PVT (Photo-Voltaic-Thermal) systems co-produce electricity and heat from captured sunlight. Additional heat can be sourced from the building's heat pumps, sourcing their heat from the brine from 76 boreholes, each 150 m deep.

Great work here by #CherryHill. In addition to the economic benefits, transitioning our homes and buildings to renewables helps improve #AirQuality in South Jersey.

Cherry Hill Township taking three big steps to support solar and deal with residents' electric bill sticker shock.

A program aimed at promoting solar energy in Cherry Hill as a cheaper alternative to skyrocketing PSE&G electric bills was unveiled by Township Council at its Monday meeting.

A local authority said it was on track to meet the previous 30 µg/m³ limit (set in 2021) by the end of this year. The Oxford City Council stated its priorities for 2026-2030 were on continuing the reduction of transport emissions. Examples include traffic filters and expanding the ZEZ.

Excellent to hear that @oxfordcitycouncil.bsky.social is reinforcing its commitment to clean air by adopting the interim @who.int target for nitrogen dioxide of 20 µg/m³ by 2030.

We're looking forward to a very clear commitment to the same from @london.gov.uk. #AirPollution #Health

It turns out that Solar Heating for Industrial Processes (SHIP) can be profitable covering 20-30% of industrial heating demand. Wind and solar power didn't overtake coal power overnight either. Larger shares of SHIP likely come later.

Good read. #AirQuality is a multi-faceted problem. Namely that new 2.5 micron Particulate Matter can form from gaseous pollutants like SOx, NOx & ammonia emissions. Also, the problem has to be tackled at the regional level, because air pollutants emitted from far away can still become your problem.

🌬️ High indoor CO₂ = poor ventilation = higher COVID risk.

We breathe out both CO₂ and viral aerosols when the air’s stale, viruses can linger.

💡 Keep CO₂ under 800 ppm, open windows, and use purifiers.
