@JugglingWithEggs@mstdn.social That low afternoon sun is brutal in an already hot house!
Human after all@SeaFury@aus.social @JugglingWithEggs@mstdn.social when I was in France last time the highlight of the trip was the opening and closing of the shutters
Human after all@SeaFury@aus.social @JugglingWithEggs@mstdn.social I worked a summer camp in Hangzhou and it was 41C and there was no way I was sending kids or adults out into that so I sabotaged it by starting a massive water fight

The French have long recognised the basic purpose and value of shutters…but they are seen as an extravagant indulgence in the UK. Will that change in the next 5 years?
SeaFury 🦜🍃@JugglingWithEggs@mstdn.social some measures depend on climate/microclimate. I think we should be building or retrofitting for climate change. @humanhorseshoes@mastodon.world

Absolutely this. UK is on the back foot on building for climate change and retrofit has been slowly gaining pace after the industry was decimated by the Tories when Cameron started spouting nonsense like ‘cut the green crap’ to appease his austerity loving chancellor Osborne.
Would argue that climatewise south coast and East Anglia in the UK are not that dissimilar to northern France, but approaches to shade for properties very different.

SeaFury 🦜🍃@JugglingWithEggs@mstdn.social A cultural vernacular that moved from north to south with no regard for climate. I mean when the british came to Australia, they oriented the buildings in the same way as the the uk (polar facing directions are different!) it has a lot of impact on solar performance until someone worked it out many decades later! @humanhorseshoes@mastodon.world
