In my #renewableeneegy feasibility study reports, I have a section called ‘Insulation, insulation, insulation.’ Good to see that @jeffrice.bsky.social has followed this approach to emphasise the importance of #sustainability as we move towards changing our physiological response to the #environment
Here’s a chapter of my book.
