We are good in what we do

BrickDevo:
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.

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.

By the way I just ran a search and found zero reference to the Nigeria Building Energy Efficiency Code on this forum as a whole and the property subsection in particular

This was my initial post on the Nigerian BEEC

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....

bobkezel:

Yes some artisans are witches, they can waste materials for no reason. Some can waste it so they will be paid for, as if they used the materials.

You are absolutely spot on. Same also happens when you pay "per bag of cement" for casting concrete. These ogoaja boys with deliberately reduce the quantity of sand and chippings, so they end up using more cement to cast same volume of concrete, hence they get paid more.

Paying for the Area covered sort of eliminates that temptation for Artisans to waste materials without cause.

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

Chief, all those things na theory. We are talking about practical. Toilet is toilet no matter what. I have seen people pee on top of the toilet seat and even on the floor. Some don't even know how to flush

I have a visitor's toilet in my apartment and it has been working well.
I can't deny the fact that some people will don't know how to use the toilet.but still no matter what, when the right things are done. You will be fine.

So it appears that people have a new scam where they claim a transaction was declined and get their money back. I know a petrol station dealer who was complaining bitterly about this. So now this is the outcome. It will be much harder for honest people in sorting out failed transactions.

Nigerians have done it again

This is sole function of 3D secure authentication. But banks are lazy to do their jobs. On the other hand...I read somewhere that banks are struggling to hire IT staff members because of japa abroad..wait untill it happens to someone prominent...something will be done.

"So many of our very experienced talents, especially in the area of software engineering are either leaving the industry or leaving the country,” Abubakar Suleiman, chief executive officer of Sterling Bank Plc, was quoted as saying at the end of a meeting of bank CEOs.

as a country,we produce little or nothing but love waste way too much. A storey building is between 23-25ft excluding parapet but you will want to go all the way to 38ft. What is the need if not to waste the resources and put pressure on the available resources.

Anyways, it's all profits for the welder if you go all in.

Attached is the ideal height of tank stand in comparison to any building. If you observe, the bottom of the tank stand is higher than the walls and parapet which are the highest point of the house. The shower heads which are the highest point user of the water is lower than the bottom of the tank stand still. You will have all the pressure you need. Everything else is just a waste.

These things are pure physics. It's just that we think we can get more by doing more but it doesn't work like that

SOMETIMES, you dont blame people.
my water tank is on my roof which is about the same hieght as the pictures you posted, yet the shower water pressure is low, now it could be a plumbing error or it could be hieght related, but this is common problem for roof mounted tank houses

Five important reason why paint is very important in your structure.

1.Protection: Painting the exterior of a house can protect it from the elements, such as rain, sun, and wind. This can prolong the life of the building and reduce the need for costly repairs.

2. Curb appeal: A fresh coat of paint can greatly enhance the appearance of a house, making it look more attractive and increasing its curb appeal.

3.Increase property value: A well-maintained and painted house can increase its value and make it more marketable if you decide to sell it.

4.Personalization: Painting the house allows you to customize the look and feel of your home, making it more reflective of your personal style and taste.

5.Preventing rot and pests: paint can help to prevent rot, mold, and pests from damaging the house, thus keeping it looking good and maintaining its integrity.

check your plumbing. The tank I posted is about 3ft taller than the house

but it is not like a rise in dollar or anything these guys because they manage to form one little band of union and create a WhatsApp group where they speak their local dialect just wake up in morning and decide to inflict pains on their fellow Nigerians but we will suffer it together. That's my take..

Always happy to save my customers 10% of materials cost....

So you like as the visitors toilet dey direct inside parlour? I no like toilet inside parlour sha.

I think its base on preference sha

I rather have my visitor tiolet inside d sitting
Not basically for visitor
You can be in ur living room and you want to urinate...to me it dosnt mak sense going to ur room or going outside

And for d foul smell I don't biliv in dat when it's nt public tiolet dats why I have a window cls to mine at the entrance

[quote author=Hatesin post=120127354][/quote]

in the case of having an outdoor event, accessing the toilet by many persons wouldn't be a problem

For the above reason...then they have to use the 1 for the shops which is outside the compound


So it's all base on how the owner wants it sha just like you said sir

Your own design no too bad like that. At least your toilet no too dey inside parlour gbam gbam gbam. Your toilet dey one corner and the door no open direct into the parlour. One kind small pretend corridor area separate the toilet from the parlour into which the door opens.

This could be acceptable to many people.

As for me, I will introduce an entry lounge and put the toilet in the lounge.

I rather have my vt beside the dining just in between the lobby to the rooms. It gives the visitor a sense of belonging and you are leaving a great impression. The VT at the living room is a still okay as long as there's a lobby to close of any four odour but a vt outside is kind of insulting in my opinion. It's like telling a visitor to take your his or her shit outside. If you didn't want him or her in the first place why the invite?

I agree with you. Locating the toilet as far as possible from the liveable areas and even outrightly outside is something I don't get.

You've said it all. Ushering me as a visitor outside to relief myself is a message that you don't trust me in whatever form beyond your living room. This is sad. Don't let me into your home if you don't trust me.

Beside the dinning room really!?Last thing I need is a visitor that has a sense of belonging in my house. It's like building my house and choosing layout and design for the convenience of others ahead of mine.
I live for the exact opposite.
VT outside the house is not cool but if that's what the owner wants so be it, I'd gladly go outside and take my crap in peace

exactly. And again as oga said up comment in the middle of the night when a visitor wants to take a dump how do you now send him outside into the cold to use his toilet over 20fets away? Doesn't seem nice at all.
