CASBEE
I attended a lecture on CASBEE this month. CASBEE means Comprehensive Assessment System for Building Environmental Efficiency. Because of its heavy consumption of energy, our industry, houses and buildings takes criticism now. We have to improve consumption of energy. The CASBEE seems useful tool to save the environment for future generations. To be honest, I'm studying it now. So I only have a smattering of knowledge about it. Sorry.
This concept has been discussed, made a study in North America and Japan.
So its scientific terms are English. Specialists who lead to this project which the spread of CASBEE seem talk over it only in English. I noticed that they don't have will to translate the scientific terms into Japanese. That’s why the panelist who is a professor of Keio Univ. gave up using Japanese to explain in the end of the lecture.
Actually, we cannot find good translation for the scientific terms. The concept of CASBEE is new and its terms too. I listened to some Japanese translation of the English terms, but they sounded strange. They were words which we don’t use them in our dairy life. Probably, we will be confused, if all of the terms are translated.
I noticed I didn't mind listening to a lecture of Japanese and many English words, or at least I wasn't allergic to English. I'm writing a report of the lecture now and of course, there are many English words in it, but I can enjoy writing.
I'm glad to think that studying English brings a good result.
And
Don't ignore
“the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change”.
