Temperatures this summer have been, as @hausfath put it so virally, “gobsmackingly bananas.” https://amp.theguardian.com/environment/2023/oct/05/gobsmackingly-bananas-scientists-stunned-by-planets-record-september-heat

That’s why we just launched @TransitionShow Ep. 208 on ‘vernacular architecture.’ https://xenetwork.org/ets/episodes/episode-208-vernacular-architecture/

Because we’re not going to survive our hotter world just by relying on more A/C. We need to find ways to make our buildings comfortable without using energy. Just as humans did for thousands of years.

@chrisnelder @hausfath @TransitionShow A non geek listen. Well done. Reminded me of the term “summer kitchen” for 60 - 70 vintage farm homes on Canadian prairies. Long hot summer days meant some folks retreated to basement living and meal prep as it was naturally cooler. AC was not realistic or relevant at the time.
