An Excerpt From A Technical Report

I would like to share a portion of my technical report. It is one of the advantages of the district cooling system, its energy efficiency. " District cooling systems have proved to be a better solution for energy efficiency. According to Dincer and Abu-Rayash (2020), district cooling systems are 40% more efficient compared to conventional cooling systems like the air-conditioner.  A network that includes electric chillers for cold storage helps to reduce peak electricity demand for cooling in urban areas by shifting production to those periods of the day and night (Therma-Mech, 2019)."

A Critical Reflection

As the module comes to an end, I am inclined to reflect on this learning journey of improving my communication skills. At the beginning of this module, I wrote a descriptive reflection addressed to Professor Blackstone mentioning a few of my strengths, weaknesses, and goal by the end of this module. My goal was to be able to project my voice better when speaking.     Throughout the module, I had various opportunities to speak in front of my peers through settings like presentations and in-class public readings. At first, it was a struggle to project my voice across the room as I was feeling insecure about the said shortcoming. Adding to this difficulty was the global pandemic that resulted in me needing to speak through a mask. However, through various feedbacks from Professor Blackstone and my peers, and persistence on my part, I can confidently say that my voice projection has improved significantly. Moving forward, I would like to involve myself in public speaking activities to impr
