A home energy checkup helps owners determine where their house is losing energy and money - and how such problems can be corrected to make the home more energy efficient. A professional technician - often called an energy auditor - can give your home a checkup. You can also do some of the steps yourself. Items shown here include checking for leaks, examining insulation, inspecting the furnace and ductwork, performing a blower door test and using an infrared camera.

Historic Environment Record for H BUILDING, Malvern, UK

The building, having military purposes and designated locally as H building, sits on a former Government Research site in Malvern, Worcestershire at Grid Ref SO 786 447. This site was the home of the Telecommunications Research Establishment (TRE) from 1946. It has been owned by QinetiQ since 2001 and is in the process (October 2017 to February 2018) of being sold for redevelopment.

This unique building has at its heart a ‘Rotor’ bunker with attached buildings to house radar screens and operators as well as plant such as emergency generators. Twenty nine Rotor operational underground bunkers were built in great urgency around Britain to modernise the national air defence network, following the Soviet nuclear test in 1949. Two factors make H building’s construction and purpose unique; this prototype is the only Rotor bunker built above ground and it was the home to National Air Defence government research for 30 years.This example of a ROTOR bunker is unique instead of being buried, it was built above ground to save time and expense, as it was not required to be below ground for its research purpose.

H Building was the prototype version of the Rotor project R4 Sector Operations Centre air defence bunkers. Construction began in August 1952 with great urgency - work went on 24 hours a day under arc lights. The main bunker is constructed from cross bonded engineering bricks to

form walls more than 2 feet thick in a rectangle approximately 65ft x 50ft. The two internal floors are suspended from the ceiling. The original surrounding buildings comprise, two radar control and operator rooms, offices and machine plant.

 

The building was in generally good order and complete. The internal layout of the bunker remains as originally designed. The internal surfaces and services have been maintained and modernised over the 55 years since its construction (Figure 3). The first floor has been closed over.

There are some later external building additions around the periphery to provide additional accommodation.

In parts of the building the suspended floor remains, with 1950s vintage fittings beneath such as patch panels and ventilation ducts.

The building has been empty since the Defence Science & Technology Laboratories [Dstl] moved out in October 2008

 

As lead for radar research, RRE was responsible for the design of both the replacement radars for the Chain Home radars and the command and control systems for UK National Air Defence.

Project Rotor was based around the Type 80 radar and Type 13 height finder. The first prototype type 80 was built at Malvern in 1953 code named Green Garlic. Live radar feeds against aircraft sorties, were fed into the building to carry out trials of new methods plotting and reporting air activity

 

A major upgrade of the UK radar network was planned in the late 1950s – Project ‘Linesman’ (military) / ‘Mediator’ (civil) – based around Type 84 / 85 primary radars and the HF200 height finder. A prototype type 85 radar (Blue Yeoman) was built adjacent to H Building in 1959. live radar returns were piped into H Building.

Subsequently a scheme to combine the military and civil radar networks was proposed. The building supported the research for the fully computerised air defence scheme known as Linesman, developed in the 1960s, and a more integrated and flexible system (United Kingdom Air Defence Ground Environment or UKADGE) in the 1970s.

The building was then used for various research purposes until the government relinquished the main site to QinetiQ in 2001. Government scientists continued to use the building until 2008. Throughout its life access was strictly controlled by a dedicated pass sytem.

Notable civil spin-offs from the research in this building include the invention of touch screens and the whole UK Civil Air Traffic Control system which set the standard for Europe.

 

Chronology

 

1952 - Construction work is begun. The layout of the bunker area duplicates the underground version built at RAF Bawburgh.

 

1953 - Construction work is largely completed.

 

1954 - The building is equipped and ready for experiments.

 

1956-1958 - Addition of 2nd storey to offices

 

1957-1960 - Experiments of automatic tracking, novel plot projection systems and data management and communications systems tested.

