26. Environmental Policy:

1. ISO14001 is the Environmental Policy that applies to all data centers, offices and other buildings. To evolve all buildings towards a zero carbon footprint with excessive insulation and adequate power generation.

2. To embrace an environmental policy that brings together many associated policies in a coordinated and integrated way.

2. Electric Policy:

1. To generate electricity by solar and wind and tend towards becoming self-sufficient with very low dependencies on other sources of power.

2. To evolve all electric equipment to become re-chargable battery powered - low voltage so 230 volt AC becomes obsolete.

3. To ensure that re-chargable batteries are charged by solar and cheap night time electricity.

4. To embrace 12 volt LED lighting that is battery powered.

3. Gas Policy:

1. To understand that gas hobs have been outlawed from 2025 because they cause pollution inside the building - water vapour is generated that feeds bacterial and mould that has spores the cause respiratory diseases. To accept that burning gas in the building is no longer acceptable to people and the planet.

2. To understand that gas boilers will become outlawed because they generate poisonous gasses that kill people and will kill the planet. To replace gas boilers with electric air pumps that can extract geothermal heat from the ground - air pumps that can become both heating and cooling devices for the building.

3. To accept that domestic gas, just like coal will become obsolete within a generation. To embrace the end of the national gas grid and a great new business opportunity to provide alternative services.

4. Air Purity Policy:

1. To do whatever it takes to create a building with clean pure air that has had pollution filtered out so people do not die from breathing polluted air.

2. To re-engineer the building to make it a sealed container where air filters can remove toxins in the atmosphere - just like most cars have passenger air and pollen filters.

3. To monitor how very large numbers of poor people (especially children) dies from breathing polluted air while rich people are able to clean breath filtered air. 100 people die in London each day from lung infections caused by years of pollution.

4. To monitor how people and their children who enjoy outdoor living with a barbecue will be the first to shorten their lives with respiratory diseases caused by invisible toxins.

5. To ensure that windows do not open except in an emergency because an open window will cause polluted air get into the building.

6. To embrace air purity as a new business opportunity where rich people will pay to have their building made safe to breath.

5. Air Conditioning Policy:

1. To accept global warming and embrace air conditioning in the building just like every car.

2. To provide both hot and cold systems that can maintain a temperature in the building of 18 to 28 degrees, no matter what happens outside - excessive capacity is good.

3. To monitor how poor people ides when it gets too hot and die when it gets too cold while rich people live in the Goldilocks temperature range.

6. Insulation Policy:

1. To provide excessive amounts of heat and sound insulation in the building to keep the inside temperature independent of the external temperature.

2. To embrace 150 mm triple glassing to reduce noise pollution.

3. To deploy at least a two door air lock between inside and outside so internal air is not polluted by external air.

7. Local Food Policy:

1. To assist in the development of local food factories that manufacture food on a just-in-time principal to be shipped to the building with minimum cost.

2. To accept that growing food in a field is obsolete because the weather cannot be controlled, bird contamination cannot be controlled and water use is excessive.

3. To embrace the growth of locally grown fish in a factory while watching a reduction in the use of meat.

4. To become almost self sufficient in locally grown food. To bartar exchange with others with excess food to vary what can be consumed.

8. Services Policy:

1. To understand that the retail era has been replaced by the services era.

2. To embrace the provision of a monthly service rather than sell a product.

3. To accept that all products will become a service - buying becomes renting.

4. To explore new business opportunities based on barter exchange of services without monitary value that can be taxed or regulated.

9. Housing Policy:

1. To understand that many millions of householders will do what it takes to prevent a glut of new buildings coming onto the market that would reduce the value of their buildings.

2. To accept that buildings have such high valuations only because they are in such short supply and not because of the capital cost of building.

3. To say that the housing crisis needs to be fixed and then make it too complicated, too restrictive and to delay any ideas that could make a difference. Rich people have a building and do not need another. Poor people do not have a building and cannot afford to build one. House building rules and regulations are designed to make it virtually impossible for a poor person to build their own building.

