The current installation practices for PV systems on roofs create electrical, fire, structural, and weather-related hazards that do not comply to current codes, standards and guidance documents. Potential dangers include structural loading, wind loads, hail, snow, debris accumulation, seismic hazards, firefighting hazards, and electrical hazards. Despite the increased popularity of PV systems after the environmental movement, research shows that the costs of installing PV systems outweigh the benefits. Hazards of PV systems on roofs have caused several incidents in the United States; the most notable in Bakersfield, California, and Mount Holly, North Carolina. Designed for fire engineers and professionals, Best Practices for Commercial Roof-Mounted Photovoltaic System Installation offers recommendations to set up PV systems safely and sustainably.SpringerBriefs in Fire,2193-6595Buildings—Design and constructionBuildingConstructionEngineering, ArchitecturalMechanicsMechanics, AppliedQuality controlReliabilityIndustrial safetyBuilding Construction and Designhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23012Solid Mechanicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T15010Quality Control, Reliability, Safety and Riskhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T22032Buildings—Design and construction.Building.Construction.Engineering, Architectural.Mechanics.Mechanics, Applied.Quality control.Reliability.Industrial safety.Building Construction and Design.Solid Mechanics.Quality Control, Reliability, Safety and Risk.690.8370472Wills Rosalieauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1061378Milke James Aauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autRoyle Saraauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autSteranka Kristinauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910299227903321Best Practices for Commercial Roof-Mounted Photovoltaic System Installation2518642UNINA04457nam 22006015 450 991063770250332120230224131730.01-4842-8686-310.1007/978-1-4842-8686-9(MiAaPQ)EBC7165522(Au-PeEL)EBL7165522(CKB)25871353500041(OCoLC)1356522174(OCoLC-P)1356522174(DE-He213)978-1-4842-8686-9(CaSebORM)9781484286869(PPN)26821154X(EXLCZ)992587135350004120221229d2023 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe Psychology of Evolving Technology[electronic resource] How Social Media, Influencer Culture and New Technologies are Altering Society /by Rhoda Okunev1st ed. 2023.Berkeley, CA :Apress :Imprint: Apress,2023.1 online resource (126 pages)Print version: Okunev, Rhoda The Psychology of Evolving Technology Berkeley, CA : Apress L.

The possession of computers, smart-devices, along with social media, texting and video games, is now an intimate part of the structure of our culture. This book is a framework to start a conversation on how technology is changing our lifestyles and transforming our world. There is now an entire generation that has been using technology through the most delicate developmental time in their lives. This book presents how to look at the cognitive and psychosocial developmental stages and what are the age-appropriate milestones and factsheet of behaviors at different ages. It provides insight into the strength and vulnerable characteristics at each stage and the prevalence of some negative conditions in our society. You will gain a perspective of the encouraging and challenging aspects of computer learning, smart devices, and how to start and keep the conversation going from infancy to adulthood in order to keep and maintain your virtues and ways to circumvent unfavorable consequences. In short, The Psychology of Evolving Technology looks at how cutting-edge and revolutionary high technologies have disrupted our society through its many luxuries and conveniences and how it has altered the outlook of our values, privileges, and expectations.Social mediaInfluenceSocial media and societyInternet personalitiesDevelopmental psychologyTechnologyMoral and ethical aspectsTechnologySociological aspectsSocial mediaInfluence.Social media and society.Internet personalities.Developmental psychology.TechnologyMoral and ethical aspects.TechnologySociological aspects.155Okunev Rhoda1246265MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910637702503321The Psychology of Evolving Technology3002776UNINA
