"Can I see the Building Regulations Certificate for the Loft Conversion?" "Nahh, we didn't bother. We just put in a narrow spiral staircase, into a teenagers bedroom and removed any semblance of fire protection or acoustic separation from all the floors. £600 grand please" "Bye."

Could commentators please stop going on about players "entering the record books" at this #WorldCup... being the first person to score 2 goals in the second 20 minutes of a knock-out match, not ever, just since Julio Geordio did it at France '98, is not a record. At best it's an irrelevant stat.

... and in case anyone was wondering, yes, the 5 bed London flat is the most expensive. By a long way...

One window unit for the whole house, or one per room? By the way $600.00 is not cheap, when people are already choosing not to turn their heating on in winter because they can't afford the energy bills...

... (thermal mass, insulation with high thermal lag, external shading, building orientation, planting etc.). It should be last on the list, not first.

An 80 grand grant certainly takes the edge off the installation cost! While cooling can be part of the solution (powered from renewables, of course!), it is expensive and takes the focus away from designing buildings that can address overheating in a more passive way ...

Brilliant to see the BBC picking up Ranald Lawrence and Dean Hawkes' fabulously interesting and important #environmentalhumanities work on #HardwickHall. They measured solar gain to understand Elizabethan comfort tech. The original articles are hugely worth reading too. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

So what? Trump doesn't care. He is the epitome of "... ask for forgiveness, not permission..." the only thing is, he's not bothered about forgiveness either. You can't reason with him. You can't appease him. He only responds to power.
