Tauwetter: wer für Dachlawinen haftet

Nachdem V?terchen Frost in den vergangenen Wochen ganz Deutschland in seinen F?ngen hatte und angesichts ausfallender Züge gar von ?sibirischen Temperaturen“ die Rede war, k?nnen sich Teile der Republik inzwischen wieder über Plusgrade freuen. Allerdings erh?hen Regenf?lle das Gewicht der Schneemassen auf den D?chern und bringen gef?hrliche Dachlawinen ins Rutschen. Womit Hausbesitzer bei steigenden Temperaturen rechnen müssen und wie die Haftungssituation für Hausbesitzer aussieht, erl?utert die D.A.S. Rechtsschutzversicherung.

Werden Passanten durch herabfallende Schnee- oder Eisklumpen verletzt, ist der Hauseigentümer in der Pflicht: Er muss für Sachsch?den und Personensch?den haften, sofern er seine Verkehrssicherungspflicht verletzt hat. Im Einzelfall kann aber auch der Mieter des Geb?udes zur Verantwortung gezogen werden, wenn die Verkehrssicherungspflicht im Mietvertrag auf ihn übertragen wurde. In Gebieten, die erfahrungsgem?? von st?rkerem Schneefall betroffen sind und in denen gewohnheitsm??ig mit Dachlawinen zu rechnen ist, k?nnen dabei bestimmte Sicherheitsma?nahmen vorgeschrieben sein.

Weitere Informationen zu rechtlichen Fragen unter www.das-rechtsportal.de.


Wird ein parkendes Auto von einer Dachlawine besch?digt, haftet der Hauseigentümer nur dann für den Schaden, wenn er seine Verkehrssicherungspflicht verletzt hat. Auch der Autohalter tr?gt n?mlich eine gewisse Mitverantwortung, da er bei widrigen Wetterverh?ltnissen für den Schutz seines Fahrzeuges zu sorgen hat. ?Wer bei anhaltendem Schneefall sein Auto in der N?he eines Hauses parkt, muss sich der m?glichen Gefahr durch Dachlawinen bewusst sein“, so Anne Kronzucker.

Eis und Schnee: Gef?hrliche Kombination auf dem Dach

Für Hausbesitzer bedeutet dies, Schneefanggitter oder Schneestopper am Dach anbringen zu lassen. Dies empfiehlt sich vor allem bei H?usern mit st?rkerer Dachneigung. ?Besteht die akute Gefahr, dass eine Dachlawine über einer ?ffentlichen Stra?e abgeht, sollte der Hausbesitzer Warnschilder und Stangen an der Hausfassade aufstellen, um den Gehweg freizuhalten“, lautet der Rat von Anne Kronzucker, Rechtsexpertin der D.A.S.

Wenn das Dach versinkt…

Um bei besonders starken Schneef?llen auf Nummer sicher zu gehen, k?nnen noch drastischere Ma?nahmen empfehlenswert sein. Freilich kann von Hausbesitzern nicht verlangt werden, dass sie jeden Tag aufs Dach klettern und dort den Schnee wegfegen. Aber sie müssen nach heftigen Schneef?llen oder bei pl?tzlichem Tauwetter das Dach überprüfen. Bei Schneebergen, die sich nicht entfernen lassen, müssen gut sichtbare Warnschilder auf die m?gliche Gefahr aufmerksam machen. Autofahrer und Fu?g?nger sollten derartige Hinweise unbedingt beachten.

zjzc Cisco- Smart grid will eclipse size of Intern

April 1, 2010 at 1:46 pm • Posted in bootsNo comments yet



More data

There’s potential for communications gear in “neighborhood-area networks” as well. Using sensors or an embedded router in substation, a local utility could send information on the demand for electricity in real time to power generators. That will allow generators to run more efficiently and incorporate more wind and solar, said Hattar.

Over time, people’s homes will have more sensors in appliances, which will give consumers more detailed usage information to help cut usage and help utilities avoid stressing the grid during peak times, smart-grid advocates say. More sensors also mean that utilities will need to bulk up their data center communications to handle much more data, Hattar said.

Cisco’s move is a sign that the creaky electricity distribution system is poised for a digital upgrade. Other high-tech companies, including IBM, Intel, and several start-ups, are ramping up smart-grid efforts to capitalize on expected investments from utilities and federal governments. Cisco estimates that the communications portion of that build-out is worth $20 billion a year over the next five years.

Cisco’s position is that the communications over the grid should be done using IP (Internet Protocol) in conjunction with existing industry protocols and standards. Not all smart-meter companies use IP to communicate information and the utility and IT industries are still defining a number of different standards.

For example, Cisco could make a home energy controller device or software for its Linksys routers and set-top boxes to give consumers a read-out of how much energy different appliances use.

Many utilities tend to be conservative about investing in IT. Another factor that makes at least some utilities unenthusiastic about smart-grid technology is that many states have regulations structured around power plant investments rather than efficiency-related IT.

