  1. O centro de SP precisa de retrofit?

    Revitalizar prédios antigos é demanda antiga de movimentos por moradia. Mas o atual programa entregou só 7% à faixa mais pobre e virou política de valorização privada. Objetivo não deveria ser apenas “reformar”, mas garantir permanência de quem vive e trabalha na região

  2. People often talk about the ‘greenhouse effect’ in relation our planet overheating…but obviously it is a metaphor for what happens with glass in buildings.

    But have ever considered the science behind it?

    Also, did you know 78% of UK housing stock was built pre 1980.

  4. In this article a treasury spokesperson says they don't want to cap energy prices because "Insulating every household [from gas price volatility] – and on an open-ended basis – could have major implications for the public finances.”

    If only there was a way to insulate people from unstable future energy costs with a single upfront cost. If only there was a way to INSULATE us... 🙄

  6. @marcyrockman This is a fantastic piece. I would put it in the camp of #SolutionsJournalism - I disagree with the last statement, though, in that I don’t think cultural change comes free. Not everyone can afford such strategies of adjusting heating and cooling or maximizing the benefits of thermal mass, or retreating to a more comfortable part of the home. Working on some further thoughts about that…
