Green building is a very hot topic nowadays. Lot of things have been written on it. But rarely have I seen anyone talking about mistakes that people make while developing green building. This article is dedicated to all these mistakes that you should avoid while developing green building. So let us not waste much of our time and start off with the mistakes that should be avoided while developing a green building:

Rent indispensable apparatuses much before than you need them: This is a very big mistake and makes you pay more than you actually need to pay for developing green building. For example; if you rent tables for six months before actually start of the construction you are going to pay for your mistake. The important thing is to understand that you do not need certain things before the construction of the building has been initiated. Once you have understood this thing it will become easier for you to avoid this mistake.

Starting the work all by yourself: This is painful but true that you will be paying for your mistake if you decide to do the entire thing by yourself. Hire an expert so that they have an idea of what you are trying to do so that they can give you a piece of advice before embarking on the work. Work will be done but it is better to take help of an expert than do it yourself because it can save you loads of money.

Spending less time on design: This is a crime because you are trying to develop a green building and without effective planning everything can go haywire. Acting street smart will not be useful. The important thing here is to spend quality time thinking about the design layout of the green building so that when the actual construction process starts there is no glitch in it. Normally people make mistakes while planning for green building. They do not spend so much of their time on design planning and start off with the construction then they are left with no option but to go with the planned scope of work even if it is not in line with their objective of green building.

It is not important to build a perfect house, the prima-facie thing is that the planned green building should be environment friendly and save lots of energy.

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is an excellent way of augmenting cooling operations. With the help of CFD, it is possible to evaluate the data center features that will affect cooling operations and the associated energy costs. As air within a building or residence can affect temperature and pressure, any change in air flow can have significant impact. For example; Walls, ceilings, server racks, floors etc. can have an immediate effect on air flow and cause problems in cooling the building. Any hot spots in the building can affect the potential cooling performance of the area.

CFD has been very successful in new buildings and configurations of existing ones. With the help of CFD Analysis it is possible to classify the areas where the cooling is not happening. 3D models in CFD can help managers to understand where the cold air is moving in the building. They can even see too much or too little cold air. Similar to hot air, cold air can also have significant effect on cooling since it can waste energy and money if it happens in excess to what is required.

Buildings can have the best possible cooling performance by using CFD. Even with the changes in the layout the cooling in the building can be maintained which is a great thing. When you associate with a CFD expert it helps in keeping a check on the energy consumption. As more energy is consumed, a greater heat is generated and should be removed from the facility. This is best done by experts in CFD.

When you associate with a CFD expert chances are that you will get full value and can improve cooling performance of your building tremendously. They can even make intelligent decisions based on experience to optimize floor space. So when the cooling is maximized you are benefited by greater efficacies and lower energy costs.

Transcribing audio or video into text has been in this industry since a very long time. We all know that transcripts are the results of the media being converted into digital written text. Now every industry has its own group of transcriptionists it actually serves or comes from. For example; Courts and lawyers come under legal transcription, medical and doctor dictations come under medical transcription and for everything else there is general transcription.

Now general transcription can range from business conference calls to marketing research focus group discussions, focus group discussions, and voice mails.

For audio transcription, a transcriptionist needs to have the following desirable qualities:

Adept listening skills:  In the transcription industry, the better listener you are the better your pay. Voice recordings can be quite tricky hence; it is very important to understand the accent of the speaker and the type of recordings you are handling. Because you are constantly listening to the audio it is better to have practice of listening to various forms of audio files so that it becomes easier for the transcriptionist to type the content on the go.

Internet savvy: This is one of the most important qualities required in a transcriptionist. There will be times when you may get struck with a particular keyword or a sentence due to the accent or the difficulty in understanding the subject matter. In such situations having adequate knowledge of internet helps as the transcriptionist can take the help of Google or Yahoo for general search and find words which are closest to the non-understandable word.

Accurate and fast typing: Since typing is the bread and butter for a transcriptionist it is very important to have an accurate and fast typing speed of the transcriptionist. It is possible to complete the task quickly when the transcriptionist has a good typing speed. It is even possible to set industry standards by working towards good typing speed.

Technically equipped:It is always imperative to have the right tools to transcribe audio files to text. A workable headset is very important to make sure that the clarity of the audio is proper. The transcriptionist should also have the necessary tools to rewind and forward the audio at their convenience whenever they do not understand a particular word or sentence.

Transcribing media files is a challenge and a legit business industry which we only see growing as the business sector grows as well.
