Investigating the Utility of Local Knowledge for Natural Resource Management in the Western Amazon
GEOGRAPHY IN THE JUNGLE: INVESTIGATING THE UTILITY OF LOCAL KNOWLEDGE FOR NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN THE WESTERN AMAZON By DAVID SEWARD SALISBURY A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2002 Copyright 2002 by David Seward Salisbury ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First, I thank my parents and siblings. I have been lucky to accompany them on many adventures and they have always been supportive of my own. Second, I thank Marianne Schmink, who has been a great advisor. She is hortatory, demanding and patient in equal measure, and I am grateful for the bumpy truck ride in Acre that brought us together, and me on the road to Gainesville, many summers ago. Third, I want to thank my uncle, Foster Brown; my tia, Vera Passos; and Valerio Gomes and the rest of the Florida/Acre mafia, who have made Rio Branco a most welcoming place. Fourth, I am indebted to my friends at Florida. I must especially recognize Valerio, Skee and Rich, who have been great friends in times good and bad. The Florida Ultimate team also deserves special recognition for providing a special experience away from the books. Fifth, I thank the people at INCRA, EMBRAPA and especially PESACRE who provided me with this great research opportunity and supported me throughout. Special thanks go to Cazuza Borges, who introduced me to Seringal São Salvador. Sixth, I thank my geography committee members, Drs. Binford and Smith, whose excellent teaching and sound advice translated to success in the field and whose criticism greatly strengthened the final product. -

Green Retrofit of Existing Non-Domestic Buildings As a Multi Criteria Decision Making Process
Green retrofit of existing non-domestic buildings as a multi criteria decision making process by Jin Si Institute of Environmental Design and Engineering University College London Primary Supervisor: Dr Ljiljana Marjanovic-Halburd, IEDE Secondary Supervisor: Dr Sarah Bell, CEGE A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University College London 2017 Abstract With increased awareness of natural resources depletion, environmental pollution and social issues, the importance of sustainable development has been emphasised. Sustainable development is accepted as a guiding principle to reconcile economic development with limited natural resources and the dangers of environmental degradation. The building industry is a vital element of any economy and can have a significant impact on the environment. By virtue of the large size of existing buildings, green retrofit of existing buildings is an effective approach to improve building sustainability and energy performance. Unlike domestic building retrofit, bound in the research, non-domestic building retrofit lacks a sufficient research and requires a further investigation. Green retrofit of existing buildings is a complex decision making process. With the rise of sustainability agenda in the building sector, it is essential for decision makers to consider sustainability criteria, which address environmental, economic and social performance. Due to the intrinsic characteristic of existing buildings, technical challenges can emerge when integrating green technologies or measures. The qualitative and quantitative nature of these multiple criteria can increase the complexity of the decision making process. In addition, the decision making process may involve stakeholders from varying backgrounds. The conflicting perspectives can be the main barrier in the decision making of green retrofits. -

Climate Change, Buildings, and the Passive House Standard
Weathering the Storm: Climate Change, Buildings, and the Passive House Standard Jennifer Hogan, RRO, CET, Certified Passive House Consultant, LEED AP Pretium Engineering 4903 Thomas Alton Blvd., Suite 201, Burlington, ON L7M 0W8 Phone: 905-333-6550 • E-mail: [email protected] R C I I NTE R NAT I ONAL C ONVENT I ON AND T R ADE S HOW • M A rc H 14-19, 2019 H OGAN • 2 1 1 Abstract The climate data are clear: climate change is happening. As the severity and frequency of storms and other extreme weather events increase, it becomes more and more critical that we achieve the targets set out in the Paris Agreement. While limiting our global temperature rise to 2°C (3.6°F) may seem like an easy target, how we design, construct, and operate buildings will need to change dramatically. There are many sustainable building