I've seen this movie.

This is the way.

Given we need to talk about AC and ventilation more, I think we need some better organizing principles to communicate how they all work together. So far, the best I've come across was a presentation by Lstiburek at Building Science Corp: youtu.be/sBcNFeiWjrg?... Time stamp at 54m30s

The wider public remains largely ignorant of the various heat pump options and their pros/cons. A compressor indoors isn't ideal but where you just can't have an external unit it's still better than resistive heating - at least for bills and environment!

oh damn yes please a resource score for buildings

Klaus Dosch from Resscore.de on non-subtle differences in construction. Time to be honest about this. It's the biobased materials.

Some of the Listifications features are also available on my app, I'm looking for feedback from people who would use them. You can see more at blueskytracker.app if that interests you.

We are planning joint activities for advancing #LCA, low carbon and climate resilient construction with partners on the continent. We will develop accessible, easy to use LCA tools to support uptake of low carbon, climate resilient buildings. Curious to learn more or eager to join, get in touch!

All you need is right here for healthy and durable state of the art buildings and deep renovation. #Strawbuilding exhibition in the worlds highest directly plastered straw building, NZNB Verden, Germany. Similar straw houses are over 100 years old. We live and teach this wonderful technology.

and as a graphic overview. It's wood (biobased materials) the other´materials are not even close to be a solution in construction like that.

Not that I have a problem with blocking, it's just so that it leaves a mild curiosity about the energy.

They tell you that change is impossible, because they need you to stay quiet. Today, 250,000 people have signed the Polluters Pay Pact. 250,000 people saying that Big Oil corporations - not ordinary people - must pay for the damage of global warming.

Wir hätten blühende Landschaften, wenn es institutionelle Förderungen für unabhängige, gemeinwohlorientierte, grundgesetztreue Gruppen gäbe, die wirklich (nicht nur an sich) Denken.

I'll leave some morning Kindergarten run fotos here vs the delayer sht we will see during the day that keeps us busy in a threadmill preventing us from action. You know what to do.

Friendly reminder: Rapidly renewable materials are here and ready to replace fossil crap. This is no longer niche stuff. But it's still backyard technology which is a feature not a bug. e.g.: #Hemp building, picture by isohemp, adjacent paper on fire resistance: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

If your country is building 'camps', you know.

Climate News Round Up Wednesday 24-09-2025 1. Investing in climate protection pays for itself. Many times over:

So, I am showing you 8 -storey and more straw houses all the time, how about 5-storey houses made from rammed chalk? Could it be that contemporary building means shooting sparrows with cannons? Rhetorical question. Winchester, UK. Built around 1840

It was a "renaissance" in 1919 😊

It's weird - but now in Oslo, there's so many EVs that you notice the noise and the smell from individual ICE cars, and you realise how much we've been normalising it for ever. You can smell them half a street away. And inside parking lots are just *quiet*.

Service post for 'realistic', 'conservative' governments: "1 Euro invested in climate protection yields a return of between €1.8 and €4.8."

No sorry, I have interest but no scholarly knowledge. There are also, of course, now contemporary cob buildings in England (I've seen quite a few, have helped build two). The man who built this one 👇has built, and helped build, many others. shorturl.at/gdsXd see shorturl.at/gYr0J - and much else!

Whoop whoop www.residenzverlag.com/en/buch/a-re...

Es gibt zu viele Volkstreter*innen.

Last call: Seting limits for the climate damage of construction in a residential/ commercial/ industrial development area seems like a no brainer but somehow it's not yet seeped in that this is locally very possible even without government support.

the US if Tylenol actually caused autism

Greenhouse warming potential of different wall variants for this multifamily #strawhouse compared as - round-the-world trips with ICE car. 😜

If you need input on renewable materials... @globalecoguy.bsky.social

We are renewing our 500m² #Bauwende exhibition, looking for interesting regenerative stuff so people will run home and build / renovate. Guess my name @ biwena.de No Greenwashing :-)

Erinnern wir uns kurz daran, wer vorher auf dem Posten saß und die Menschen im Land vertreten hat. Menschen die sich anschließend darüber aufregen ließen, dass XYZ zwar richtig war aber schlecht kommuniziert wurde. Daraufhin wurden nun diese fossilen Firmen in die Regierung gewählt:

Tried Simit for the first time at home. Wohoo. (With the byproduct you can build passive houses that people can afford, DIY, are climate neutral and can last centuries.)

The exhibition is of course in a large #strawhouse with this as the elevator shaft.

the new normal under climate and comfort conscious regimes, renewable materials with co-benefits beyond the scale.

We’re starting our strawbale build here in rural Bulgaria 🌾 Four of us, a pile of bales, and a dream to put down roots in walls we built ourselves. Just family, straw, and a lot of learning along the way. Doing the best we can, with what we’ve got. #offgrid #strawbalehouse #familylife

Schick's doch mal an dein Bauamt: 2x @fnr.de Broschüren damit der Hozbau endlich los geht in Deutschland, zumindest durch die öffentlich Hand. Planungsleistungen vergeben und Losbündelung. Ohne nachwachsende Rohstoffe keine #Bauwende, so einfach ist das. news.fnr.de/fnr-pressemi...

Imagine saving the building sector, which is not allowed to emit so much greenhouse gas in the climate crisis anymore, would be so easy. A quick to build masstimber structure + straw in a locally made box + roofing tiles = affordable, ultra climate resilient and affordable, social housing.

"Zum Jahresende 2024 gab es in Deutschland rund 43,8 Millionen Wohnungen. Wie das Statistische Bundesamt (Destatis) mitteilt, waren das 0,5 % oder 238.500 Wohnungen mehr als Ende 2023." DE: + 0,5% NL: + 0,9% www.destatis.de/DE/Themen/Ge...

+82.000 homes in 2024 seems to be a lot for small Netherlands (18 mio people)

This is a war. Against humanity. There is nothing 'social' or 'transition' about it.

1. AI is currently used to increase oil and gas recovery - i.e. directly CONTRIBUTING to the problem 2. AI energy/water use is exploding and, for what? So LLMs can rephrase the internet 3. Even talking AI in the climate context saps bandwidth from WHAT WE KNOW WORKS (i.e. rapid fossil fuel phaseout)

Hat Katherina Reiches Wirtschaftsministerium Lobbyforderungen von EON & RWE übernommen? Laut @table.media weist ihr 10-Punkte-Plan „sprachlich & inhaltlich erstaunliche Ähnlichkeiten“ mit einem Konzernpapier auf.

Let's do the opposite curve for emissions (you need to actively end / prevent fascism and it's protoforms for this). Thank you.