 

1960-1970 - Project Linesman mediator experiments carried out including a novel display technique known as a Touch screen ( A World First)

 

TOUCHSCREEN

 

A team led by Eric Johnson in H building at Malvern. RRE Tech Note 721 states: This device, the Touch Sensitive Electronic Data Display, or more shortly the ‘Touch Display’, appears to have the potential to provide a very efficient coupling between man and machine. (E A Johnson 1966). See also patent GB 1172222.

 

Information From Hugh Williams/mraths

  

1980-1990 - During this period experiments are moved to another building and H building is underused.

 

1990-1993 - The building was re-purposed and the bunker (room H57) had the first floor closed over to add extra floor area.

 

2008- The bunker was used until late 2008 for classified research / Joint intelligence centre

 

2019 - Visual Recording of the buildings interior by MRATHS. Be means of a LIDAR scan and photographs being taken. The exterior was mapped with a drone to allow a 3D Image of the building to be created via Photogrammetry. This was created in Autodesk Photo Recap.

 

2020 - Building demolished as part of the redevelopment of the site.

This quilt was part of an exhibition of quilts from members of the Irish Patchwork Society in 2006/07. This exhibition shows quilts from the past 25 years. For more information about patchwork and quilting in Ireland see www.irishpatchwork.ie

Succession is an exhibition of new works by Gaia, Nanook and Sebastian Moratana using the streets and history of Baltimore as material. Stemming from a practice of producing art in the public sphere, the show explores the social dynamic of the local urban environment. Situated in the heart of downtown, the work investigates the development and surface of the city in its simultaneous state of aspiration and decay.

 

Gaia’s work for Succession exhibits the narrative of Baltimore’s formerly glorious retail corridor - from the evacuation of white flight, to the divestment and subsequent redevelopment of the area.

 

Nanook’s street practice is geographically re-presented in the gallery through a series of objects amd images. The application of illegal street work becomes a vehicle for the exploration of forming a new urban environment derived solely of abandoned spaces. White Coffee Pot on Franklin and Howard Street which overlapped with a row home at Ashland and Castle is an example of these new formations.

 

"Stoops" by Sebastian Moratana , is an installation work that seeks to represent the ebb and flow of urban communities. By integrating a physical part of the street in a gallery setting, the objects encourage the viewer to participate in Baltimore's unique stoop culture by sitting, standing and touching the historically iconic "white marble steps." The stoops are at once past, present and future. They have been salvaged from homes, neighborhoods and communities that have ceased to exist. Like those communities, the steps can be rebuilt, but once removed the original spirit is gone. These will never be made again from the local stone; the area quarry now only produces rubble and dust. Only by honoring the past can we attempt to rebuild the community that was lost.

GreenChange.net hosted an inspiring Climate Action 2020 Meetup at Good Earth in Mill Valley to talk about collective actions we can take to help fight climate change in 2020.

 

Featured speakers included:

• Sarah Turner, Mill Valley Seniors for Peace

• Emily Pitkin, Tam Environmental Club

• Sarah Goody, Climate Now

• Max Perrey, Sustainable Mill Valley

• Laura Vernon, Sustainable Fairfax

• Barbara Bogard, Sierra Club Marin

• Silke Valentine, 350 Marin

• Belle Cole, OFA Marin

• Susan Bolle, Democracy Action Marin

 

These community leaders talked about their projects and how we can join forces to fight climate change next year. Our follow-up group discussion also gave us a chance to discuss a range of collective climate actions we can take together next year: joining climate strikes, electing green politicians, declaring a climate emergency in our cities, organizing earth week activities, hosting more meetups and creating more online resources.

 

This community meetup took place in our partner Good Earth’s new classroom in Mill Valley on December 4th, 2019 at 6pm. It was led by Fabrice Florin for GreenChange.net, with the help of Lily Cohen, Kelly Horner, Rob Mayfield, Marilyn Price and Raena Wilson. We’re grateful to them all.

 

Join your neighbors to take climate action!

Took these and a bunch more pictures during my biology classes scavenger hunt for our final. Deanna Zavagno was my partner and we had to go around State Road Park and find animals, garbage, and whatever we could that was apart of nature or destroying it. We found so many things, more trash than anything. What's that tell you?

