BREAKING: The U.S. Trade Rep. will declare in a speech on Monday that China is not in compliance with the 'phase 1' trade deal with the U.S., sources tell CNBC. USTR is now evaluating possible actions over China's non-compliance. (via @kaylatausche)

Great work by our architectural solar team, producing this visualisation of our innovative 'Steel Zero' solar facade https://t.co/njpFA3GXNt in a new London museum.

My daughters Flora (aged 12) and Martha (aged 9) were inspired by Van Gogh (and Junior Bake-off) to create a sunflower-themed traybake and a painting of a tree respectively #VanGoghCreation

Great news for solar heat!

San Francisco will ban the use of natural gas for heating and cooking in new buildings starting next year https://t.co/UxipYBdW3n

The Green Homes Grant programme announced by BEIS this week could provide a turbo-boost to the UK's low carbon heating market - but good programme design will be critical - my thoughts: https://t.co/5VI48NYb3J

@Fairfield_First A belated thank you for Martha's prizes! She's delighted and is kindly sharing with her lucky sister.

[John Blower @john_blower]

@Fairfield_First Martha also thinks its Mrs. Yeomans.

[John Blower @john_blower]

@Fairfield_First Martha guesses Mrs. Vine!

[John Blower @john_blower]

@Fairfield_First Martha's guess is Mrs. Draisey.

@bmay Thanks!

In my third day of self-isolation in bed (with the symptoms but without being eligible - per NHS111 - for a test), this made me laugh out loud for the first time this week!

And ironically, who I should I meet in the ASHRAE bookshop? None other than Dr. Robert Edwards. So the most interesting solar cooling news I learned from Orlando was the recent excellent technical progress on the @solarpolar solar absorption cooling machine - very exciting news!

[John Blower @john_blower]

It's good to be at my first ASHRAE conference. I'm about to take in a BIPV seminar before I speak about Steel Zero later - it should be interesting!

Technologically and economically, it seems to me that for heat, the 'reduce demand and electrify as much as use can and use hydrogen for peaking and/or storage' approach makes the most sense (3/4).

Exciting to be part of the @PlugHarvest team visiting facade company, Garcia Faura, in Barcelona to discuss energy harvesting facades.
