Cleanliness and freshness in the house are very important for household members. There are many different ways allowing you to always keep the house exactly like this. Cleanliness is especially important if there are small children or allergy sufferers in the family.
First of all, it is necessary to remove all “dust collectors” and breeding grounds for bacteria from the house: carpets, bath mats, draperies upholstered furniture. If there is no way to remove these things, then you need to clean and wash them as often as possible. Professional dry cleaning of carpets will rid them of dust and absorbed odors. Due to constant humidity and temperature changes, bath mats are an excellent place for pathogens to reproduce. microorganisms and fungus. Ventilating your bathtub and keeping bath mats clean will provide a healthy environment for your family and guests.
For a good atmosphere in the house, instead of using air fresheners, you can have plants and flowers in pots. In addition to the fact that plants will saturate the rooms with ozone, flowering species will aromatize the rooms. There are a lot of flowering plants with a pleasant and quite strong aroma. Flowers not only freshen the air, but also make the house elegant and updated. If you still cannot refuse air fresheners, use those that do not saturate the room with a new aroma, but eliminate unpleasant odors.
There is another effective and fairly cheap way to get rid of unpleasant odors in the house - this is baking soda. You can place small amounts of baking soda around the house in areas where you want to get rid of bad smells: under the bed, under the sink in the kitchen, in the bathroom, toilet, etc. Old batteries can emit an unpleasant odor when heated, so it is advisable to replace them with new bimetallic heating radiators, which will keep the air fresh in the cold seasons.
Quite cheap and effective method flavor the room - brewing herbs. This method will provide a natural and fairly lasting aroma in your home.
Scented candles are also an option to change the atmosphere in the premises. But you need to use wax-based candles, not paraffin. The range of scented candles is very large, you can choose the scent that will be pleasant to you.
You can mix different spices and place this mixture around the house. This is also an inexpensive way to scent a room, and you can make your own scent: just mix dried flower petals and various spices in arbitrary proportions. Such mixtures work great in bathrooms, since due to humidity and high temperature, spices release their odors more actively.
Burj Khalifa is the most high building in Dubai and the world's tallest skyscraper. The shape of the building resembles a stalagmite, which rises up to 828 meters. The building has 163 floors, on which there are 9 hotels and a fountain system. The total cost of the structure is estimated at $4.1 billion. And this is even the most amazing facts about Burj Khalifa.
1. Tallest building in the world
It is common knowledge that Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the entire world. However, how tall is it compared to other monstrous structures? The height of the Burj Khalifa is 828 meters, and the height of the second tallest building in the world ( Shanghai Tower) is 632 meters. The difference is more than obvious. Also, Burj Khalifa is three times taller than the Eiffel Tower.
2. Inside the building
Those who think that the Burj Khalifa is very impressive from the outside have simply never been inside the skyscraper. The highest observation deck is at an altitude of 452 meters. The building has a total of 164 floors, 1 of which is underground, and as many as 58 elevators that travel at a speed of 10 meters per second (these are some of the fastest elevators in the world). Burj Khalifa also has 2,957 parking spaces, 304 hotels and 904 apartments. Interestingly, the Burj Khalifa provides special system elevators designed for evacuation during a fire.
3. The skyscraper was designed by Americans and built by a South Korean company
While Burj Khalifa is located in Dubai ( original title skyscraper - Burj Dubai), the building project was developed by the American firm Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. Engineers from Chicago helped develop a special support structure that resembles a three-pointed star. The construction of the building was entrusted South Korean company Samsung Engineering and Construction.
4. Several records
Everyone knows that Burj Khalifa is the record tallest building in the world. In fact, the Dubai skyscraper holds more than just this record. It is the tallest free-standing building, the building with the highest residential floor, the building with the highest big amount floors, a building equipped with the highest elevators and the second highest observation deck(the highest observation deck is at the Canton TV Tower).
5. What was needed for construction
In order to build such a titanic building of almost a kilometer, it took a lot of time and effort (namely, 6 years and 22 million man-hours). On especially busy days, more than 12,000 workers were on the construction site at one time.
6. Huge weight
The construction of the huge building required a huge amount of materials. So much aluminum was used that it would be enough to create 5 Airbus A380s. 55,000 tons of reinforcing steel and 110,000 tons of concrete were also used. This is approximately equal to the weight of 100,000 elephants. And if you take and stack the reinforcement from a building in a row, it would stretch over a quarter of the Earth.
7. Heat resistance
Dubai is very hot in the summer average temperature here it is 41 degrees. In July 2002, the highest temperature recorded in Dubai was 52 degrees. Naturally, a building built in this country must withstand extreme temperature changes. That's why more than 300 were hired Chinese experts on cladding, who have developed a cladding system that can protect against local temperatures.
