#Smart low-carbon Solcer House generates more electricity that it uses A Welsh university claims to have built the UK first low-cost, low-carbon, energy-positive house.

The Solcer House was built by Cardiff University Solcer Project, part of the LCRI Program (Low Carbon Research Institute.

The house is located in Pyle near Bridgend and follows the"Buildings as Power stations"concept developed by the SPECIFIC Innovation and Knowledge Centre.

Energy-positive status is achieved by way of reduced energy demand, renewable energy supply and storing energy for later use.

Low-carbon cement was used for the construction of the Solcer House. To reduce its demand for energy

the house has high levels of thermal insulation, structural insulated panels (SIPS), external insulation and low-emissivity double-glazed aluminum-clad timber frame windows and doors.

These comprise a perforated skin on the exterior of the house that draws air into the cavity

It is drawn then into the house as a low-cost means of heating via ventilation. Electricity is generated by way of a 4. 3 kwp glazed photovoltaic solar panel array.

This is fully integrated into the south-facing roof of the house eliminating the need to have bolted it on.

Energy that is not immediately required is stored in the house's 6. 9-kwh battery. Electricity generated and stored is used to power the heating, ventilation, hot water system and household appliances.

The Solcer House took 16 weeks to build and was completed in February this year. The video below shows the construction of the Solcer House e

#New Invention Bears the Brunt of Earthquakes By Using Good Vibrations Older buildings may get a new lease on life thanks to a new invention that lets them shake off the effects of an earthquake.

Much of the worst quake damage and injuries in recent years result from older buildings collapsinghat because modern buildings in earthquake zones are designed with devices called dampers or isolation units,

which allow the buildings to sway on springs or slide on skids during earthquakes. It impossible to retrofit old buildings with much of that technology,

but a new form of protection may be on the way. Girls from Nepal Group Home Jump into Action Providing Earthquake Relief Researchers at the University of Brighton in the UK have come up with a ibrating barrier (Viba) that absorbs the energy from an earthquake

and protects older buildings. The device is a solid weight balanced on a series of springs.

When the ground motion from a quake hits the building, the energy passes through the foundation to the Viba instead of into the structure itself.
