Assignment 1: Human Comfort within the building.
Scenario: A property developer is converting an old railway station into retail and office accommodation. The client is keen to make the working environment for the staff as comfortable as possible. As a consultant, explain how this can be done by addressing the relevant grading criteria.
To begin my assignment I would need to look at an Old Railway Station and how human comfort is affected within the building. In an old railway station there may already be rooms designed for offices and maybe a large area for retail depending on the size of the building, but when it was built along time ago human comfort may not have been taken into consideration as deeply. In an old building like this there will be small windows which will restrict natural light and also fresh air getting in, also with it being an office and retail accommodation together this means there may be a lot of noise in the offices which could cause a stressful environment to work in. When newly converted the new shop will be open and welcoming for the customers by having bright warm colours to make it feel inviting. It will be designed for a small shop like a coffee shop or small groceries shop. The offices will
Dream Home Construction HRIS needs are for the following, staffing strategy, total rewards strategy, training/learning strategy and performance management strategy. In continuing to provide high quality construction for dream homes in the Atlanta area, the company will need to implement an HRIS vendor or software package to assist with supporting the staffing, total rewards, training/learning, and performance management strategies. These functions will serve as a supportive background for the company by providing everything from skilled and talented labor to management training services, employee enrichment opportunities and more.

I’m proposing one of the vendors listed below to support Dream Home Construction’s HRIS needs.

Two main reasons contribute to why I would love to become a Housing Ambassador. To help get many prospective and current students excited and involved in campus housing is the first reason. So many people shoot down on campus housing because of the price; however, people do not realize housing is more than just a room you pay for. You live here, study here, and have fun here. There are many events, free stuff, and free food that residence halls and RSA provide for students. I want to be able to show students that off-campus students do not have the same experiences as on-campus students. The second reason I would like to become a Housing Ambassador is for the experience. Ultimately, I would like to become a dean or chancellor of a college in my golden years. Being an Housing Ambassador would provide me with life-long experiences that I could take into my future careers as a business leader, politician, and dean/ chancellor.
In some universities, the sharing of rooms between female and male is allowed. DSU housing should allow men and women to be roommates. First, there is some women and men that get along better than they would with the same-sex. For example, women tend to have more problems and drama with other women. When two or more women are placed in one house without knowing each other there is going to be misunderstandings. Also, in some situations two siblings, a brother and sister get along really well. Let’s say they have always lived together so being able to room together in college would be perfect for them. Second, some woman like having a male figure around just like a male might like having a female figure around. For instance, having a male figure

The housing crisis that has cast an overbearing shadow within our elderly communities across the United States is by far one of the worst human service issues I have witnessed. Those within the elderly community have somehow become the largest population of people that fill up our homeless shelters, owners of our foreclosed homes, and unfortunately have the least amount of affordable housing developments provided for them to live.
The first section of my report touches two case study buildings that considers such matters in an intimate way, the Dalby Forest Visitor Centre in Yorkshire, and the Heels Building, National Trust Headquarters, located in Swindon.

They upgrading a hotel first upgraded employee facilities. When a survey at London hotel showed dissatisfaction with workers’ areas, installed new floors, lockers, and showers within three months. Four-seasons needed to get it down to the front line: clerks, bell-staff, bartenders, waiters, cooks, housekeepers, and dishwashers, the lowest-paid and in most companies the least-motivated people, but the ones who would make or break a five-star service reputation. Four-seasons needs employees able and willing to respond on their own to whatever comes up, employees who can spot, solve, and even anticipate problems. That means delegating authority as well as responsibility. Four-seasons pay attention on how to treat employees and make them feel confortable when they work in hotel because employees could bring positive attitude towards customers if they in good mood.
Interior design and architecture are essential, and often overlooked, aspects of everyday life. In modern society people rely on function, durability, and visual appeal when selecting designs for their homes, businesses, and places of leisure. The way that a space is designed influences such things as mood, which, in the case of a business, can impact the productivity of employees and either draw or repel customers. In residential design, the design becomes very personal and, to be considered a successful design, must properly reflect the home owner while at the same time offering some practicality that makes the space livable. An effective design, for any space, must solve some problem, be it function, flexibility, or some other criteria. Simply solving a problem would not please the customer, however, unless it offered some visual appeal. Creating function with style is the real job of any interior designer, and is essential in a content society.
