Unproductive August blogger

Wow, I didn't write blog in August?!

I was busy, I am busy, and I am going to be busy with real energy efficiency and "green(wash)" work.

What I've done in August:

  • Several BCA Section J DTS (Deemed-to-satisfy) assessment reports.
  • Completion inspection for the first Section J Report I've done. The building is at The Entrance (90 km from where I work)
  • A few JV3 Performance Assessments for some proposed buildings. One of them is a big retail chain with specific alternative solution using PMV/PPD and HSI (Heat Stress Index).
  • A number of NatHERS/BASIX assessments orf residential apartments and houses.
  • I've moved house.
  • I had a friend's family visiting me from HK. (Dr. Square Fong) We are both from the same B.Eng. course. We speak the same "green" language. And it might be alien language to our wives and other people (LOL)!
  • Manage issues with the building of my family's new house. Yet more are still to come!
There are signs that the Australian economy is slowing down. When it appeared I might have a little break in my busy work schedule, suddenly some EE and ESD projects rushed in. The clients just liked to have the job done "Yesterday". (Yes, this is the trend. All jobs are already overdue?!!)

Some reasons (excuses) for the silence in the blogosphere!

Now, need to get on with the JV3 energy simulation which will due tomorrow! I will be late! OH, dun!
