Great presentation by Jo da Silva on the new @Arup platform Zero with data from 954 buildings - can be used to assess whole-life carbon at any stage of the design process so the #buildingindustry can start thinking in what she calls the “dual currency” of cost and #carbon. #cop27

Curious to learn more about this distributed district cooling system at the @Singapore pavilion at #COP27

Re-read this classic by Gwen Prins on the way to #COP27 while shivering in the very chilly Cairo airport. Glad to see I was not the only cold soul there or here. @dianaurge https://t.co/2a9nUnHTzD https://t.co/IJdu6Anmb8 #evencondisgetcold

Towards #cop27 to save our climate.
This was NOT taken in Alaska, but Cairo. Outside pleasant 25C, indoors jackets, hoods&hats needed not to freeze.

How can we dramatically reduce emissions while providing power for billions more if the richest cannot even give up excessive AC?

Happy to announce that Completing the Circuit: Workforce Development for Advanced Building Construction and Grid-Interactive Efficient Buildings, written with fantastic @NREL colleagues, is now available. h/t to insights from Legitimation Code Theory #LCT https://t.co/f6H5dqQRhu

So proud of these students and all of our teams from the past four years. We’ve been pushing the boundaries for #climatepositive #districtenergy with a scalable, distributed solution that’s grounded in good design and @phius1 passive building principles.

[UArizona CAPLA @UArizonaCAPLA]

Congratulations to three CAPLA teams for advancing as finalists in the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon 2022 Design Challenge.⁣ They will be presenting at the final competition at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colorado April 22-24.⁣ #uarizona

Backstage at the standupscience show in Tucson... I’m up next! Talking about the surprising power of low-energy building to address #climatechange and the #climatecrisis. Shoutouts to passivehouseinstituteus and… https://t.co/eAgSaOGjd7

@aerobarrier of Arizona did a great job sealing this 1950’s house to passive house levels of airtightness. I am looking forward to a house with clean air and lower carbon emissions. We started just over 5 air changes… https://t.co/r8HjosL1oR

A real highlight from #LF19. NYC will have 40% carbon reductions by 2030, hasn’t forgotten that sustainability starts with equity.

[Sustainable Market Transformation @transformarkets]

@growacity what a great talk this morning! Thanks for moving us all closer to an equitable low carbon future.

Thanks, Arlie!

[Jonathan Bean, PhD, CPHC @beangreen]

@architend Thanks for being so inspiring! Our projects were inspired by you and your students.

[Jonathan Bean, PhD, CPHC @beangreen]

This is what your baggage looks like when you’re an architecture prof on the way to the @solar_decathlon @nrel. Can’t wait to see how our three uacapla student teams do in the… https://t.co/Zx0FmRkVuu

[Positive Energy @BldgScienceATX]

Talking market transformation with the good and illustrious professor @beangreen.

"Contrary to popular belief, ZER homes fall under a 3% incremental cost in most parts of the country, with that cost dropping under 1% in select locations such as Houston, Texas."

[Jonathan Bean, PhD, CPHC @beangreen]

It's here, folks! Zero-energy building is cost effective today. https://t.co/MIFARm2iZ1 @nk_arch saw this coming.

Driving to the Denver airport makes me think the flat earthers are on to something. #FlatEarth #flatearthsociety #kansasorguam
