20120404_IMG_3981.jpg The Hyning in Grayrigg near Kendal Cumbria, UK is an old farmhouse and barns that is being converted into 8 holiday letting properties. The development is being finished to the highest environmental standards. The finished property will be of Passivhaus standard, super insulated with many renewable features. A ground source heat pump will provide heating for the properties with solar panels providing the power to operate the heat pump. All windows are tripled glazed. The property will harvest grey water for toilet flushing. The waste water goes through a series of bio digestors that purify the water to a standard where it can be fed straight back into an adjacent stream.

20120306_IMG_2433.jpg 3 wind turbines being constructed behind the kirkstone Pass Inn on kirkstone Pass in the Lake District, UK. Because of its remote location, the pub is not connected to the grid and currently spends £25,000 a year on a diesel generator. The wind turbines will vastly reduce the need for the generator and are the first wind turbines to get planning permission in the National Park. This shot shows the commissioning electrician testing the gap on the pitch for the rotor blades using feeler guages to balance the blades.

IMG_3009_gap.jpg Construction work on fitting two archimedes screws on a new hydro electric project on the River Leven, at Low Wood near Haverthwaite, Cumbria, UK. When operational they will generate over 400 Kw of green electricity. When operational they will be the largest archimedes screws in the UK. The project uses the old mill race that used to power the gunpowder factory. Heat generated by the turbines, that is usually lost to the atmosphere is going to be pumped directly into a nearby office building. At times when the hydro is not working the offices will be heated by 4 air source heat pumps.

IMG_6173_crevasse.jpg A twenty ton ice explorer truck owned and run by Arngrimur Hermannsson ( Arni). He uses the truck to take tourists onto the Langjokull ice cap. Like all Icelands glaciers it is melting rapidly and predicted to disappear within 100 years. As Arni says, every time I come up hear, the glacier has retreated a bit further.

366W0036.jpg For the Inuit residents of Shishmaref, a tiny island between Alaska and siberia, global warming is a double whammy. Firstly sea ice that used to envelop the island around late September is now not forming until December. this leaves the island vulnerable to storms that have already washed 10 houses into the sea, leading to them being referred to as the worlds first refugees from global warming. Other houses have had to be moved back from the edge. Secondly the animals they rely on as part of their subsistance existance are becoming harder to find, as they migrate further north, away from the island. Makeshift coastal defences on Shishmaref