8. Energy consumption
Naturally, normal life in such a huge building requires a monstrous amount of resources. For example, the Burj Khalifa requires about 950,000 liters of water every day (while Dubai on average uses about 200-300 liters of water per day). The building also consumes a huge amount of electricity (about as much as 360,000 hundred-watt light bulbs “eat”).
9. Skyscraper washing
How to clean and wash 26,000 glass panels that always look perfectly smooth. 12 machines are responsible for this, each weighing about 13 tons, moving along special rails on outside building. The cars are serviced by 36 people.
10. Floral design
The design of the Burj Khalifa was inspired by the Hymenocallis, a flower that has long petals radiating out from the center. The three wings of the Burj Khalifa spread out to the sides like these petals.
Burj Khalifa is the main attraction of Dubai. This is one of the world's record-breaking buildings, located in the United Arab Emirates. Firstly, it is the tallest building created in the entire history of mankind, secondly, it is the building with the largest number of floors, and, finally, the most expensive building in the world.
And this would seem like something completely unheard of and unprecedented if the Emirates had not surprised the world earlier by building the largest singing fountain, the most prestigious area with the largest artificially created beaches and canals, the most exclusive metro and much, much more, the most diverse and unusual. The skyscraper rises 828 meters high, the number of floors of the building is more than 160. And the total cost of the structure is more than one and a half billion dollars. By the way, controversy and rumors surrounded the Burj Khalifa all the time before the opening of the skyscraper. About height, for example. Initially, it was assumed that the 705 m high tower project would be a modified project of the Australian “Grollo Tower” (560 m). The project managers said that the height would in any case be more than 700 m (that is, the Burj Khalifa after completion of construction in any case will become the most tall building on the ground). In September 2006, rumors spread to society about the final height of 916 m, and then even 940 m. But still, the final height was 828 meters with 163 floors (not including technical levels).

The city of Dubai in the UAE, for many centuries it was a small trading port where fish and pearls were caught in the coastal waters of the Persian Gulf. In recent decades, the city's wealth has risen sharply thanks to the discovery of oil and the desire of its rulers to turn Dubai into business center. In 2003, two hundred skyscrapers had already been built or were under construction. And then the Emir of Dubai, Mohammed ibn Rashid, gave a simple order - to build the tallest building in the world. The construction of the tallest building begins with digging a hole, a very large hole.
Several months have passed since Dubai-based developer Emaar signed a contract with Chicago-based SOM. Oddly enough, this building does not have a foundation firmly anchored in the rocky ground. Here in the desert you won't find as much stone as in New York or others geological zones. We used hanging piles. These piles were screwed into sand and soft rock, and their load-bearing capacity was determined by their diameter and length. These are 45-meter piles, approximately one and a half meters in diameter. In total, we screwed in about 200 of these piles, says one of the project architects.
The skyscraper construction project included the construction of a so-called “city within a city” - its territory had its own parks, boulevards, and lawns. The total cost of the tower construction project was about one and a half billion dollars.
The author of the Burj Khalifa tower project was an architect from the USA, Adrian Smith, who had sufficient experience in designing similar structures. For example, Smith was directly involved in the design of the Jin Mao skyscraper, located in China, whose height is more than 400 meters. The construction division of Samsung from South Korea, which had previously taken part in the construction of similar objects, for example, the famous Petronas Twin Towers located in Malaysia.
Construction of the tallest skyscraper in the world was carried out quite quickly. Every week the building became 1-2 floors higher. After the 160th floor was built, concrete work stopped and assembly of the giant 180-meter spire from metal structures began. Construction of the skyscraper lasted for 5 years.
According to the project, 108 floors are allocated for residential premises: a luxury hotel is located on 37 of them, and ordinary apartments are located on the remaining floors. Although it’s hard to call apartments built in the most expensive and tallest skyscraper in the world “ordinary”! As noted above, the Burj Khalifa skyscraper is completely autonomous. To provide energy for such large-scale construction an equally large 61-meter turbine is used. In addition, numerous solar panels placed on the walls of the tower help provide the building with energy.
Despite its size, the building is well designed and protected, so in the event of a fire, complete evacuation takes only about half an hour!
The Sheikh of Dubai talks about plans to build the tallest building in the world Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, first announced in 2002. The tower was to become a key element of the new area, designed to attract tourists from all over the world to Dubai. The developer of the tower was a Dubai company Emaar, general contractor - South Korean Samsung Engineering. The tower was originally called Burj Dubai, from the Arabic Dubai Tower, but the completion of the project coincided with the global financial crisis and Dubai was forced to turn to the neighboring emirate of Abu Dhabi for help. In gratitude for the multi-billion dollar support received, the skyscraper was renamed in honor of the Sheikh of Abu Dhabi:“From now on and forever, this tower will bear the name “Khalifa” - “Burj Khalifa.”