4. To investigate the cost benefits of living and working in safe underground buildings that are less impacted by global warming and extreme weather events - if it cannot be seen on Google maps, then it cannot be taxed.

10. Political Policy:

1. To fully embrace politics and fully support all parties in all countries at all times. To accept that as a multi-national corporation, sovereignty and national movements tend to have little significance.

2. To imagine that all politicians are good people who want to make things better and to make sure that rules and regulations are deployed to make sure that 99% of what the politician wants to do cannot be done.

3. To discover more complicated ways to remove power from elected representatives so they are not able to make any significant change to what is created by new technology - technology is the only way that change can be deployed.

4. To monitor how politicians promoted the diesel cars by changing tax rules and then discovered that the diesel pollution was many times worst than they had expected.

5. To monitor haw every large government driven project has overspent by at least double because politicians are the least qualified people to run anything.

11. Investment Policy:

1. To recognize that the Government control all money and even insist that a person on benefit can only be paid via a bank account.

2. To watch how governments modify the exchange rate and future bond market to increase and decrease the value of money that people have available to them. To note that when workers get a 3% wage increase, the value of that money is silently devalued by 3% to pay for the wage increase.

3. To embrace the fact that all rich people own companies while poor people to not own their own company - poor people work for rich people to make the rich people richer. Sad but true.

4. To note that every generation of 20 years sees the value of money half - inflation is means that as wages go up by 3% and prices go up 3% then after 20 years the value of money is halved - 100 pound is worth 50 pound.

12. Open Honest and Transparent Policy:

1. To weaponize the Open Honest and Transparent policy so any deviation from normal is rapidly detected and called out.

2. To deploy surveillance to gather evidence that protect the innocent and identify the guilty - specifically the geo-location of each person for every minute of every day - specifically track and trace of each person so no person can have their identity stolen by another.

3. To provide the technology to explain exactly where and what a person was doing at 21:15 hours on 13 Jan 2011 - transparency protects the innocent.

4. To automatically gather evidence of what work is completed as it happens - without the need to manually write it down afterwards.

13. Mobility Policy:

1. To evolve from a car and vehicle policy to a mobility policy founded on UBER.

2. To watch vehicles evolve from diesel to hybrid and from hybrid to electric, but to understand that 50% of all vehicle pollution comes from brakes and tyres.

3. To understand that the vehicle pollution is not solved by designing a better vehicle, but by avoiding the need to invest in vehicles.

4. To provide applications so the physical location of a person reduces in significance - the majority of people will work from home or a location close to home - commuting must be eliminated.

5. To embrace every business opportunity for the supplier to come to the customer, rather than the customer to go shopping for a supplier.

14. Building Policy:

1. To evolve from building constructed with wet materials to factory built rooms that are lifted into place just-in-time.

2. To expect buildings to have a shorter life before they become obsolete and replaced by a more efficient building with more insulation that includes integrated heating and cooling.

3. To expect every roof to be covered in solar tiles that generate the majority of electricity needed to run the building.

4. To install every type of sensor that is possible in all parts of the building so minor issues can be resolved before they become expensive problems.

15. Water Policy:

1. To evolve towards water recycling and rain water capture in the way that most Pacific islands have done for years.

2. To minimise the use of existing sewers and to promote local recycling of soiled water.

3. To capture and store all the rain water falling on a building.

16. Health Care Policy:

1. To evolve buildings to become health and social care assistants - to help people with what they need.

2. To design a more effective toilet that is able to take samples that are analysed for potential diseases - every day a sample is analysed as an early warning system.

3. To design the building with places that will analyse breathing, heart pressure, temperature and other early signs of illness.

4. To evolve cooking to minimise the source of accidents in the kitchen - most kitchen appliances are too dangerous to be used by the elderly, the young or the infirm. To expect a most food to be automatically prepared and cooked upon request.

