  • Insulating Thatched Roofs This Guidance Note Has Been Prepared and Edited by David Pickles
    Energy Efficiency and Historic Buildings Insulating Thatched Roofs This guidance note has been prepared and edited by David Pickles. It forms one of a series of thirteen guidance notes covering the thermal upgrading of building elements such as roofs, walls and floors. First published by English Heritage March 2012. This edition (v1.1) published by Historic England April 2016. All images © Historic England unless otherwise stated. Illustrations drawn by Simon Revill. Our full range of guidance on energy efficiency can be found at: HistoricEngland.org.uk/energyefficiency Front cover: Thatch repairs in progress. © Philip White. Summary This guidance provides advice on the principles, risks, materials and methods for insulating thatched roofs. There are estimated to be about fifty thousand thatched buildings in England today, some of which retain thatch which is over six hundred years old. Thatching reflects strong vernacular traditions all over the country. Well-maintained thatch is a highly effective weatherproof coating as traditional deep thatched eaves will shed rainwater without the need for any down pipes or gutters. Locally grown thatch is a sustainable material, which has little impact on the environment throughout its life-cycle. It requires no chemicals to grow, can be harvested by hand or using traditional farm machinery, requires no mechanical processing and therefore has low embodied energy and can be fixed using hand tools. At the end of its life it can be composted and returned to the land. Thatch has a much greater insulating value than any other traditional roof covering. With the right choice of material and detailing, a well-maintained thatched roof will keep a building warm in winter and cool in summer and has the added advantage of being highly sound-proof.

  • Common Reed for Thatching in Northern Germany: Estimating the Market Potential of Reed of Regional Origin
    resources Article Common Reed for Thatching in Northern Germany: Estimating the Market Potential of Reed of Regional Origin Lea Becker, Sabine Wichmann and Volker Beckmann * Faculty of Law and Economics & Institute of Botany and Landscape Ecology, University of Greifswald, Soldmannstr. 15, D-17489 Greifswald, Germany; [email protected] (L.B.); [email protected] (S.W.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +49-3834-420-4122 Received: 1 October 2020; Accepted: 12 December 2020; Published: 16 December 2020 Abstract: Reed has a long tradition as locally available thatching material, but nowadays thatch is a globally traded commodity. Germany and other major importing countries such as the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Denmark rely on high import rates to meet the national consumption. This study aimed at providing a detailed picture of the thatching reed market in Northern Germany and at assessing the market potential for reed of regional origin. A written survey among all thatchers in Northern Germany was carried out in 2019, arriving at an effective sample of 47 out of 141 companies. The results revealed that for the responding companies the majority of the reed (59%) was used for rethatching roofs completely, 24% for newly constructed roofs, and 17% for roof repairs. Reed from Germany held a low share of 17% of the total consumption in 2018. Own reed harvesting was conducted by less than 9% of the responding companies and given up during the last decades by another 26%. The total market volume of reed for thatching in Northern Germany was estimated for 2018 with a 95% confidence interval at 3 0.8 million bundles of reed with a monetary value at ± sales prices of ¿11.6 2.8 million.

The reason for this is that, due to their age, there were many good places to choose to build such properties. Often thatched properties are found near to a natural water supply and are on sheltered, slightly sloping land which gives good drainage and, thus, reduces problems with damp. The thick straw or reed roofing provides excellent natural soundproofing from overhead aircraft as well as road traffic nearby. Likewise, it gives great insulation meaning that the thatched home remains cool in summer but warm in winter, helping to keep fuel costs low. The smaller windows that are normally to be found on such a property also contribute towards this insulating effect. Due to their age, thatched houses usually have very thick, solid walls which are advantageous over modern cavity filled walls. In summer the heat from the outside travels very slowly to the inside ensuring that the temperature within remains cool. The weatherproof thatch on the roof can withstand very strong, even gale force, winds and is very rarely prone to leaking.

