumption in the building, but which energy are we even reducing if the energy/power supply in Nigeria is epileptic and already reduced.

After transporting from Berger to ajah for the ingrate.
He said he is not buying becos the colour of the cylinder on nairaland is different from what I brought.
Without even removing the cylinder and checking it...
It was as if he had planned to waste my time.

Foolish boy .

Indeed i opened it myself. Rusty and even with a bad burner, Baba you wanted to play a fast one, someone who is supposed to catch a flight cannot afford tp back home. Even when i gave you a small token. You still spitting rubbish, ungrateful person

FEGEITOK:
I am also watching and I am yet to see any architect or builder on this platform reference the Nigerian BEEC or clearly state that the Nigerian BEEC influenced the design and build

Neither have I seen anyone say this or that was incorporated because of Energy Efficiency considerations

Very rare to see that in Nigeria, these are things very few people take into consideration. And i understand why

R.i.p
Meanwhile we design and build, check our portfolio in the link below

Chairman, let us understand. What did he bring to you boss. Was it not up to the kg or was it more than the Kg. Or is the colour different. What was different in the cylinder boss. Please make us understand cause me sef the confuse, I think say cylinder na one in the whole world

he brought something with rusty edges, the burner was just hanging loose and the support gone, i think the color is blue, faded blue as against what was advertised, even if i decided to take it what is the guarantee that it won't be leaking gas when filled,

GloriousGbola:
No ACs seen

That suspended light looks industrial. What you expect is fancy ceiling led lights.

Maybe also ceiling speakers and an amplifier somewhere. Also they usually come with 2 monitors not one

Behind camera view, there's a standing Ac, the display unit has an inbuilt speaker, the suspended light may look industrial but is ideal as such is usually employed in conference room settings. And the client choice influenced it.

blyted:
"A touch of green"

The word green came by painting or led lighting or energy efficiency .... Or the plant on the wall makes it green

Yes to all but without the energy efficiency part you stated

You mean the cylinder in the ads was different from what he brought to you?

Or he brought same cylinder but it wasn't up to your taste and expectation?

Whatever might be the case. I am not there, I don't know exactly what really transpired between both of you and i won't judge. But I feel for the seller because carrying a 6kg around isn't easy plus cost and stress of this lagos transportation. My very clean 3kg i sold earlier, i know how a little bit stressful it is to move it around.

Me i don't operate my business like that, i always make sure we meet halfway just incase shiiit happen so it will be easy for me to bounce back to my destination. For me to want to deliver item to your destination, we must have had a very solid arrangement and even upront payment sef.

But rest assured i am a man of my word. I will be giving you something you would fall in love with when you see it. That's why it's good to see enough and clear pictures of what you intend buying.

He brought something entirely different and even worse than what he displayed, my only problem with him is why he demanded i have to pay for his transportation back home fully, i even gave him something at that, dude went on to curse me on WhatsApp.

DenreleDave:
Some people sef, why wud u go with sumone dt is nt complete and still spent tfare?

The boldness to ask for tfare sef

My brother i even gave the guy 500 to subsidize his tp, this is someone that said even before we meet that his flight will take off by 9am. Cannot afford tp back home.

Hatesin:
Our problem in the building industry is "this is how it is done" syndrome. And because many architects don't like stretching their brains in thinking out new ideas, they'll prefer using a stereotyped pattern. That's why in almost every house plan, the v.t is almost at the same place. Before all these visitors' toilet madness started, houses were being built and people lived in them conveniently. But good as it is to have it in our modern homes, it should be strategically located to serve its purpose.

As an Architect, design to suit your client's life style and as a homeowner, insist on what suits you because the Architect is not the one to use the house.

You are right, for me i think the most suitable method is to provide a small lobby that leads to the toilet, incase of whatever smell, or odour, or even the need to prepare after coming out of the toilet. Imagine bumping into the living room directly from the toilet.

twinskenny:
So a story was told of a king who called his subjects to a feast.

The king promised to provide enough food to feed the entire village, however, he said he wouldn't provide them with any wine.

In order to strengthen their sense of community and foster togetherness, the king asked that the wine be provided by the villagers instead.

He put a very huge pot at the village square and asked that each household poured a keg of palmwine into the pot. If every household donated a keg, they should have enough wine to last them for the entire feast.

On that appointed Eke market day, the villagers started trooping to the village square to donate their quota.

Now, the king decided not to have this process supervised. He trusted his subjects to act accordingly.
You only needed to declare your attendance after you must have poured your keg into the pot.

While this was going on, one man, Mazi Okoro, thought to himself, "If no one is supervising the donation of the palmwine, why do I need to donate at all?"

He reckoned, "If everyone poured in a keg of palmwine and I poured in a keg of water into the pot, no one would be any wiser, and my keg of water would be but a little dilution to the wine and it wouldn't make any difference."

And so he did.
He poured a keg of water into the pot instead of a keg of palmwine.

The days passed, trickled down until the feast day finally arrived.
All was well at the feast until it was time to drink the wine.

Lo and behold, it was only water!

Because while Mazi Okoro thought his keg of water would go unnoticed since everyone else was pouring in palmwine, Mazi Okeke also thought the same.
And so did Mazi Okafor, and Mazi Okonkwo, and the entire village.

So in the end, they had to endure their pot of water throughout the entire feast.
Because who could they complain to? The king? He had nothing to do with it.
They themselves had brought this misfortune upon them.

As elections draw closer, do not be like these villagers and assume that others are going to vote your preferred candidate even if you don't vote.

Do not think "after all, we did million man marches all around the country and people came out in their thousands, so my one vote won't make any difference."

Your vote makes all the difference.
Please, go and collect your PVC!

Wise words oga boss

A gentle reminder, be mindful of this seller, he delivered something different than what was advertised, and beckoned on me to buy it, his only claim was that he spent a lot of money to bring it to our agreed destination and i should pay him back his tp, well i refused.......
