I can't recommend this short #film enough.

The Great Simplification - Film on energy, environment, and our future.

"We're all alive during the #carbon pulse" 🛢️ ⛽

We are draining Earth's "energy battery" 🔋 millions of times faster than it was trickle charged by photosynthesis ☀️ 🌳. https://www.thegreatsimplification.com/animations

I’m like a theoretical heat pump technician. I can tell you how to install, service, and maintain a heat pump, along with providing historical and design information and calculations, but I cannot do what HVAC techs do because I have the soft, dainty hands and wrists of a banker.

JOB LISTING.

I need to find another one of me, aka writer/autodidact/independent worker/interest in tech/education/applied sciences/engineering.

If you know anyone who wants to make up to $50/hour writing, instructing/researching, designing curriculum and graphics, etc. please let me know. It’s remote, work-from-home, and you can make up to $59,999. For some reason, the college allegedly breaks down and explodes if they pay you a penny more as a contractor.

Pleasantly surprised to discover today that Pinterest is an excellent source of easy-to-understand and well-designed heat pump diagrams, basic electrical engineering visuals, etc. This is making course design a lot easier.

Info on how heat pumps are performing during this winter storm is VERY useful for the course I’m presently designing & writing. Going to call some HVAC folx to see what the most common service & maintenance customer calls have been.
Also, air sealing is a top priority for building weatherization, but WAP has an article (19-5?) about not replacing windows for air sealing purposes. 😔

Mostly an ad trying to be an article but information is still interesting. The #HeatPump has a UEF of 4.02 which is pretty awesome. Should provide some good #EnergySavings. #EnergyEfficency #EnergyMastodon

Edit to add @cleantechnica since they're on here. Hopefully they'll post a bit if they see people tagging them.
