If you\u2019d like more information on any of the topics, please contact me or comment on the post below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Next face-to-face meeting<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Several people offered to host meetings this year. There will probably be the 16:30 start. Our May 9<sup>th<\/sup> meeting will be at Paul\u2019s PassivHaus near Ilsington. Numbers are limited, so let me know if you want to book a place and if you would like a car lift or can offer one (let me know where you are traveling from). Places will be allocated on a first come-first-served basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Transport advice and links<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We discussed whether we should promote links to commercial websites that give verifiable ghg emission information for their service or product. The example we looked at was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetrainline.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Trainline<\/a>.&nbsp; On balance, we concluded that this would not be appropriate within the <a href=\"https:\/\/actionclimateteignbridge.org\/newsite\/page.php\/page\/carbon-calculator?2024-02-09T13:50:18+00:00\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CFT<\/a>, but we may include such links on ACT\u2019s Transport webpage, your views are welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please provide suggestion for sources that allow CFT users to calculate travel distances for public transport (open the help panel to see the links currently provided). Some of the links on the CFT appear not to work! Public transport covers plane, train, boat\/ferry, bus\/coach and any others you can think of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For general advice on transport, see our <a href=\"https:\/\/actionclimateteignbridge.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/ACT-TP-Pack-Transport-v1.2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Resourse Pack to Town\/Parish Councils on that topic<\/a>.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Embodied emissions in the built environment<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The UK Green Building Council is calling on the government to <a href=\"https:\/\/ukgbc.org\/news\/ukgbc-joins-industry-leaders-calling-for-government-to-regulate-embodied-carbon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">regulate embodied carbon<\/a>. This was one of the comments we\u2019d submitted in our response to the Teignbridge Local Plan (LP) consultation. The LP is due to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teignbridge.gov.uk\/planning\/local-plan-examination\/local-plan-examination-introduction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">examined later this year<\/a>.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Residential Battery Guide updated<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve updated the introductory message in our Home Batteries guide to reflect recent findings and comments. See the link towards the bottom of the <a href=\"https:\/\/actionclimateteignbridge.org\/newsite\/page.php\/page\/built-environment?2024-02-09T13:50:18+00:00\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ACT Energy &amp; Built Environment webpage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Case studies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Added a couple of case studies. Both are for PassivHaus, new build and living in one. You can access this from the same place as the Residential Battery. Let me know if you\u2019d like to add any.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Parish wide advice and retrofit in Cornwall<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Forgot to mention this initiative in Soke Climsland. This is similar to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.energysavingdevon.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Devon wide retrofit scheme<\/a>, it includes a simple video.&nbsp; I\u2019d be interested in hearing your views on this approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>AOBs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It appears that some major planning applications in Teignbridge are being approved without appropriate provision of green corridors.&nbsp; ACT\u2019s Wildlife Wardens would normally comment on these, so I\u2019ll check why this apparently did not happen in Dawlish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of remembering Professor Higgs\u2019 work following his passing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/science\/subatomic-particle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here is a link<\/a> to a broad sweep of the Standard Model and those who played a significant part in developing our understanding of the fundamentals of nature itself.&nbsp; You may need a <a href=\"https:\/\/tikz.net\/sm_particles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">diagram of the elementary particles<\/a> to refer to while reading!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ACT is collating a reading list on climate\/ecology for the Newton Abbot library.
