"Operational emissions of buildings will drastically decrease in the future. This should be considered in the environmental assessment of building retrofits." - @walker_linus

Here's why a more forward-looking environmental assessment of building GHG emissions would give greater weight to material-based emissions according to @walker_linus #decarbonization

The current building refurbishment rate in Switzerland sits at 1% and must increase to reach the goals of the energy strategy 2050. Here's the story of buildings refurbishments and why old buildings matter.

@RailService Habe ich gemacht. Sei eine ‚komplexe Preisauskunft‘ wenn noch nicht sicher sei, dass ich buche, zu aufwändig. Am Bhf die gleiche Info. Ohne Preis buche ich nicht.
Schade, dass dies die Bahnen in Europa nicht einfacher schaffen.
Ihr seid unsere Hoffnung für nachhaltige Reisen!

[Linus Walker @walker_linus]

What‘s the best way to book a train ticket from Zürich to Stockholm?
@RailService and @DB_Bahn cannot tell me a price online, at the train station nor on the phone
@OmioGlobal and @thetrainline won‘t let me choose a sleeping carriage on the night train.

Any suggestions?

Did you know that buildings are responsible for 40% of energy-related greenhouse gas emissions in Europe? @mariofrei discusses why these "complex machines" provide tons of opportunities to address climate change at low cost and with (free) co-benefits.

Ever wondered how Switzerland's #energy demand would change if it started to rely heavily on air conditioning? Say no more.

Wir können es nicht häufig genug wiederholen u. freuen uns, dass nun endlich auch das #zdfmagazin darüber berichtet:

Sand ist endlich!

Der Beton-Rohstoff ist bereits knapp. Das führt zu zT illegalem Raubbau u. extrem weiten Transportwegen f d Bauindustrie.

Schaut’s euch an:

In our latest blog @Christoph_Wai discusses how to equip architects with the right tools to enable a new era of architecture that is set to be disrupted by the energy transition!

[Linus Walker @walker_linus]

Read @Christoph_Wai's blogpost on #EnergyResponsivism. He demands that architects build up intuition for sustainable building design by using the right software tools.

[Energy Blog @ ETH Zürich @eth_energy_blog]

A new era of architecture, #EnergyResponsivism, needs a new set of tools. This is how @Christoph_Wai wants to make buildings great again. https://t.co/ebEssJivaN

@Christoph_Wai Very nice!

To use distributed #solar fully, it is critical for building occupants to actively participate in the #energy transition.

Cost savings are too small to drive change, that's why joint-ownership can be so powerful.

Argues Danielle Griego @eth_energy_blog https://t.co/3O1deBdZ8o

[Energy Blog @ ETH Zürich @eth_energy_blog]

As renewables diffuse, electricity consumption patterns must become more closely tied to the timing of #solar and wind generation

Danielle Griego outlines the potential of joint ownership of community-scale PV systems to achieve it, in @eth_energy_blog https://t.co/3O1deAWogQ

The health emergency caused by #COVID19 has taught crucial lessons that should inform the political agenda for #climate & #energy

Large-scale #solar PV is essential for meeting the 2050 #Energy Strategy of the Swiss gov. However, it remains marginal in the country

@LeoHaelg argues why change in policies is needed to bring about big solar in Switzerlad, read it in @eth_energy_blog https://t.co/zsNl8r4b18
