A Review Of Fiscal Measures To Benefit Heritage Conservation, Tracy Pickerill, Rob Pickard Jul 2007

A Review Of Fiscal Measures To Benefit Heritage Conservation, Tracy Pickerill, Rob Pickard

Articles

This research paper explores to use of fiscal incentives for heritage conservation in a range of countries in Western Europe (Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom) and North America (Canada and USA), to see how they are used and how effective they are.

The main incentives are:

  • Income tax deductions and credits for costs incurred in heritage conservation activity;
  • Income tax credits for the provision of social housing in heritage buildings;
  • Property tax exemption, abatement or freeze for heritage buildings;
  • Value added (sales) tax concessions or rebates relating to heritage conservation activity;
  • Use of …

The Purpose Built Post Office Buildings Of The Office Of Public Works In Leinster From 1870 To 1947, Maire Crean Mar 2007

The Purpose Built Post Office Buildings Of The Office Of Public Works In Leinster From 1870 To 1947, Maire Crean

Other resources

The purpose of this thesis is to establish a record, within Leinster, of the extant and the extinct post office buildings, built between 1854 and 1947, both those presently in use as post offices and those now used for other purposes.

No research has been carried out on this group of buildings to date.

This group of buildings, consisting of an over sixty, mainly small, modest buildings will be threatened as a typology if they are sold off by An Post.

Many of these buildings are not listed in the various county Records of Protected Structures.

This body of work …

Thermal Effectiveness Characteristics Of Low Approach Indirect Evaporative Cooling Systems In Buildings, Ben Costelloe, Donal Finn Jan 2007

Thermal Effectiveness Characteristics Of Low Approach Indirect Evaporative Cooling Systems In Buildings, Ben Costelloe, Donal Finn

Articles

Meteorological enthalpy analysis of temperate and maritime climates above latitude 45°N suggests that the water-side evaporative cooling technique has considerable unrealised potential with contemporary “high temperature” building cooling systems—such as chilled ceilings and displacement ventilation. As low approach conditions are the key to exploiting the cooling potential of the ambient air, thermal performance at such conditions needs to be investigated. To address the research issues, an industrial scale test rig, based on a low approach open cooling tower and plate heat exchanger and designed to maximise evaporative cooling potential, has been constructed. The thermal effectiveness of such systems (as a …

The Regenerative Rebuilding Strategy For Sustainable Coastal Communities. An Architectural Thesis And Case Study Of Rebuilding Post-Tsunami Sri Lanka., Kristina Iverson, Shannon Chance

Conference papers

Developments are occurring at a rapid pace along coastlines all over the world. In fact a full two-thirds of the world’s population, or 4 billion people, live within 250 miles of a coast1. In the United States architects have recognized the negative effects of existing building practices on beaches. In fact, designers have eagerly adopted methods of “sustainable design” to band-aid the problem. While seemingly an improvement upon past building practices, current movements in sustainable design focus on slowing down the degradation to the beach environment instead of encouraging healing practices. If we are to sustain the existence of both …