Regional stakeholders from governments, development organizations and academia came together from 20 to 22 October in Phnom Penh, Cambodia for a workshop that focused on scenario-guided policy analysis on the future of development, food security and the environment under climate change in Southeast Asia. The workshop was organized by UNEP-WCMC in collaboration with CCAFS and is part of UNEP-WCMC’s project Commodities and Biodiversity, Planning for Future Capacity funded by The MacArthur Foundation.

Environment Ministers from across Australia met in Darwin to discuss a deposit system for bottles and cans. I remember when I was a kid and we could get a decent price for aluminium cans. We would scrounge around football games and public events swooping on every can we saw. It was a great way of life and taught us about the value of recycling. Maybe these kids will have the same experience.

many possibilities to make this an interactive book-sharing board..have students put the title of books they are reading on the leaves, with content related to environment

Image Craft's ICON Themed Environments division created this new suite of office furniture, custom designed for our recently expanded Colorado office, now located in Centennial.

 

Shown here in various stages of production are a reception desk, media wall with podium, conference room table, storage and display credenzas, and more! The furnishings, primarily composed of shop ply and MDF, feature a zebra wood laminate with folkstone gray and matte black laminate work surfaces.

 

This project was produced entirely in-house in our Phoenix headquarters, from design to fabrication, and ultimately, through on-site installation. Backlit lettering and graphics are also part of the overall concept, and will be the final addition. We'll add more photos here as the project progresses.

This week, Mike reports from a burial ground in Cambridge, England. He speaks to Dr Aubrey de Grey about his research on prolonging life and a group of elderly people about whether they would like to live longer. Also, pupils from the Charter School in South East London tell Mike what they would like the programme to be about next week.

Environment Awareness Raising Initiatives for Children

Gallery show by visiting professors Lisa Hsieh and Jr-Gang Chi of ar-ch. (Website is totally "under construction," link is provided for posterity.) I'm interested in their work; they've been exploring themes of transformation and change in a "playful" mode that recalls Hejduk's masques, minus the spooky mystic qualities. Their "Read Or Die" studio in Spring 09 involved students designing custom personal contraptions for anime characters; the contraptions then got scaled up or adapted to produce the building.

 

In fact, their work alternates back and forth between the transformable prosthetic/toy object as extension of the body (as in the "Read or Die" projects, or Chi's earlier studio projects featuring animal-based contraptions) and the transforming environment - see for example Motile Space (video link).

 

The "Toy Talk" show splits the difference between these poles - the objects are furniture/prosthetic sized but they operate as an environment; the gallery visitor doesn't act to transform them but instead the creators sneak in during the night and move the toys around, changing their positions and their individual configurations. This video, starring Hsieh, gives you a good sense of the "toys" and their construction/nature.

 

So on one level it's a kind of cutesy, "The toys are coming to life!" thing. But I remain really interested in the marriage of "play" and "transformable stuff" as themes; I think theirs is work to watch in the future.

 

I had more to say about all that but I sort of lost it in the shuffle, sorry...

Haze back in Singapore, PSI hits 84

 

Posted: 19 October 2010 1924 hrs

SINGAPORE : The haze is back in Singapore, with the southwesterly winds blowing in the smoke from the fires in Sumatra.

 

The National Environment Agency (NEA) said the 3-hour PSI reading on Tuesday climbed from 78 at 6pm to 84 at 8pm before dropping to 61 at 11pm. Though the readings are still in the moderate range, the condition has worsened from the 24-hour reading of 56 at 4pm.

 

The 24-hour PSI is a measure of the air quality over a period of 24 hours. It is updated at 4pm daily. The 3-hour PSI reading is a measure of the air quality over a period three hours. It is updated on the hour.

 

A PSI reading of above 100 is considered unhealthy.

 

The NEA said the latest satellite pass detected 202 hotspots in Sumatra, mainly in the provinces of South Sumatra, Jambi and Riau.
