Towards Zero Carbon Homes in England? From Inception to Partial Implementation

In 2007, the UK Government announced an ambitious zero-carbon target for all new housing in England. This paper shows how the definition and its associated policies emerged from discourses of environmental policy innovation; how the problem subsequently became framed as one of mainstreaming, consequent upon the apparent success of experimental schemes and defined in more detail through the interaction between pressure group politics and the technical analyses that accompanied the government's consultation exercises. Finally, it shows how regional and local variations in housing and property markets are likely to influence the ease of zero carbon development. The analysis uses concepts drawn from both the science and technology literature and the literature on policy implementation.     

对建筑业产业定位等若干问题的思考

建筑业是国民经济的支柱产业之一,应属国家的第二产业,但现实中却没有明确的产业定位。加之与此相关的法规缺失、制度滞后及某些行政管理错位,给建筑业的发展造成制约。建议国家有关部门要认真研究建筑业发展的问题,为建筑业发展创造良好的外部环境。     

环境非政府组织在环境影响评价中的作用探讨

概述了环境非政府组织的涵义、环境非政府组织的专业性优势和公益性优势,进一步分析了公众参与的主体和形式,以及公众在参与环境影响评价过程中存在的局限性,包括公众的环境意识不强、公众不能对项目发布信息进行有效加工、公众在参与环境影响评价决策过程中缺乏影响力。结合环境非政府组织的优势得出环境非政府组织在公众参与中可以发挥积极作用,主要为沟通桥梁作用、为普通公众提供技术信息支持、教育宣传作用、增强公众的影响力、后续监督作用。     

Experimental study of CT test on the failure of acrylate spray-applied waterproof layer in the groundwater environment

In this study the computerized tomography (CT) was first used to quantitatively analyze the failure of acrylate spray-applied waterproof membrane in the groundwater environment. The results of the CT tests show that it is feasible to use the CT to quantitatively analyze the failure of the waterproof membrane and the CT method has the advantages of speediness and accuracy that can eliminate the fussy operation process in routine tests. The main conclusions summarized from the study are as follows. First, the...

Could sperm quality be affected by a building environment? A literature review

The human body responds psychologically and physiologically to the thermal environment to which it is exposed. Fanger's PMV model has been adopted for the design of built environments and building maintenance from the end of the 1960s. The sperm quality of humans has been decreasing since the 1970s. The thermal environment is one of the most important factors of the Sick Building Syndrome (SBS). It is well known that spermatogenesis is very sensitive to heat exposure. Mild thermal exposure increases tissue microcirculation and consequently produces an appropriate supply of nutrients and oxygen to tissue cells; thus, it can modulate the proliferation of Sertoli cells in which the spermatogonia stem cells develop into adult spermatozoa. Excessive exposure to heat is harmful to spermatogenesis, and excessive testicular cooling can cause the cessation of spermatogenesis.
