@SofiePelsmakers @saljwilson @SofiePelsmakers et al, what a task, what an achievement, RESPECT! @firstplanit we need a copy of this book to compare notes with Sofie et al's approaches. GreenBuildingCalculator may be able to engage with this books content.

@GBEGreenBuild Brilliant! feedback always welcome! It was one of the most obvious books to write yet also the hardest for me given we map knowledge and actions against the design process (i.e. what to do and what we need to know, when)! @saljwilson

I am told it is out and in the warehouse since today!

What, no longer allowed an opinion? Not allowed to voice it? Sack them all! You sound like Putin and Priti

@tcmurray Next it will become part of Government Procurement and driven into BIM

@tcmurray An opportunity for error, and opportunity to cheat

@tcmurray NASA made a big mistake using both imperial and metric in their number crunching. Never again everything is now metric because it's easy.

@tcmurray Utter madness, I warned this might happen when I started creating GreenBuildingCalculator.uk

@tcmurray Quote from consultation: "..its part of our history.."

@tcmurray 4 Policing retailers to check if they have shown imperialist logo and imperialist measurements Police having to respond to imperialist public objections to retailers not being imperialists Another reason for racists to pick on non imperialist retailers?

@tcmurray 4 Another job creation scheme. Rewriting all the legislation to include imperial measurement What a waste of taxpayers money. we have a climate emergency that needs government attention

@tcmurray 3d have you experienced imperialism? Pre-metrication

@tcmurray 3cii Imperial first metric second metric smaller? two font sizes in my shelf front display information, more expense for struggling Micro SME retailers

@tcmurray 3ci Don't the youth have enough to contend with (Bullying, anti-social magazines, anti-social media, mental stress, inept Government's response to climate emergency) without having to learn an ancient imperialist measurement system.

@tcmurray 3ci I will have to carry a conversion table with me everywhere Somebody will make an app for the majority the rest of us who have grown up with metric

@tcmurray 3ci More imperialists will buy from imperialist retailers Will retailers flash the imperialist logo on their shop front? I will choose not to use these stores (unless dictator Boris says I have no choice)

@tcmurray 3b would you by from imperialists? Absolutely not I buy products for their properties, characteristics and their size. I am only interested in metric measurement because everything else I do is in metric.

@tcmurray More packaging waste to add to the mountains of waste More medical mistakes caused by small print

@tcmurray 3a As if the public can afford this kind of overhead on the goods they purchase. Packaging will have to increase in size to get the imperial information on or the font size will have to shrink so it is even more difficult to read the instructions.

@tcmurray 3a Now every manufacturer in the country Big, SME and microSME has to employ an imperialist to convert all their information back to imperial. Utter madness. As if we have not got anything better to do.

@tcmurray 2 I would not do it. Imperialists wanting imperial complaining that I was not showing imperial and taking me to court for not displaying it Have not got the time or money to play silly games labelling everything twice just for the old folk and imperialists.
