‘Climate Change Levy’

A Buildingtalk guide

Start with the news release Need for more hospital improvements from SAS International, which we summarised at the time by saying "New survey from the Environment Action Team (PEAT) reveals only one in six hospitals in England rates its patient environment as 'excellent'.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Rethink refurbishment at INSITE11 at BRE Watford from BRE: "INSITE11 is an exhibition of over 50 refurbishment innovations, plus a tour of the BRE Victorian Terrace refurbishment project.".
 
In September 2011, we covered the news from ACO Building Drainage - take a look at Building in fire and smoke protection which says: "Peter Jennings, Technical Director for ACO Building Drainage, looks at how poor planning of drainage systems can contribute directly to the spread of fire in large buildings.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Doosan Infracore Construction Equipment, New Doosan DA40 articulated dump truck, as well as Warning over Green Deal misinformation from Glass and Glazing Federation, and Water supply surge protection in tall buildings from Wilo.
