Unbelievably excited about this! Hall for Cornwall @oregion4 hallforcornwall.co.uk/whats-on/long-…

I’ll just leave this here.

One thing that I think has been massively over sold is the ability of smart thermostats to save money. There is no way that any savings can make up the extra costs. If you can say one thing about an old school manual thermostat, it will probably last decades

This 👇So much this. Yes.

I can't really hope in a few short extracts to bring home the power of what Hanan Wahabi - who lost her brother, her sister-in-law and their three children at Grenfell - just said to the representatives of those responsible. But here are a few bits I've transcribed:

Just been submitting feedback to the Future Homes Standard consultation w Royal Institute of British Architects. Incredible despite years of gov "consultations" & advocacy (LETI UK Green Building Council) gov wants to stick to ineffectual methods inc notional buildings & % reductions. Just switch to as-built EUI already! 1/9

All of this 👇With the addition that when measuring the actual performance in real life the internal temperature should have been measured and used to compare to a set of EUI ‘curves’ for different int / ext temp values at design stage. In my opinion. But I may be wrong! 🙂

So looking forward to playing as part of this 👇 - it will be a very special concert. Come along! This Saturday evening.

Can anyone help identify these seabirds seen on a south Cornwall beach this afternoon? Much larger than the Oystercatchers usually seen. About the size of a duck… Thanks 🙂

A scientific journal has just agreed to publish our paper on badgers in Cornwall, and encourages us "to provide a second abstract in... the language relevant to the country in which the research was conducted". Would anyone like to translate 300ish words into #Kernewek ?
