In Europe’s clean energy transition, industry turns to heat pumps
The Wienerberger brickworks in Uttendorf, Austria, in the Tyrolean Alps, has always required a steady stream of 194 degree Fahrenheit heat to dry its construction blocks. This process would have been an expensive proposition for the company after Russia cut gas exports to Europe, as it was for most
Paul Eastwood@JakobSchlandt @chrisnelder I agree, fantastic thread, thank you. You are also helping to strengthen #EnergyMastadon and bridge the gap for those of us who are making the transition from the other site. The more that engagement increases and diversifies over here the less reason there is to keep checking back over there. Thank you!

Building Sustainability Podcast - The Biophilic Tiny House Part 1 of 3 - Jeffrey Hart - BS091
Today we are talking to me, Jeffrey Hart, designer and builder of the biophilic tiny house. This is the Christmas special, and so is a light-hearted chat with some mince pies and mulled wine. We talked for 4 hours, and edited down to just shy of 3 hours! In this episode, we discuss why I wanted to build a tiny home, small living, how to find the land, design considerations, budget, windows, materials, the design process, technical details and biophilic design. *Episode links* * Kind Supply (Hemp Insulation) - https://kindsupply.co.uk/ * Indinature Hemp - https://www.indinature.co/ * Green Building Store Windows - https://www.greenbuildingstore.co.uk/high-performance-windows-and-doors/ * Carbon Filter for loo - https://compoosttoilets.com/products/carbon-filter-150mm-high-same-size-as-foxes-afloat-youtube-vlog * Saltfire Scout (my woodstove) - https://www.saltfire.co.uk/products/scout * Vlemmix Tiny House Trailers - https://hmdtrailers.com/tiny-house-trailers/ * Biophilic Design Episode - https://www.buildingsustainabilitypodcast.com/biophilic-design-bill-browning-catie-ryan-bs047/ * UK Hardwoods (ash floor) - https://www.ukhardwoods.co.uk/ * Earthborn Paint - https://earthbornpaints.co.uk/ * Edward Bulmer Paint (colour behind bookcase) - https://www.edwardbulmerpaint.co.uk/ *Tiny House Podcast Links* * Building A Tiny House - https://www.buildingsustainabilitypodcast.com/building-a-tiny-house-flo-hamer/ * An Extendable High Top Tiny House - https://www.buildingsustainabilitypodcast.com/an-extending-high-top-tiny-house-philippa-battye-bs049/ * Tiny House Design 101 - https://www.buildingsustainabilitypodcast.com/tiny-house-design-101-emma-pile-bs048/ * Bluebell - https://www.buildingsustainabilitypodcast.com/bluebell-a-tiny-cottage-built-onto-a-van-pt-2-georjie-adams-bs060/ * Me on House Planning Help - https://www.houseplanninghelp.com/hph312-building-a-tiny-house-with-natural-materials-with-jeffrey-hart/Support the show
Love this!
Every year will see renewable energy capacity reach ever higher levels.

1. corporate & govt sustainability goals that drive purchasing behavior (esp leading companies like Microsoft & Google)
2. consumers awakening to the value of resilience = adoption of DER = future load balancing flexibility
3. transportation electrification. #EV sales in the US are going to climb faster than many expect
4. economics of coal & now NG which will drive incremental #renewable investment

Dr Chris VernonAt 21:47 last night it was -3.3°C outside and 20.2°C inside, downstairs at foot of stairs. The fire went out around 7pm. Nine hours later the outside temperature had fallen to -6.1°C, record low since records began (Jan '21). The inside temperature had only fallen to 17.6°C. With no heating the house lost around 2.6°C in nine hours with a ~23° delta from inside to out.

KCInside Mike Cannon-Brookes’s #AGL coup
What he’s saying is we need things like community batteries at the end of the street. Individual batteries in the home. Electric cars providing power, vehicle to grid, explains IEEFA’s Bruce Robertson.
He means nothing less than turning the traditional model of electricity provision upside down.
