[GSBN] Big News!!

[Evgen Shirokov]

Hello to everybody from Belarus/Russia, Congratulations to Code activists.

I'd like to inform SB friends about:
- now we start work with SB eco-village for 150 visitors in Sochi(Russia, sub-tropic wet climate), place for Winter Olimpic Games 2014,
- we finished 0-Energy round SB ecohouse for cold climate( in Belaruchi, near Minsk, Belarus) and test it last 2 years - result is good,
- we finish 10-years test of 2-stories SB house with Russian Sauna (wet and hot) and pool,- all time with warm water in Minsk, , cold climate, winter temperature is up to -36C, result is good,
- we manage construction pull of demo SB houses different types in Russia/Belarus - from Siberia to Black Sea, incl. Moscow, Novosibirsk, Volgograd, Minsk, Gomel, Krasnodar, Sochi  

This year our officials crashed old soviet system of construction codes in Russia and Belarus, and now we can use west adopted Codes - Europe and US, just after translation it in Russian and official registration in Ministry (I think, this is only one good thing we get from WTO and Globalization).
So, it would be nice collect all existing SB Codes/test results -from US, EU/Germany/Danmark, Belarus/Russia and put them on web (Last Straw or others)- for common use.
