Henry Gifford, photo by Travis Roozee “Is LEED a Fraud?” is the provocative title of an article on the Fine Homebuilding website by Kevin Ireton. It appears that mechanical designer Henry Gifford thinks it is, and makes a few good points in his paper A Better Way To Rate Green Buildings. (

Dead mosquito photo

Malaria is a huge problem. About 1 million dead a year, and countless others who suffer. Bill Gates was quite eloquent about it at the TED conference this year (he actually released mosquitoes in the audience). There are many ways to fight it - finding drugs, inexpensive bed nets, insecticides, etc - but this is the first that I hear of shooting down mosquitoes wi…

Up in the Chattahoochee Hill country, you’ll find Serenbe, a sustainable-living cottage community in rural Palmetto, GA. The developers planned this community with the focus on preserving the pristine nature of the landscape and adopting green building principles. The 900-acre Greenfield community has kept 70% of its woods, meadows, and wetlands untouched. 




The cottages are quaint and the whole environment leaves you with a sense of belonging. This is a place where people truly take pride in their healthy lifestyle and community. The development includes a 30-acre organic farm that supplies a local farmers’ market, 3 restaurants, and members of the CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). 


This community has it all: quaint shops, walking trails, pedestrian friendly streets, a beautiful inn, restaurants, horse stables, and art galleries. 




Its buildings are warmed and cooled using geothermal technology, and its houses, which overlook lakes and green space, are built using solar heating and energy-efficient appliances. They incorporated a natural storm water management system, and waste water is filtered and reused for toilet flushing and irrigation. Each home is certified to EarthCraft Homes “green” standards. All homes at Serenbe back up to one of four types of preserved land; forest, wildflower meadows, organic farm, or pasture. 


The developer’s vision was inspired and modeled after environmentally conscious Prairie Crossing, in Grayslake, Illinois, which has become an international prototype for suburban, environmentally-friendly communities since it opened in 1995. You’ll now find communities like Prairie Crossing and Serenbe sprouting up in rural areas across the country. The main theme of these communities: land preservation, energy conservation, and green building. (more…)

  So from that time on, many have put up statues of Persians
supporting entablatures and their ornaments, and thus from that motive
have greatly enriched the diversity of their works radio internetowe Such a
tower, he says, ought to be ten stories high, with windows in it on all
sides.

5 Hence it is not in all
the places where boiling springs of hot water abound, that there is the
same combination of favourable circumstances which has been described
above Then, upon this level surface
construct a block as large as is required, and when it is finished,
leave it for not less than two months to dry Now whether this appearance is due to the impact of the images, or to
the effusion of the rays from the eye, as the physicists hold, in either
case it is obvious that the vision may lead us to false impressions.

are always six of them making their way above the earth; for,
corresponding to that part of the last sign which in the course of its
revolution has to sink, pass under the earth, and become concealed, an
equivalent part of the sign opposite to it is obliged by the law of
their common revolution to pass up and, having completed its circuit, to
emerge out of the darkness into the light of the open space on the other
side odpady last minute szalunki This would not be so unless the mountains had
beneath them huge fires of burning sulphur or alum or asphalt The diminution of the column should be the same as
described for Ionic columns in the third book The height
of all oblong rooms should be calculated by adding together their

result for the height It is said

four-inch frames were drawn by oxen, the wheels turned on the pivots
enclosed in the rings, and the architraves, which were enclosed like
axles in the wheels, soon reached the building, in the same way as the
shafts First, in the circle at the bottom
where the Roman has four triangles, the Greek has three squares with
their angles touching the line of circumference Then, cut away the
marginal wall which supports the sand kserokopiarki katowice polytech In the
roof-opening let an aperture be left with a breadth of not less than
one fourth nor more than one third the width of the atrium, and with a
length proportionate to that of the atrium.
