Earliest Green Roof in Ireland?

First GreenRoof

Newgrange (3200 bc)

Yes, this is probably the first green roof in Ireland, and quite a big one given the lack of elbow room down in the corridor.

This is also the very first post in our blog and the right place to introduce TEPUI to all of you, eco-minded people.

We are a small start up devoted to sustainability consultancy, project management and training for all kind of organisations (big, small, public and private).

Our name, TEPUI, is actually another kind of green roof... well, it is actually a table-like mountain with a full ecosystem on its top.

And why so many green roofs in a single post? Is TEPUI a distributor? No, we are not (I already said what we are), but these Sky Gardens are one of the Living Technologies that we want to promote in Ireland and Europe.

If we achive our goal, Newgrange will become the first of many more green roofs, and this will become the first of many more blog posts.

The way that this looks reminds me of the tellatubbies. I am currious as to how they built this... is it dug underground and how deep does it go?

 Visiting some the ancient

 

Visiting some the ancient monuments in the Boyne Valley is a must for every visitor to Ireland. But nowhere can the past be experienced as impressively as within the central chamber of Newgrange. The Brú na Boinne (pronounced "broo-na-boyne") site is well managed and tours will provide an educational and above all unique experience. This is one of the places in Ireland that will take your breath away simply by being there. Even on a tight budget the tours should not be missed.fire pits cast iron

This post is really

This post is really interesting to me due to the fact that I live in Kansas and I've several different styles of "green roofs" within the state at different locations. These roofs definently have an advantage for not only going green but the insulation value for Kansas weather is a plus. Thanks for posting and looking forward to some more.

Why aren't more Data Centres

Why aren't more Data Centres and similar high energy usage buildings located in cold climates where they can use natural ventilation for cooling? Data Centres are major power users with considerable carbon footprints. Such huge clusters of servers not only require power to run but also power to be cooled. It’s estimated that Data Centres, which house internet, business and telecommunications systems and store the bulk of our data, consume close to 4 percent of the worlds power supply. see http://www.datacentredesign.co
The current volume estimate of all electronic information is roughly 1.2 zettabytes, the amount of data that would be generated by every person in the world posting messages on Twitter continuously for a century. More stunning: 75 percent of the information is duplicative. By 2020, experts estimate that the volume will be 40 times greater than it was in 2010.
Yahoo's computer centre in New York uses natural ventilation to reduce cooling energy. It uses a "chicken coop" design providing a natural chimney. Each 120-foot by 60-foot coop module has louvers along the side of the building that allow fresh air to enter into the data centre. In the computer servers area, the fresh air enters the front of the servers, and then exits into a contained hot aisle, which is topped by a chimney that leads into the upper chamber of the coop. Depending on winter or summer conditions, the warm air can either be recirculated or vented through the cupola.