'How very little since things were made, Things have altered in the building trade' Rudyard Kipling INTRODUCTION Thatch has been used as a roofing material from the earliest times. The basic tools of the thatcher's craft have not changed over hundreds of years. A marginal sketch on a Court roll of 1364, for the Manor of Crowle, in Lincoln- shire, England depicts a thatcher's 'legget' very similar to those in use today; which goes to show that Kipling was right about thatch, at all events! Thatching is a craft that is traditionally handed down from father to son. It is not normally taught in other ways. So there is relatively little documented information. In South Africa there is evidence that many home owners and potential home owners would welcome such information. This guide has been compiled partly from other published information but mainly from dixussions with craftsmen in South Africa. The guide describes the basic techniquesused in thatching. It identifies certain problems that are commonly encountered and suggests means for over- coming them.

  • The Governance of Artisanal Fisheries in the Sherbro River Area of Sierra Leone
    The Governance of Artisanal Fisheries in the Sherbro River Area of Sierra Leone This project is funded by A report by The European Union Environmental Justice Foundation EXECUTIVE SUMMARY © EJF This report sets out the historic and existing governance arrangements for artisanal fishing in the Sherbro River Estuary (hereafter ‘the Estuary’), where fishing is vital to the livelihoods and food security of local communities. It uses research from 17 community visits and interviews of key stakeholders to analyse current and historic conditions at the levels of local communities, traditional authorities, local government and central government. Four key findings and recommendations are summarised below: 1. FINDING: After seven years of decentralisation, local councils are not perceived to be effective at fisheries management: The clearest consensus in the area of governance to arise during the community engagement process regarded the perceived ineffectiveness of local councils. Even within the councils themselves, there was widespread agreement that they did not currently have the capacity to assume their statutory duties in the area of fisheries management. More broadly, fishing communities across the Estuary did not identify closely with the councils or their elected representatives. RECOMMENDATION: For councils to become effective in the area of fisheries management, they must not only build technical capacity in the fisheries sector but also improve their overall legitimacy as representative and accountable democratic institutions. This can be done in part through increasing contact with elected officials and pooling the regulatory resources of the Estuary’s two councils. The Government and partner NGOs must address this as part of the development of an MPA and associated co-management bodies.

  • Restoring Food Security to Flood-Affected Families in Sierra Leone
    RESTORING FOOD SECURITY TO FLOOD-AFFECTED FAMILIES IN SIERRA LEONE After heavy and above-average rains fell in September 2015 in the Southern Province and Western Area, an estimated 22 000 people were affected and thousands of hectares of land were destroyed. The worst of the damage occurred in Bo, Bonthe and Pujehun districts. Because many households in Sierra Leone depend on agriculture for their food and income, the loss of crops and seeds devastated the food and nutrition security of farmers in these areas, who were already at the peak of the lean season. This project was implemented to immediately improve ©FAO Sierra Leone household food security while allowing farmers to restart agricultural production during the main growing season. WHAT DID THE PROJECT DO? KEY FACTS Critical agricultural inputs (seed rice, vegetable seeds, fertilizers Contribution and simple hand tools) were provided to 1 781 flood-affected USD 475 000 households in Bo, Bonthe and Pujehun districts to restart agricultural production activities. This distribution was Duration supplemented by capacity building in food-crop production. May 2016 – May 2017 Resilience building and disaster risk management (DRM) Resource Partners training improved the capacities of communities to deal with FAO future disasters, built resilience and strengthened preparedness for agricultural risk mitigation. A DRM contingency plan was Partners also developed, and the capacities of the newly established Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry district disaster management committees (DDMCs) were and Food Security, Community Action enhanced. for Rural Development Beneficiaries IMPACT 1 781 flood-affected farmers, After inputs were supplied to the flood-affected households members of the three DDMCs that are and technical assistance was extended, rice yields returned made up of government authorities, to the levels that they were before the flooding, approximately Non-governmental Organizations 1.7 tonnes per hectare.