17. Recycling Policy:

1. To accept that 100% of all goods and packageing that is sold must be recyclable by the business.

2. To provide facilties for goods and packageing to be returned at the end of its natural life cycle - to maintain a block chain of ownership and location.

3. To reject retail and embrace services so no goods or packaging is sold to any customer, but continual services are provided to customers - recycling is a built-in part of the service.

4. To ensure that every supplier is 100% responsible for all goods and packaging sold, even when such goods are more than ten years old.

5. To mirror every assemble line with a dis-assembly line to breakdown goods into their fundamental components that can be reused - virtually nothing goes to landfill.

18. Sliding Door Policy:

1. To accept the business has a duty of care to look after its people who may fall down behind a door - evidence shows that people are more likely collapse in a toilet or bathroom.

2. To ensure that sliding doors are fitted to smaller rooms so they can still be opened in an emergency when a person has falled behind the door - a hinged door cannot be opened when a person is trapped between a hinged door and a toilet.

3. To ensure that inside door locks can be opened from the outside in an emergency - bolts are not suitable.

4. To expect all wardrobes, dressing rooms, pantries and small rooms to be fitted with a voice activated sliding door and lights.

19. Physical Refuge Policy:

1. To understand that every building needs a physical refuge where people can retreat to in an emergency.

2. To expect the physical refuge to have no windows and will have an armoured door - a physical refuge must be underground for secure buildings.

3. To have a air-tight and water-tight room with a 60 minute fire survival capability including its own air supply.

4. To accept that extreme weather storms, fires and floods will become more frequent and the business must do whatever has to be done to protect its people - its cost effective to its survivors.

5. To reject a nuclear fallout shelter as not cost justified because the business and its people will not survive a nuclear war.

20. Hand Rail Policy:

1. To accept the business has a duty of care to assist people who may have a mobility disability that can be made easier with hand rails and large handles.

2. To ensure that sturdy hand rails are fitted whereever they may be needed to safeguard the health and safety of people.

3. To verify that very few steps are needed to travel from one hand rail to the next - hand rails provide a phyological boost to people with mobility disabilities.

4. To accept that gardens are a place where people need mobility aids such as hand rails. To provide a lot of seating for people who need to rest from time to time to enjoy the garden.

21. Water Tap Policy:

1. To accept the business has a duty of care to assist people who may have a hand and grip disability that can be made easier with mixer taps with long handles.

2. To reject the use of separate hot and cold taps as positively dangerous to humans - mixer taps are mandated.

3. To provide long handles on water mixer taps so the water flow can be easilly controlled with a nudge left or right by people who may not be able to grip a handle.

22. Door Handle Policy:

1. To expect doors to become automatic so door handles become obsolete - door handles can become a physical danger to people who may fall against a sharp edge.

2. To reject circular door handles that demand the a person must be able to grip the handle with enough strength make it turn - even a problem with wet hands.

3. To provide long smooth door handles where needed - handles that can be pushed down with an elbow can be of benefit to some people.

4. To minimise the need for internal doors with a layout of left-right turns that avoid the need to install an internal door - no door means no door handle.

5. To provide voice activated doors and lights for small rooms like a dressing room or wardrobe.

22. Garden Policy:

1. To understand that the purpose of the garden continually evolves so no one solution is correct.

2. To accept that chidren must have a place to play, learn, experiment, climb and hide - a childrens garden is not about the foliage its about the equipment installed.

3. To understand that the era of grass must end as grass is not suitable for people with mobility disabilities and is wet and muddy for much of the year.

4. To help the environment, gardens must be engineered in three dimensions to provide foliage, food, recreation and asthetic beauty.

5. To accept that a major function of a garden may be the installation of solar panels to generate free electricity, the installation of air pumps to generate heat and the installation of water storage systems.
