Demolition waste management on the Olympic Park
This report from the Olympic Development Authority considers the lessons learned from the London Olympic Games 2012 construction project. A robust demolition methodology and process was developed which took account of health and safety, sustainability, stringent timescales and immovable programme (affecting time available for reclamation surveys), budget, storage space, and lack of existing buildings designed for deconstruction. This paper evaluates the methods and processes in place to meet the ODA’s key sustainability targets for two key stages: pre-demolition and during demolition.

This note from the House of Commons Library covers the topic of Feed-in Tariffs (FITs) which are part of the Government’s strategy for increasing renewable electricity generation. This is necessary because the UK has an EU target for renewable energy of 15% by 2020, a significant proportion of which is expected to come from electricity. The aim of FITs is to provide a simple system to incentivise small domestic and business renewables. A further note summarises details of Solar PV feed-in tariffs, including the second review of tariffs for solar which is the first part of a comprehensive review of feed-in tariffs to be completed by April 2012.