In the outlines of the foundation one can see the outlines of the desert pancrat flower. This form facilitates the construction of buildings several hundred meters high. And when construction had already begun, lead architect George Estafio and his client made a bold decision - to increase the height of the building from the original 550, which exceeded the tallest Taipei Tower at that time (509.2 meters) by only a few meters, and not just increase, but almost doubled.
After laying the foundation, the tower began to grow rapidly. Work on site took place 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There were about 100 designers, architects, and engineers, and up to 12,000 workers worked on the site every day.
Every three days a new floor appeared. But the higher you go, the more problems there are. And the main one is the wind. It is impossible to build a single tower of such height and uniform shape. Then the effect of the wind will be too strong, the vibrations will become too significant.
The terraces were built according to a certain pattern, rising in a spiral. The shape of the building is asymmetrical. This way the wind creates less vibration of buildings and as it rises the asymmetry changes, but also creeps up.
When you build the tallest building in the world, every centimeter counts. When pouring concrete, engineers needed to know where the center of the building would be, and when constant movement it is not easy to calculate. The contractor installed 3 different devices GPS on the ground and another one at the very top of the building.
The external panels of the building represented big problem for engineers. The glass had to reflect heat but transmit light. It should also be water-, wind- and dust-proof. About 200 of these panels were required for each floor.
During construction, the creators provided literally everything - from high temperatures in the Arabian sun to the angle of incidence of light into the tower premises. The building is equipped with special solar protection and reflective glass panels that reduce the heating of the rooms inside (temperatures in Dubai reach 50°C), reducing the need for air conditioning. Well, for air conditioning in a skyscraper, a convection system is used, driving air from the bottom up along the entire height of the tower, and it will be used for cooling sea water and underground cooling modules. A special brand of concrete was created especially for the Burj Khalifa - such concrete is heat-resistant and does not deform under the scorching sun of the United Arab Emirates. By the way, the skyscraper will completely independently generate electricity for its own use: for this there will be a 61-meter wind-driven turbine and an array of solar panels (some of them are located on the walls of the tower).
Building project in in full costs more than one and a half billion dollars - a huge amount, albeit for a highly developed industry at this stage countries. Due to problems with financing the construction of the Burj Khalifa, the official opening of the skyscraper was postponed from September 9, 2009 (this date was originally planned - the opening date of the Dubai metro) to January 2010.
The Burj Khalifa project was created according to the idea of a “city within a city”. The building is surrounded by adjacent roads, convenient parking spaces, private lawns, boulevards and parks. In addition, the high-rise building hosts independent sponsored entertainment for young people and business people. Once again, a new site in the Khalifa Building is open for business. In addition to the hotel located on the first 37 floors, as well as luxury apartments between the 45th and 108th floors, most of floors are still given over to office areas and business premises. Spacious, comfortable and air-conditioned rooms for meetings and presentations are attractive today business people from all over the world, which once again brings Dubai to the level of the business capital of the world - since almost every complex of buildings that open every year has an investor’s corner, so to speak. The 123rd and 124th floors are equipped with an observation deck. Thousands of tourists who come here every year say that the sensations cannot be expressed in words - it is so breathtaking and filled with wonder, how could a person create such a thing!
In Arabic, "burj" means "tower".
The creators of the Dubai skyscraper also claim that distinctive feature The building is the highest residential floor and an observation deck located on the 124th floor. In the skyscraper, which can be seen from a distance of 90 kilometers, 57 elevators of the world's fastest system, the cabins move at a speed of 18 meters per second. There is also autonomous system power supply - a 60-meter wind turbine and huge solar panels. At the tower modern design, but its architecture also shows the influence of Islamic traditions.
According to the designers, the building is resistant to strong wind loads and can also withstand an earthquake. "We were struck by lightning twice, last year we felt the effects powerful earthquake in Iran. In addition, during construction we experienced everything possible types wind. The results are good," Mohamed Ali Alabbar, head of Emaar Properties, which built the tower, told the BBC.
Some of the apartments in the skyscraper were sold at a price of 24.3 thousand dollars per sq.m., but now their price has dropped by about half. A project that has demonstrated resistance to natural disasters, did not remain unaffected by the global financial crisis. According to analysts, there will be especially many problems with delivery office premises to Burj Dubai, as fewer and fewer companies can afford such luxury.
