In the following years the cost of photovoltaic (PV) panels fell, [1] and the FIT rates for new installations were reduced in stages until the scheme closed to new applications in 2019. [2] As of 2023, over 14.4 gigawatt (GW) had been installed, a third of which was rooftop solar. [3]
Building codes in the U.S. specify ventilation rates as a minimum of 1 sq ft (0.093 m 2) of opening per 150 sq ft (14 m 2) (1:150) with a ratio of 1:300 in some conditions. [8] Warm air rises, so ceiling insulation is designed to have a higher r-value and the insulation is often installed between the ceiling joists or rafters.
A properly designed and installed extensive green-roof system can cost $108–$248/m 2 ($10–$23/sq ft) while an intensive green roof costs $355–$2,368/m 2 ($33–$220/sq ft) However, since most of the materials used to build the green roof can be salvaged, it is estimated that the cost of replacing a green roof is generally one third of the ...
The map browsing interface, showing thumbnail photos for each completed "geograph". Geograph Britain and Ireland is a web-based project, begun in March 2005, to create a freely accessible archive of geographically located photographs of Great Britain and Ireland. [1]
The area is defined as 'area to mean high water excluding inland water'. [ 2 ] The list consists of 164 non-metropolitan districts , 32 London boroughs , 36 metropolitan boroughs , 62 unitary authorities , and two sui generis authorities (the City of London and the Isles of Scilly ).
A flat roof includes pitches as low as 1 ⁄ 2:12 to 2:12 (1 in 24 to 1 in 6), which are barely capable of properly shedding water. Such low-slope roofs (up to 4:12 (1 in 3)) require special materials and techniques to avoid leaks. [4] Conventional describes pitches from 4:12 (1 in 3) to 9:12 (3 in 4). [4]
Project Sunroof was created by Google engineer Carl Elkin as a 20% time project. While initially launching only in the cities of Boston, San Francisco, and Fresno, [3] the project now displays solar potential for 43 million homes in the US. [4]
the definition follows a ‘bricks and mortar’ approach, with areas defined as built-up land with a minimum area of 20 hectares (200,000 m 2), while settlements within 200 metres of each other are linked. Built-up area sub-divisions are also identified to provide greater detail in the data, especially in the larger conurbations. [1]
