In the short term, we are developing new practical work methods in architectural, engineering and technical control practice, which facilitate effective compliance with the legally binding performance targets agreed in the 1997 Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

Global Warming (Archive) & Ozone Sites

 

This photograph, taken from the Space Shuttle on 4 March 1996, shows a coherent corridor of anthropogenic haze (between arrows), probably a mixture of industrial air pollution, dust, and smoke, in the left half of the view against the dark background of the East China Sea.  The corridor is approximately 200 Km wide and probably much more than 600 Km long (the visible length over the sea). The transport of smog from East Asia has been confirmed in measurements of the atmosphere over North America.        The Space Shuttle astronauts photographed upstate New York (USA) at sunset, on 21 October 2000.  Water bodies (Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, the Finger Lakes, the St. Lawrence and Niagara Rivers) are highlighted by Sun Glint (sun reflecting off the water surface), making for a dramatic and unusual regional view. The pollution layer is capped by an atmospheric inversion, which is marked by the layer of clouds at the top of the photograph.

Earth From Space

 

Note well that the European Union must achieve a far greater level of improvement in construction performance than Canada, USA(!?!?!), Japan, Australia, New Zealand or Russia - if its legally binding commitments under the 1997 Kyoto Protocol are to be met.

2005 - Demonstrable progress in achieving commitments must be shown by all parties to the Protocol (Article 3.2). This is not happening .... and the worst of all being .... Austria, Denmark, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Portugal & Spain ....

Awareness Raising about Climate Change in Europe
European Commission's WebSite




Regrettably, it must now be stated that the Bush Administration (USA) opt out from the Kyoto Protocol is not only dishonourable .... it is a blatant act of short term selfishness which, in the long term, will place a heavier burden on US industrial sectors .... but is already resulting in strategic difficulties at global level.  (Did Enron dictate this policy ?  Now, where are they ?   ...... Or, was it really ExxonMobil who demanded that this non-policy be implemented ?)

Furthermore, the Bush Administration's pressure on other parties to make the Protocol unworkable is entirely unacceptable.

St. Valentine's Day 2002 - President George W. Bush announced 'his' alternative US National Climate Change Policy .... an unneighbourly, immature, irresponsible and unethical non-policy .... and a plan designed to fail !

But then, just a few months later ?

Our continuing quest, however, is the realization of  Sustainable Buildings  which relate, in harmony and balance, with the 'natural environment',   and are ......
 
-
'person-centred', 'reliability-based', and socially inclusive ;
-
'flexible', 'adaptable', and 'accessible' for people with activity limitations ;
-
spatially complex, with some ambiguity, and yet understandable, e.g. easy for building users to find their orientation, and to connect with the exterior ;
-
electronically 'mature', yet energy efficient throughout ;
-
'places' of inspiration, and encouragement to human creativity ;
-
at the limits of economic viability & technical feasibility ;
-
beneficial with regard to overall 'environmental impact' ;
-
ethically informed, and need demonstrated.

Inadequate Fire Safety !
Timber-Framed & Other Innovative Housing Types
in Ireland

Since the turn of the New Century (& Millennium),
Construction in Ireland has been in a 'Critically Serious Overheat Mode'.
The Quality of Construction has suffered widely and badly.

Indeed, such has been the extent of the Boom
that Organizations and Individuals have resorted to importing
many innovative construction products and systems ....
often with scant regard for ensuring that these
are 'fit for their intended use' on Irish Building Sites.

We continue to receive complaints and requests for help from the public.

Our very clear recommendation, for Innovative Housing Types in Ireland,
is that Domestic Sprinkler Protection from Fire must be installed ....
in addition to the mandatory Fire Separating / Resisting Construction
and Fire Detection Systems specified in Building Regulations.

Domestic Sprinkler Protection from Fire must also be installed
in Timber-Framed Houses.
