#buildingscience — Public Fediverse posts

I have both of Marion's "Residential Retrofit" books, so already knew this would be a good episode, even then it blew me away. Myth busting that low energy buildings require the occupant to "manage" their environment, and the "rebound effect" is a non-issue as once energy demand has been reduced by 80%, even doubling that still works out to be less energy.

Radon levels vary significantly depending on a building’s construction year 🏠
The Canada Cross-Radon Survey includes a detailed Alberta case study (p.51) showing how radon behaviour changes across construction periods.
