📯 New Inkling blog post on the recently updated CIBSE weather files.
Keen to hear whether you have observed anything similar. Have we lost sight of urban heat islands, or are we better served by weather data that represents wider rural areas?

We model many aspects of building design in minute detail, why aren't we giving the same attention to how we (dynamic) model air tightness? Read our latest Inkling blog discussing this and how we might improve.

Last week I was asked to speak at an Association of Noise Consultants event launching their new Approved Document O Noise Guide.
It's great that acousticians and thermal modellers are working more closely on homes that are comfortable for summer heat AND noise levels.

One of our more important Nesta reports out this morning: on why we desperately need to reform levies on energy bills.

Will thread on this in a bit, but do get started on the chart-tastic report here if you have time

Cheaper electricity, fairer bills
Electricity prices are disproportionately higher compared to gas prices

I haven't made one of these for a while, so here's a heatmap that shows the monthly global temperature anomaly for 1880–2024.

This shows the difference between the average temperature in each month and the 20th century average for that month.

Everyone knows that Isaac Newton discovered the law of gravity, that Charles Darwin discovered evolution by natural selection, even that Albert Einstein discovered relativity. But how many people know that Cecilia Payne discovered the composition of the Universe?

We (Inkling) don’t think it is well understood that there two different ways in which glazing g-values are being specified. We hope this blog will help draw attention to this issue and reduce the risk of inadvertent errors creeping into modelling assessments.
