Key Points:

What’s more, the pace and scale of climate action initiatives as a result of human-caused global warming have been insufficient.
As the silent yet impactful contributor to CO2 emissions, embodied carbon is one of the construction industry’s most pervasive environmental concerns.
The survey reveals clear signs of a perception gap, with the majority of respondents underestimating the significance of the industry’s carbon emissions.
Over 80% of companies tracking their embodied carbon emissions have been doing so for less than five years, with promising outcomes.

FAROE ISLANDS, Denmark, July 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The John Paul DeJoria arrived in the area outside of the Faroese 12-mile territorial limit on July 7th, 2023 while respecting the request to not enter Faroese territorial waters, until a "Grind" (mass whale hunt) was called near Torshavn. A Grind was called on Sunday, July 9th, 2023, at which time, the crew on the John Paul DeJoria had an ethical and moral responsibility to defend and protect the victims of the horrifically violent Grindadrap from the vicious and brutal slaughter of entire families of pilot whales. The John Paul DeJoria made way towards the location of the slaughter. Unfortunately, it was a race against time and distance to reach the location where 78 pilot whales were being cruelly slaughtered before the shocked eyes of hundreds of cruise ship passengers onboard the vessel Ambition.

Key Points:

On the morning of July 19th, the crew of the John Paul Dejoria was once again alerted to two pods of pilot whales near the island of Vagur.
This necessitated the re-entry into Faroese waters for the purpose of defending the lives of the pilot whales from a potential Grind.
After re-entry into Faroese waters, the John Paul DeJoria was pursued by two Faroese Coast Guard Patrol boats.
One of the RIB's carried 14 Faroese Police officers as a boarding team to intercept the John Paul DeJoria.

After reviewing the evidence in the proceeding, the BCUC found that the modest affordability benefits for those residential customers in the lowest usage segments under BC Hydro’s proposed pricing principles would not outweigh the potentially significantly higher bill impact for the remaining residential customers not in those usage segments.

Key Points:

After reviewing the evidence in the proceeding, the BCUC found that the modest affordability benefits for those residential customers in the lowest usage segments under BC Hydro’s proposed pricing principles would not outweigh the potentially significantly higher bill impact for the remaining residential customers not in those usage segments.
Therefore, for high usage customers, the bill increase under the approved pricing principles is $14 to $104 less than the annual increase under BC Hydro’s proposal.
On March 21, 2023, the BCUC approved BC Hydro’s residential service pricing principles for fiscal 2024 on an interim basis, effective April 1, 2023.
The final rate changes for fiscal 2024 will be determined by the BCUC once it issues its final decision on BC Hydro’s Fiscal 2023 to Fiscal 2025 Revenue Requirements (Rates) Application currently under review.

Thursday, May 11, 2023

Building Transparency’s premier technology solution is the Embodied Carbon in Construction Calculator (EC3) .

Key Points:

Building Transparency’s premier technology solution is the Embodied Carbon in Construction Calculator (EC3) .
By being able to measure the amount of embodied carbon within production materials, these stakeholders are empowered to evaluate a project’s overall carbon emissions and utilise that information to procure low-carbon material alternatives or, in the case of regulators, set embodied carbon limits.
In-progress development sees RIB’s solutions ultimately enabling better design and procurement decisions factoring in cost, time and carbon in order to mitigate and eliminate embodied carbon used across the life of a building.
From planning to construction, to operation and maintenance, RIB is placing people, sustainability and industry best practices at the heart of everything it does.
