Sharing extensive new evidence and cutting-edge research that the Great Pyramid at Giza was built as an energy-harvesting machine, Christopher Dunn details how the ancient Egyptians were generating clean power for their civilization and reveals how the pyramid builders and the great inventor Nikola Tesla were drawing from the same universal knowledge.

Looking at each part of the Great Pyramid, from the internal chambers to its massive stone blocks to the pyramidion on top, Dunn reveals how the pyramids in Egypt served to stimulate the release and collection of electrons in the Earth’s crust by harmonizing seismic energy while also attenuating the accumulating stresses. Drawing on exhaustive ongoing research by NASA scientists into the phenomenon known as “earthquake lights,” the author shows how the pyramid builders were inspired by this phenomenon and learned to stress igneous rocks similar to tectonic plate movement in order to harvest the resulting electron flow, which also enabled the pyramids to mitigate any impending earthquakes. He looks in depth at recent research that supports the pyramid energy theory, including new explorations of the shafts of the Queen’s Chamber, Russian research on how the Great Pyramid can concentrate electromagnetic energy, and analysis of the scorch marks on the ceiling of the Grand Gallery, which supports the King’s Chamber explosion hypothesis. He also examines the stunning significance of the large void above the Grand Gallery discovered in 2017.

Analyzing the results of extensive acoustic testing and measurements related to specific frequencies within the Great Pyramid, Dunn looks at the vibration and frequency rates found at ancient sacred sites and shows how the pyramids were tuned to the Earth’s frequency. He also includes multiple technical appendices written by experts.

While the pyramids’ sophisticated energy-harvesting abilities are now in disarray and disuse, some remnants of their technologies are still there, waiting to be rediscovered and provide our civilization with an abundance of non-polluting power.

Look around, and it is clear that we now live in an increasingly digital world. Everywhere we turn, we hear talk of Future Cities, Smart Technology, Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, and Generative AI. Technology and digital solutions are here and growing, with the social, educational, health, and business value of technology unquestionable. But behind the scenes, this growth has a carbon cost that has remained invisible to most of us.

The time has come to start focusing on on reducing the energy consumption of digital and the technological infrastructures, which underpin nearly all of our daily activities. Having spent the last two years engaging with some of the world’s leading cloud service providers, software companies, digital leaders, technology consultancies, and system integrators, I am now of the firm belief that we have an opportunity that could propel the technology sector to the forefront of decarbonisation .

The book is organised into five major parts covering:

1. A Foundation section providing an overview of climate change and the impact of digital
2. A more detailed Sustainable Software Engineering principles and practices section aimed at providing an in-depth view of the techniques that can be used to deliver greener software products
3. An introduction to Green Design to help guide the sustainability of digital products and services even before coding commences
4. A Sustainable IT for Technology Leaders section to help readers shape a sustainable IT strategy and consider the process and technology elements needed to be successful
5. A People and Culture section to help you consider the importance of building capability, the challenges of eco-anxiety and organisation structure to deliver a Sustainable IT Strategy

Whether you are a software engineer, a designer, an IT leader or manager, we will provide you with practical examples and online self-assessments to help you evaluate your own level of understanding and readiness to take action.

We are now able to hold up a mirror, and what we all need is for you to gaze in it and seize the opportunity to create an even better, faster, more efficient, and planet-friendly version of your incredible digital solutions.

The technology industry is filled with some of the brightest individuals in the world. We are a group of doers, and uniquely capable due to our inventiveness, innovation mindset, and pure determination to solve problems. We must abandon the notion that taking action will necessitate slowing things down or regressing to a less polluting version of the past. In our digital world, we must be progressive in our actions and utilise technological advancements to create the efficiencies required to support the development of digital. But we must recognise that we can only satisfy the technological demands of societies and businesses if we base this expansion on a more sustainable IT industry.

In our digital world we must move forward, our actions be progressive, and able to utilise the advancements in technology to create the efficiencies needed to support the growth of digital.

This new, revised edition of Approved Document B incorporates the June 2022 amendment booklet which takes effect on 1st December 2022.

Approved Document B of the Building Regulations covers fire safety matters within and around buildings. Published in two volumes, Volume 1 deals solely with dwellings, including locks of flats, while this volume – Volume 2 – deals with all other types of building cover by the Building Regulations.

The aim of each volume is to set out the guidelines that need to be followed in order to prevent the spread of fire over linings, such as walls and ceilings. Each volume also states what materials can be used and what British Standards each should conform to, to ensure that they provide the required level of protection.

Main changes made by the 2022 amendments

The changes focus on the following fire safety provisions:

a.      Ban of combustible materials in and on the external walls of buildings: Consequential amendments following the laying of the Building (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2022. Updated provisions in Section 12 for residential buildings (purpose groups 1 and 2) with a storey 11m or more in height.