Even though Cisco advocates IP, Hattar said that a modernized electricity grid will be separate from the Internet, which she indicated should lessen security vulnerabilities.

Cisco’s smart-grid program covers goods already part of its product portfolio, such as data center equipment. But in other cases, such as home networks and smart-meter security, Cisco is developing new products, said Marie Hattar, vice president of marketing in Cisco’s Network Systems Solutions group.

A "smart grid" infrastructure adds digital communications to the power grid so it can manage the flow of energy to run more efficiently and to incorporate more wind and solar power. Click to enlarge.

Cisco–along with General Electric and SilverSpring Networks–was picked for a large smart-grid project in Miami from Florida Power & Light, which aims to install 1 million two-way utility meters.

The idea of the “smart grid” is to modernize the electricity industry by overlaying digital communications onto the grid. Smart meters in a person’s home, for example, can communicate energy usage to utilities in near real time. That allows the utility to more efficiently manage the electricity supply and potentially allow a consumer to take advantage of cheaper rates.

Even though many vendors expect a lot of money to be spent on modernizing the grid, smart-grid technology is for the most part still in the testing phase at utility-sponsored trials.

The company, whose networking gear is installed in all corners of the Internet, on Monday will announce its intention to make communications equipment for the electricity grid–everything from routers in grid substations to home energy controllers. CEO John Chambers is scheduled to discuss Cisco’s smart-grid push Monday morning at a JP Morgan conference in Boston.

Cisco started devising a strategy to enter the smart-grid arena last fall. Some utilities are already testing how well its routers and switches can help more efficiently manage the flow of electricity and prevent outages in grid distribution equipment. Cisco also released EnergyWise software earlier this year for managing energy use in office buildings

Cisco: Smart grid will eclipse size of Internet

Cisco knows a bit about building networks and it sees a $100 billion market opportunity in the smart grid.

“Our expectation is that this network will be 100 or 1,000 times larger than the Internet. If you think about it, some homes have Internet access, but some don’t. Everyone has electricity access–all of those homes could potentially be connected,” she said.

amln Cellulosic ethanol could compete with gas, st

April 1, 2010 at 8:47 am • Posted in bootsNo comments yet

Something else to consider: General Motors is an investor in the cellulosic-ethanol company Mascoma.

That study found that cellulosic ethanol could help reduce air pollution in more ways than previously thought. The research group found that cellulosic ethanol not only emits less greenhouse gas than gasoline than was previously known, but also emits fewer fine particles into the air. The researchers also came up with a formula quantifying the long-term health and environmental costs from the fuel production and use of three types of fuel.

The inference here is that the biofuel may not be competitive if gasoline prices fall while the cost of making the biofuel does not.

The U.S. can replace one-third of its annual gasoline use with ethanol by 2030, concludes a joint study released Wednesday by Sandia National Laboratories and General Motors.

Proponents of cellulosic ethanol argue that because the fuel is produced from agricultural byproducts, it has no impact on the food supply or land use.

In a software-driven world, it’s easy to forget about the nuts and bolts. Whether it’s cars, robots, personal gadgetry or industrial machines, Candace Lombardi examines the moving parts that keep our world rotating. A journalist who divides her time between the United States and the United Kingdom, Lombardi has written about technology for the sites of The New York Times, CNET, USA Today, MSN, ZDNet, Silicon.com, and GameSpot. E-mail her at candacelombardi@gmail.com. She is a member of the CNET Blog Network and is not a current employee of CNET.


Cellulosic ethanol could be competitive in price without the need for incentives when oil is at $90 per barrel, according to the study. That cost analysis includes factors such as land and water use, transportation of feedstocks, construction of plants, and the energy used to produce cellulosic ethanol.

Using cellulosic ethanol–or ethanol produced from forestry or agricultural waste–is considered a way to prevent the displacement of crops that feed humans.

The joint study sees cellulosic ethanol as a viable alternative for reducing oil dependence while protecting food crops.

Of the 90 billion gallons of ethanol that need to be produced in 2030 to meet that goal, the study says, 75 billion gallons could come from cellulosic ethanol.

The Sandia-General Motors report follows a University of Minnesota study published last week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Cellulosic ethanol could compete with gas, study says

“For each billion ethanol-equivalent gallons of fuel produced and combusted in the US, the combined climate-change and health costs are $469 million for gasoline, $472-952 million for corn ethanol depending on biorefinery heat source (natural gas, corn stover, or coal) and technology, but only $123-208 million for cellulosic ethanol depending on feedstock (prairie biomass, Miscanthus, corn stover, or switchgrass),” the University of Minnesota report said.

Corn-based ethanol has been blamed by some for higher food prices and shortages because food producers are at times forced to compete with energy companies for the grain. Some also argue that the growing demand for such crops is also responsible for indirect land-use change, the destruction of rain forests and wetlands to make room for more farmland.
