Building performance in Northeast US. Focused in energy, low carbon, healthy, resilient, equitable design for the built environment. Also video games.
This was targeted based on the location of the recipient prime contractor - many of these projects are rolling out across red and blue states, with matching funding from industry. Such a waste and will be damaging to energy affordability for so many people

I truly appreciate that you’re doing so much to give back with your campaign - do you share/disclose how your funds are spent and what portion goes to things like this vs. advertising, office overhead, etc?

I love this and have heard from others and pushed for spending campaign money this way. Can you share the % of campaign funds that’s going towards these efforts?!

Ooof not the floodlights haha. Too much light pollution!

Beltine, solstice. Sometimes they’re just piss-the-neighbors-off lights

My lights are still up - they transition through the year to be Easter, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Juneteenth, Labor Day, Halloween, thanksgiving, and then Christmas lights. I can’t take them down and put back up between every event

Thanks! I don’t have a physics degree lol…so this one’s probabaly better!

It’s largely a scam and effort of FF companies to cash in on their own destruction, and some odd 70% of it facilitates oil/gas extraction. Natural system capacities for sequestration far exceed any man made capacities - but it’s harder for private capital to make money “solving the problem” there

I’ve always been a space elevator kind of pipe dream guy, which I feel like in practical terms needs to happen first before the mars bases or the generation ships. and if we get the space elevator we can do my climate change solving invention - the macro split heat pump into space.

Is the intermittent used with another heat source? Or it’s intermittent because people only turn it on sometimes? And the HP is continuous because of how the inverter drives want to operate or why?

Yeah, some of our northern climate zones are a fair bit higher in peak cooling load I think. If you design new with a radiant floor or other high surface area radiant system you can do A2W hydronic easy enough, but retrofitting the radiators to meet the the peak load is rough

Most of the bad reviews and experiences I’ve seen stem from poor communication and education around how these systems operate; poor expectation setting, etc. there are maintenance needs (cleaning/clogged filters) that can cause issues if there’s heavy cooking and no kitchen exhaust, etc.

Is there a heating season or all year intermittent heating? If it’s heating season you can do a disaggregated utility analysis to pull seasonal heating energy use out for conversion/comparison

But yeah a high temp A2W would be good for existing hydronic retrofits, the tech isn’t quite there yet without a staged 2 heat pump system, and it’s not as efficient. You can do lower temp A2W with todays tech but you need more surface area and most retrofits have small radiators and it won’t work

In the US for a ductless a2a retrofit we just don’t put heater in the bathroom typically, only major zones get a HP head unit (bedrooms, living, dining) and it’s mostly fine.
