Directiva Europeană privind Performanța Energetică a Clădirilor (EPBD4) a fost revizuită de UE. Ea trebuie acum transpusă în legislațiile naționale, până în mai 2026. O discuție la emisiunea Planeta Verde despre eficiența energetică a clădirilor. Invitat la RFI este președintele Ordinului Auditorilor Energetici din România, Cătălin Lungu. Ce prevede Directiva Europeană privind Performanța Energetică a Clădirilor? Până când trebuie realizată transpunerea documentului? ”Directiva pentru Performanța Energetică a Clădirilor este de fapt o revizuire a unei forme a Directivei mai vechi și include mult mai multe prevederi decât versiunea anterioară. Spre exemplu, obligativitatea întocmirii certificatelor de performanță energetică. De asemenea, este menționată importanța renovării clădirilor și mai mult decât atâta, este adusă pentru prima oară în vederea specialiștilor partea de evaluare a emisiilor de CO2, atât cele care se referă la funcționarea clădirii, adică de exemplu, emisiile de carbon alocate pentru energia consumată de clădiri, dar și emisiile înglobate în materialele de construcție și echipamentele de instalații”, explică expertul. Ce este Certificatul de Performanță Energetică, ce informații trebuie să conțină, cine îl cere, cine îl acordă și cum se obține? Ce presupune Auditul Energetic, de ce este important și cine îl face? Ce este certificatul nZEB? Care sunt obligațiile europene în materie de ”nearly zero energy building” (clădiri cu consum de energie aproape de zero)? Cum se obține certificatul nZEB? Ce este sărăcia energetică și cum pot combate certificatele de mai sus acest fenomen?

Kerfisbundin, markviss rannsókn á samanburði á áhrifum teikningar og skrifaðra orða á minni var framkvæmd í fyrsta sinn, eftir því sem best er vitað, í heiminum árið 2000 og stóð Unnur Óttarsdóttir, doktor í Listmeðferðarfræði, fyrir henni. Í stuttu máli voru niðurstöður þær að níu vikum seinna mundu börnin að jafnaði fimm sinnum fleiri teikningar en orð sem þau höfðu skrifað. Þetta kallast minnisteikning. Nú í maí hélt Unnur námskeið á Ítaliu fyrir listmeðferðarfræðinga sem starfa í skólum. Málefnin sem voru þar á dagskrá voru til dæmis minnisteikning, skrifmyndir, mikilvægi listrænnar tjáningar í námi og einnig var henni boðið að flytja fyrirlestur þar. Unnur kom í þáttinn í dag. Eins og flesta mánudaga fengum við svo vinkil frá Guðjóni Helga Ólafssyni, skúffuskáldi og þjóðfræðiáhugamanni úr Flóanum. Í þetta sinn lagði Guðjón vinkilinn að sjálfum Vatnajökli. Svo er það lesandi vikunnar. Í þetta sinn var það Pedro Gunnlaugur Garcia rithöfundur. Hann skaust fram á sjónvarsviðið með fyrstu bók sinni Málleysingjarnir árið 2019 og hlaut svo íslensku bókmenntaverðlaunin fyrir sína aðra bók, Lungu, sem kom út í fyrra. Við fengum að vita hvað hann hefur verið að lesa undanfarið og hvaða bækur og höfundar hafa haft mest áhrif á hann í gegnum tíðina. Pedro Gunnlaugur nefndi eftirfarandi bækur: Jerúsalem e. Goncalo M.

This is episode 30 and we're covering the mid-18th Century, including tales of shipwrecked sailors, the art of making amasi and dealing with the amatakati or witches. We've heard much about the developments in the north of the Cape, the bokkeveld and the Roodezand up to 1740. Now we'll swing our gaze to observe what was going on at the same time in the Eastern Cape frontier. It's vaguely defined at least at this time as the area lying east of the Gamtoos River. This is important because its here that black South Africans speaking a Bantu language first encountered white settlers as distinct from traders or even missionaries. The Nguni people however had a much longer connection with Europeans. Survivors of shipwrecks starting around 1554 lived amongst the Xhosa until they met survivors from other wrecks or from expeditions sent to find them. Many of these former sailors refused to return home. They were living as Thembu or Xhosa and had found the lifestyle to their liking. For example in 1705 an expedition sent to Natal to look for timber found an Englishman living with African wives there who was so well satisfied that two of the crew actually deserted to join him instead of the other way around. Two other men who survived from an early 18th Century wreck on the Mpondo Coast became progenitors of the clan still known as the Lungu – short for Abelungu in other words, the white clan. A girl wrecked with them later married Mpondo chief Xwabiso. Her daughter in turn was met by explorer Jacob van Reenen in 1790. By then she was an old woman. But she wasn't the only European woman who'd been saved by locals as we'll hear. And if you consider the statistics regarding shipwrecks off the South African coast as a whole you'll begin to understand how these first contacts between Nguni and European developed.

A knife edge contest was predicted. Instead opposition candidate Hakainde Hichilema won a landslide victory and his UPND party won a parliamentary majority, reversing Zambia's course towards authoritarianism. We dive into the main issues of the campaign and Zambia's history of alternating democratisation and authoritarianisation.
