Thanks to @lorchBRI and the anonymous reviewers for their patient and thorough help! And to several others who provided feedback in the developed the idea, including @chrispyke and @DruCrawley .

[Parag Rastogi @RastoPar]

The use of these data and resultant analyses must be standardized in an industry-wide, sanctioned framework to address concerns around liability, misuse and transparency.
7/n

[Parag Rastogi @RastoPar]

Concerted action from professional and standards-setting bodies is required to standardize and make available projected climate data that can be used for building design and analysis.

[Parag Rastogi @RastoPar]

Codes and standards for buildings and infrastructure need rethinking to account for adaptation to climate change, including the protection of real estate investments.

3. Lack of consensus on a standardized framework for communicating the results of simulation with long-term climate data projections
4. Liability concerns with using projection data
4/n

[Parag Rastogi @RastoPar]

1. Lack of consensus on the methodology for creating climate data for buildings
2. Lack of a publicly available platform for providing climate projections in a format suitable for building analysis
3/n

[Parag Rastogi @RastoPar]

We identify four policy-related barriers to the use of projected climate data. Note how these barriers are primarily policy issues rather than technical ones.

In a new @BuildingsCities paper, @ArianeLaxo @danieloverbey @DewayneCecil and I argue for the creation of a robust, institutionally-vetted database of projected climate data to be made available for building performance design and analysis.

6 years ago today I raised my company's min wage to $70k. Fox News called me a socialist whose employees would be on bread lines.

Since then our revenue tripled, we're a Harvard Business School case study & our employees had a 10x boom in homes bought.

Always invest in people.

Why I love my job ⁦@The_BMC⁩ ! Teams of people working to safely and equitably distribute vaccines to their front line colleagues getting cheered on by their friends celebrating the arrival of the vaccines! A great day, a great place. ❤️

@our_nextlife @gershon_colin George Washington had step kids only, no bio kids.

[Ariane Laxo @ArianeLaxo]

🥰 groundbreaking in yet another way

[Tanja Hester @our_nextlife]

Kamala Harris represents so many firsts, but one that I haven’t seen mentioned: she’s not a mom. (She has stepkids thru Doug, and seems to be an incredible stepmom.)

In a world that still tells women you are not a full person until you’ve been a vessel, this is a huge deal.

[Rogue POTUS Staff @RoguePOTUSStaff]

Sometimes you just have to let the child sit by themselves and throw their tantrum, and after they've gotten it out of their system they can come back and play when they're ready to behave.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

While I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last—because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities.

[Ariane Laxo @ArianeLaxo]

@realDonaldTrump 😂😂 you're fired.

[Sacha Baron Cohen @SachaBaronCohen]

Donald—you’re out of work and I know I offered you a job.

But your performance this past week was tragic and sad.

Offer rescinded.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

We have to remember the purpose of our politics isn’t totally unrelenting warfare.
