Building Energy Rating (BER) Ireland
The energy savings movement in the 21st century for some is long overdue but for others it has come just in time. The global warming crisis has sparked an international call for energy saving measures and alternative heating introduction into the daily life of millions across the world. Ireland is fast moving its own energy saving and energy rating initiatives forward in a move to introduce energy alternatives to their nation.
At the heart of the initiative is Irelands Building Energy Rating criteria. Ireland has set forth a five-year plan to introduce sustainable energy technology and practices into the building standards for its residents. Taking such drastic steps to move the energy sustainable vision forward would set Ireland apart from the rest of the world as the potential leaders of the global sustainable energy and building energy rating movement.
The Building Energy Rating (BER) is the fundamental basis for setting the energy sustainable standard. Appliances have carried energy star ratings for years. Now energy standard ratings are applied to the building rating and standards as well. BER standards are necessary standard for building to have in order to meet the legal obligation of the property owners.
Newly constructed building especially must carry an official Building Energy Rating certification by the time of completion. As a rule, these newly constructed building or homes tend to receive their energy standard rating at the beginning stages of the design plans in order to meet energy rating standards and inspections.
There are a few exemptions to the BER energy rating certification. The types of buildings or structures that fall under this exemption are listed buildings or historical importance buildings that are considered to be of exceptional architectural relevance. Building ratings are determined by a national methodology system of rating homes called the Dwellings Energy Assessment Procedure (DEAP). In 2006, the Dwellings Energy Assessment Procedure for energy rating standards and methods were first introduced.
DEAP is considered of same importance or merit of the European Standard (prEN13790) and the UK Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP). The standard method of energy rating is not yet available for non-residential property or dwellings. The criteria for a property or dwelling seeking to obtain a rating includes the property owners ability to prove the high performing energy savings aspects in the property to be assessed. Using windows that fit in accordance with the BER standards and addressing energy saving alternatives for both heating and hot water facilities are just some of the important factors in successfully receiving a BER rating.
The assessment factors also require a property owner at the time of selling their home to take into account the energy saving aspects of the property. Once the assessments of the property have been completed by a certified inspector or assessor the information is then filed in the records for the property. An extensive survey of the property is necessary to make a fair and accurate assessment of the property's energy attributes to be assessed for an energy standard rating.
The responsibilities of individual nations to implement such standards across the board are at the foremost importance of the Ireland energy standards community. Formerly the Irish Energy Centre, the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) was introduced by the government in 2002 as the Irish official national energy authority.

The Global Lincoln $24.95 Perhaps more than any other American, Abraham Lincoln has become a global figure, one who spoke--and continues to speak--to people across the world. Karl Marx judged Lincoln "the single-minded son of the working class"; Tolstoy reported his fame in the Caucasus; Tomas Masaryk, the first president of Czechoslovakia, drew strength as "the Lincoln of Central Europe"; racially-mixed, republican "Lincoln brigades" fought in the Spanish Civil War; and, more recently, statesmen ranging from Gordon Brown to Pervez Musharraf to Barack Obama have invoked Lincoln in support of their respective agendas. This fascinating volume brings together leading historians from around the world to explore Lincoln's international legacy. The authors examine the meaning and image of Lincoln in many places and across continents, ranging from Germany to Japan, India to Ireland, Africa and Asia to Argentina and the American South. The book reveals that at the heart of Lincoln's global celebrity were his political principles, his record of successful executive leadership in wartime, his role as the "Great Emancipator," and his resolute defense of popular government. Yet the "Global Lincoln" has been a malleable and protean figure, one who is forever being redefined to meet the needs of those who invoke him. The first study of Lincoln's global legacy, this book tells the unknown and remarkable story of the world-wide impact of one of America's great presidents. |

Finding Global Balance $14.99 This book relates the latest chapter in the story of a remarkable partnership between the worlds of faith and development, launched in 1998 by Jim Wolfensohn and then Archbishop of Canterbury, George Carey, when they convened a meeting of faith and development leaders in Lambeth Palace. The intervening years have seen the growth and enhancement of a network of world faith and development leaders who share a common passion to eradicate global poverty, extend social justice and ensure global security for all of the world's people. Periodically this group of leaders gathers together to debate issues of common concern and global significance. The most recent meeting took place in Dublin, Ireland in Janaury 2005. Debates over two days were rich and provocative, examining issues ranging from the recent Asian tsunami, to HIV/AIDS, gender and youth, and the roots of conflict, all viewed through the lens of equity. References to the ethical dimensions of poverty alleviation and the need for a strong moral underpinning as a foundation for equitable and sustainable development lay at the heart of every session. The uniqueness of this partnership is the fresh perspective it offers on critical development issues and the opportunity for faith leaders and development leaders to seek new avenues for collaboration. This book tells the story of this partnership, within the context of the Dublin meeting. |

The Global Lincoln (Hardcover) $57.94 More than any other American historical figure, Abraham Lincoln towers over the global landscape, a leader who spoke--and continues to speak--to people around the world. The Global Lincoln tells the unknown and remarkable story of this great president`s worldwide legacy. Edited by acclaimed Lincoln biographer Richard Carwardine and Jay Sexton, this fascinating volume brings together leading historians from around the globe--including such writers as Harold Holzer, Kenneth O. Morgan, and David W. Blight--to explore the image and influence of Lincoln in places ranging from Germany to Japan, India to Ireland, Africa and Argentina to the American South. The contributors show that the heart of Lincoln`s global celebrity lies in his status as the archetypal self-made man, his record of successful leadership in wartime, his role as the "Great Emancipator," and his resolute defense of popular government. Yet "Lincoln" has also been a malleable and protean figure, one who is forever being redefined to meet the needs of those who invoke him, from Marx and Tolstoy to soldiers fighting in the "Lincoln Brigades." |

History of Britain & Ireland $40 The History of Britain and Ireland traces the key events that shaped the societies living in the British Isles from the earliest times to the present day. From the Roman conquest of 43 CE to the Norman conquest of 1066, from the Elizabethan age of Shakespeare to the Victorian age of Charles Dickens, and from the Hundred Years War of the 14th and 15th centuries to the Iraq and Afghan wars of the 21st century, this beautifully illustrated book provides a definitive visual chronicle of the most colorful and defining episodes in British history. The story begins at least half a million years ago when humans started to make their home in Britain. Around 3000 BCE, the first Britons were making their mark on the landscape at remarkable sites such as the stone village of Skara Brae in Orkney and the earliest earthworks at Stonehenge. They entered the annals of recorded history with Julius Caesar's exploratory expedition across the Channel in the late summer of 55 BCE. From then on the small group of islands off the west coast of Europe was never far from the center of world affairs: pioneering the industrial revolution, creating the largest empire the world has ever seen, fighting two world wars in the 20th century, and finally coming to terms with a new status in a fast-changing global economy. The History of Britain and Ireland combines a spread-by-spread narrative of events with a wealth of supporting features on the decisive turning points in the long and fascinating story of the British Isles, and on the outstanding individuals-from Geoffrey Chaucer and Queen Elizabeth I to Charles Darwin and Winston Churchill-who helped shape that story. |
