After 2 years of fitting studies in around a full time job, in Norwich and then in Belgium, I have finally written the thesis and passed my Masters degree.
Apart from spending many glorious weeks at the Graduate School of the Environment at the
Centre for Alternative Technology in mid-Wales, this course has also led to my giving talks to the Norfolk and Suffolk fire services on photovoltaic electrical fire safety; going self-employed; meeting
Kevin McCloud of Grand Designs; working with Rowland Keeble of
Rammed Earth Consulting; swimming in quarries in January and camping in sand dunes in July.
My thesis, titled
'Hot Property: A feasibility study into the use of air conditioning condensate as irrigation for promoting biodiverse green roofs on commercial buildings in hot arid climates' gained a distinction grade and is in the process of being turned into a publishable article.
