Many Americans had trouble paying their energy bills before COVID-19, and the current recession is making the problem worse.
Energy efficiency and electrification should lead the effort to decarbonise society, not hydrogen.
Electricity is only one part of the green energy puzzle we need to solve.
Net zero energy buildings produce at least as much energy as they use. Designing whole net zero campuses and communities takes the energy and climate benefits to a higher level.
Larger homes with fewer occupants have a bigger energy and heating demand.
Britain’s electricity supply is getting greener but the burning question remains over how to decarbonise heating.
Households generate a large share of national greenhouse gas emissions and can take steps to reduce them.
Britain greets a new decade with substantially cleaner electricity, but challenges lie ahead to decarbonise its transport and heating.
Australian houses are not designed and built for the realities of climate change
Everyone has a different ideal temperature at any given time. It could be more comfortable to monitor people’s body temperatures and adjust heating and cooling in response.
Energy justice is a social issue, and by leaving it up to vulnerable people to sort it out for themselves, we as a society risk making it even worse.
The legacy of the dirtiest of fuels – coal – has the potential to deliver a low carbon energy future.
Lille, Lyon, Grenoble, Paris … In recent months, major French cities have experienced severe pollution spikes. How is this threat to health and the environment assessed?
Before you spend up on heating and cooling, here are a few simple retrofits to try first.
As the weather heats up, Australian households won’t just be cranking up the air conditioning for themselves. Some households will also be turning it on for their dogs or cats.
Bigger houses take more energy to build them, and use more energy.
You just need to apply some science.
Priority number one for the world’s leading nations in Marrakech ought to be taking carbon out of heat.
Do you ever feel that the weather is worse on the weekend? Well you might be right!
