โฆ Synopsis
A systematic study was made of the design of lifts for tall buildings, with particular regard to interaction with the total building design. Overall building objectives were identified and incorporated in a design.and-optimisation computer program. A feature of the program is that it will optimise, among other things, the number of rises in a building and the number of floors in each rise. Optimisation is based on the economic performance of the total design, and is subject to a comprehensive set of user constraints. An example illustrates the use of the program.

This paper presents a review of the Taiwanese building codes and their relevance to the performance of tall buildings during the 21 September 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake. The 1982 edition of the Taiwanese code as supplemented in 1991 is discussed in more detail, since very few of the buildings subjected
Proper design and selection of building components at the early stages of the design process can greatly help in achieving thermal comfort with minimum reliance upon HVAC systems and, therefore, minimum energy requirements. Given today's complexities in building design as well as advances in compute
