  1. #Petromax / Sea Anchor LED #Retrofit Teil2... Jetzt "faucht" sie auch. Im Batteriebetrieb ist sie jetzt bei maximaler Helligkeit etwas heller als das Original. Akkulaufzeit: auf maximaler Helligkeit ca. 3h. Gedimmt auf etwas gemütliches Licht, ca. 8 bis 10h.

  2. Comment les #autocars passent à l’électrique dans le #PuyDeDôme

    Qu’ils en soient aux balbutiements ou à un stade de développement plus large, grâce notamment à la solution du #rétrofit, les autocaristes du Puy-de-Dôme adoptent la motorisation #électrique, laquelle ne manque pas d’avantages.

  3. House hunting is no fun when you work in #retrofit

    Saw a lovely home today in the perfect location with an EPC ‘B’ (86) score. It had solar pv and high performance double glazing. The decor looked quite safely neutral…

    But then I saw it had artex on the ceiling…and they had drilled spotlights into it.

    And that’s when my heart sank.

  4. 🌐🤡 Ah, yes, the noble quest to retro-fit your shiny, cutting-edge #v6 site with a clunky #v4 front end, because clearly, progress means dragging the past along like an unwanted party guest. 🎉📡 I mean, why let the future be easy when you can add unnecessary steps and blame the world for not upgrading fast enough? 💡🔧

  5. 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

  6. 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.

  7. Das Ergebnis ist hier zu sehen: Die Sea Anchor mit Akku+LED Retrofit. Zerstörungsfrei. "Nur" 1000 — 1400 Lumen. Aber das ist für die Terrasse und fürs Campen mehr als genug.

    "Marty, sie läuft mit Strom!"

  8. “ Thermoacoustic heat pumps on the verge of commercial breakthrough”

    “ The system uses sound waves instead of refrigerants, aiming for quiet, flexible, low-maintenance heating suited especially for retrofits and renewable integration.”

    “In practical terms, this makes the technology particularly suitable for retrofits,” Hartman said. “Older buildings, which represent the majority of Europe’s housing stock, often cannot accommodate low-temperature heating without costly upgrades. Thermoacoustic systems can work with existing radiators and piping, reducing the need for extensive renovation.”

  10. Image taken from yesterday's video, where I'm retrofitting an old car stereo with a small Bluetooth module...

  11. Durch #Retrofit könnten bestehende #Dieselbusse auf #Elektroantrieb umgerüstet werden.

    Laut Empa ließe sich Europas #Busflotte so rund 15 Jahre früher elektrifizieren. Gleichzeitig könnten etwa die Hälfte der Kosten und #CO2-Emissionen im Vergleich zu neuen #Elektrobussen eingespart werden. Offene Fragen bestehen unter anderem bei #Ladeinfrastruktur, Zulassung und Standardisierung.

  13. I heard this week the #Labour government is desperate to get more solar pv on UK rooftops before winter arrives with the attendant energy price hikes.

    Social housing will be key beneficiary of this. But keep your ears out for news of potential new schemes.

    And #SolarPV has some less well known benefits. Did you know they reflect the heat away from roof?

  14. ‘Daniel Kebede, general secretary of the NEU said it could be dangerous for schools to remain open unless they were able to mitigate the heat, and warned:

    “Our Victorian school buildings have become greenhouses. The government must step up. We need urgent, massive capital investment to #retrofit our ageing school estates with proper ventilation, shading, and climate-resilient cooling infrastructure. Expecting schools to carry on like normal right now is dangerous.”’

  15. Just sat in a meeting talking about a ‘post government funding world for #retrofit’… the vision is that banks will fund this work through loans and they will want it done as cheaply and efficiently as possible. That’s going to mean assessing using monitoring systems rather than trained human assessors and coordinators who visit the properties.

    You might think ‘great - technology makes things cheaper and more efficient!’

    I just see unintended consequences that will cost a fortune to put right.
