buildings description
Buildings are where the majority people in modern societies spend most of their time, whether in homes, commercial buildings, industrial facilities or retail complexes. The design and construction of buildings require a large investment of time, money and other resources. Then they require additional resources for running costs and maintenance. Bad design can greatly increase energy consumption over the whole lifetime of the building. Fortunately, good building design can greatly reduce energy consumption during construction and ongoing throughout a building's life. - Description added by: David Lockie (Admin)

The Letter Box Interior Plate going
to Manufacture. Orders taken for first run.
No springs,catches, magnets, brushes,seals
www.theletterplate.com
  Initial production will be in ABS black,silver or white or aliminium to follow.  Approx. size 250mm x 70mm. Basic concept of the design of letter boxes has remained the same for 159 years with the exception of additions of springs,  magnets,  catches etc. All these have not really addressed heat loss on current solutions without trapped mail or potential injury to fingers.Ecotech Ltd., has redesigned the concept  allowing the flap to use the wind to blow it shut.
