This is a hot take, but this election result may end up being the best thing for the climate ever. Yes, some climate policies will get rolled back. But changes in political winds are actually great for climate tech because it makes them anti-fragile. Climate tech needs to

These 1,000 square foot homes are being sold outside Houston for $163k Why can't we: 1. Build millions of these 2. Make them into communities with grocery stores, restaurants, and other amenities within walking distance? That would do more to help the housing affordability

This is one of the coolest buildings in the world. The TWA Hotel at JFK Airport in New York used to be a terminal for Trans World Airlines. It opened in 1962 and was a marvel of architecture in its day. It was actually designed by the same architect, Eero Saarinen, who designed

We helped save $96k+ in annual energy costs at a 1,200 unit apartment complex in Brooklyn The key: Installing heat controls and sensors to make sure the buildings' systems weren't using more energy than they should

Expanding NYC's steam network is idiotic. For 30 years, buildings have been getting OFF city steam one-by-one by installing their own heating systems Why? Because city steam is drastically more expensive. It’s produced by a government monopoly AND because it’s super

I love cool buildings. The Shanghai Tower (the tall one on the right in this photo) has so many interesting features. - 128 stories tall - the twist in the building reduces wind load by 24% - captures rainwater for internal use - wind turbines on the building generate

Imagine 3 inches ruining a multi-hundred million dollar development. This high-rise apartment building in Lower Manhattan, called 1 Seaport, sits abandoned and unfinished. What happened? In short, the building is leaning about 3 inches at the top, and up to 10 inches on some

Housing in NYC is difficult and expensive. Co-op’s are feeling the pinch just like all other building owners. But I’ve never seen a scenario where a co-op had to implement a special assessment fee ($) to cover unpaid rents from other tenants. This is a perfect example of how
