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?

@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.
