Acronym spaghetti
As an industry, we love acronyms. For newcomers this may be confusing.
I toyed with the idea of a seperate glossary page with links to sites, but that seemed quite a heavy workload. So I compromised and added a Wordpress plug-in which automatically displays acronyms (if I have defined them) when you hover your mouse over the text.
Try it: BREEAM, EPC, WRAP, CIBSE, DSM et al. You don’t get a link to a website, but I credit you all with the intelligence to stick the phrase in a search engine and then I don’t need to maintain broken links.
If you use Wordpress and want to try it out, the plug-in can be found here.
Hope someone finds this of use…