initiatives/programs, but Passive House is the most rigorous voluntary energy-based standard in the design and construction industry today. Passive House buildings: • Achieve up to a 90% reduction in energy required for space heating and cooling • Maintain a habitable interior temperature for weeks without power • Have excellent indoor environmental quality • Allow design flexibility Through the course of this paper, actual project examples will be used to reinforce each of the five key principles of the Passive House standard and how quality assurance is car- ried out for each: • Low U-value and continuous insulation • Continuous air barrier layer • Elimination of thermal bridges • Use of high-performance glazing • Optimization of mechanical ventilation with heat recovery We will conclude with a discussion on how the standard is being implemented in codes and standards at the local level using the Toronto Green Standard as an example, and dis- cuss the potential impact of widespread adoption of the standard. -
SUSTAINABILITY GUIDE for HISTORIC and OLDER HOMES Abigail Ahern PROJECT DESCRIPTION
CONCORD’S SUSTAINABILITY GUIDE FOR HISTORIC AND OLDER HOMES Abigail Ahern PROJECT DESCRIPTION The UNH Sustainability Institute Fellowship pairs students from across the United States with municipal, educational, corporate, and non-profit partners in New England to work on transformative sustainability initiatives each summer. Sustainability Fellows undertake challenging projects that are designed to create an immediate impact, offer a quality learning experience, and foster meaningful collaboration. Fellows work with their mentors at partner organizations during the summer, supported by a network of Fellows, partners, alumni, and the UNH Team. This summer, Abigail Ahern was chosen to work with the Town of Concord to develop a set of guidelines for historic homeowners interested in retrofitting their historic or older homes to become more sustainable. Concord has long been committed to sustainability and has a goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050. About 30% of community wide greenhouse emissions in Concord come from residential homes. Achieving Concord’s 80% greenhouse gas reduction goal will require retrofitting the existing housing stock, much of which is located within an historic district or is subject to a Demolition Review bylaw, approximately 1,260 homes (14% of total buildings), to be more energy efficient and carbon-free. Retrofitting historic buildings located in a designated Historic District presents unique challenges because replacing inefficient windows and/or installing rooftop solar panels requires approval by the Historic Districts Commission (HDC) and may be of concern to members of the HDC when such work changes the look or character of the building. Additionally, owners of older houses that are subject to the Demolition Review bylaw may believe that retrofitting their home may be cost prohibitive or less efficient than tearing down and building new. -
Savoy and Regent Label Discography
Discography of the Savoy/Regent and Associated Labels Savoy was formed in Newark New Jersey in 1942 by Herman Lubinsky and Fred Mendelsohn. Lubinsky acquired Mendelsohn’s interest in June 1949. Mendelsohn continued as producer for years afterward. Savoy recorded jazz, R&B, blues, gospel and classical. The head of sales was Hy Siegel. Production was by Ralph Bass, Ozzie Cadena, Leroy Kirkland, Lee Magid, Fred Mendelsohn, Teddy Reig and Gus Statiras. The subsidiary Regent was extablished in 1948. Regent recorded the same types of music that Savoy did but later in its operation it became Savoy’s budget label. The Gospel label was formed in Newark NJ in 1958 and recorded and released gospel music. The Sharp label was formed in Newark NJ in 1959 and released R&B and gospel music. The Dee Gee label was started in Detroit Michigan in 1951 by Dizzy Gillespie and Divid Usher. Dee Gee recorded jazz, R&B, and popular music. The label was acquired by Savoy records in the late 1950’s and moved to Newark NJ. The Signal label was formed in 1956 by Jules Colomby, Harold Goldberg and Don Schlitten in New York City. The label recorded jazz and was acquired by Savoy in the late 1950’s. There were no releases on Signal after being bought by Savoy. The Savoy and associated label discography was compiled using our record collections, Schwann Catalogs from 1949 to 1982, a Phono-Log from 1963. Some album numbers and all unissued album information is from “The Savoy Label Discography” by Michel Ruppli. -
