#insulation

Adaptable #insulation elements ensure that the heat transfer through the building envelope can be adjusted as required. This saves #energy for heating or cooling and therefore costs. The #DITF and their partners are developing adaptive building envelopes.

Pressure-resistant spacer fabrics are used as textile filling cores for vacuum insulation elements. In the knitting process, the pore properties can be flexibly adjusted by yarn and weave selection.

A to support a comprehensive and programme would be very welcome…but I would say that as I work to insulate social housing.

My concern is that any huge sum raised needs to be spent in such a way that it makes real impact on homes and is delivered well and at pace. That requires a skilled, dedicated workforce and less fragmentation and bureaucracy around the finance and process of it.

But that would require a serious look at the class tensions of the industry.

I am getting my van back soon. Am looking at vapour permeable insulation. I am really grateful to have worked on buildings. I know I want and the best products. Some new ones have come on the market though, so I might need to go see a builder friend about those new ones 🥰 #insulation #van

It's a new week and our #mutualaid target is $2000.
I am going to need it for:
#carloan $280
#creditcard bills $50
#tyres for the Vulpibus $1200
#insulation for the Vulpibus (ongoing bit by bit)
#food
#batteries for the #solar power setup $400 min.

There are more things I could list but it depends what pops up and when. Please only donate what you can spare. Lots of love!

@psfshr nice. I'm about to do similar upgrades. And I fancy documenting it. But not sure how to present it.
My #heatpump is ordered from #Octopus. And I'm about to get the roof and wall #insulation started. But first I will chop the chimneys off, as soon as the old heating has gone. #Solar will have to wait till the roof has been retiled. More space without chimneys for solar panels too.

What a bizarre story! "While some forms of insulation and solar panels are exempt from planning permission, the [PBP] party’s representatives said the situation with insulation for external walls is “less clear” for homeowners."

Small whine: my downstairs bathroom has no #insulation and the pipes freeze multiple times a #winter. A washer in the tub faucet must have shattered bec the water has been rapidly dripping for 5 days now

Told my landlord right away. No response. Asked him again 2 days later- he's too busy for another 3 days! I am paying for the water he's wasting. I am paying rent on a #house that doesn't get above 49 degrees even with the heat on

So tired of this. Get me out of WV please!

New study out: using wood for insulation rather than fuel (wood pellets) to generate the same heat uses 9 times less wood, releases 21 times less greenhouse gases, and delivers massive health benefits. But it costs more...
