(持続化のせいのコンサルタント) Working on building decarbonisation and accurate ESG assessments in Japan.

I wonder how the built environment impacts us in ways that are both explicit and not immediately fathomable. A city can be most efficient in generating economic value. But how well is it designed in making people feel less anxious, more connected, and alive?

[Suhaas Mathur @SuhaasMathur]

@owl_posting Catch-22.

@mayonakamahoo おめでとう御座います

[Suhaas Mathur @SuhaasMathur]

@umichvoter a thing of beauty.

@StabilizClimate The cold snap this week leaving it’s impact.

I love this about Japan. I can leave my MacBook, phone, wallet or any other item unattended and it will still be there when I get back.

[Derek S @TheTokyoDerek]

A Starbucks customer has popped out and left a MacBook unattended at an outdoor table. Don’t go changing, Japan!

Once there, I leave it (force it) to play and finish the game of figure it out. Thus, I give it a taste of its own medicine.

Every time my brain relays feeling lost, I sober it back to senses and calibrate it by visiting Tokyo Gransta.

[Suhaas Mathur @SuhaasMathur]

@energysmartwv It was good initiative and created useful resources.

Institutional focus on sustainability will ensure that investments flow towards engineering innovation in buildings and systems.

[Suhaas Mathur @SuhaasMathur]

The buildings and climate global forum in Paris has emphasised zero emissions and efficient and resilient buildings. Anecdotally speaking, well articulated focus on sustainability from institutional investors will be crucial to achieve this.

[Suhaas Mathur @SuhaasMathur]

In absence of strong institutional demand, IMs are limiting their efforts to incremental improvements to their portfolios that maintain the status quo on the operational side.

[Suhaas Mathur @SuhaasMathur]

Another layer is how we treat ourselves. Listening to ourselves to keep the thoughts and actions aligned helps keep us fully tuned in and unfettered in life.

[Suhaas Mathur @SuhaasMathur]

I reckon that, in an intimate relationship, the feeling of truly being with someone is at its peak when you have the full capacity to be with yourself in their presence. Any curtailment in that capacity and you can feel acutely alone.

[Suhaas Mathur @SuhaasMathur]

Being with someone who doesn’t understand that is inviting misery.

[Suhaas Mathur @SuhaasMathur]

It is crazy. Seen hundreds of residential buildings. Most suffer from the issue poor thermal insulation and air leakage. In fact, the air leakage regulation is ridiculously weak.

Re: 🇯🇵 lack of insulation
Windows are by far where most heat loss occurs
In 🇯🇵 the window industry was dominated for decades by aluminum makers so up until very recently, they did something hilarious: double-pane windows that used one of the most conductive materials known to man

[Suhaas Mathur @SuhaasMathur]

@abhinandita_m @bainjal @ArvindKejriwal That’s deflection. The government hasn’t worked as sincerely to resolve the issue of air quality.

[Suhaas Mathur @SuhaasMathur]

@robelinda2 Thanks for all the videos, Rob. Will miss the channel.

[Suhaas Mathur @SuhaasMathur]

@KiranKS Comparing apples to oranges. Still, doesn’t take away from the fact that the Delhi government needs to stop making excuses and get its act together.

[Suhaas Mathur @SuhaasMathur]

@Radhikainternet The punchlines write themselves.
