I love our new furnace. We just got heating oil. In two years, that two full winters, we have only used 147 gallons of oil. They've been cold winters, too.

Our old furnace would use 100 gallons a month or so.

This furnace is energy efficient and has heat exchangers to recover heat from our home.

I'm amazed.

#Weatherization, mainly air gaps, insulation & floor foam insulation and an #EnergyEfficient furnace not only save the #Climate, but it's giving us more income/savings. #ClimateChange

Copywriting updates for a Retrofit Install Technician course. Today's topic is, Common Types of Windows and Where to Find Them. 🐉

Even with the mathematical bare minimum, explaining basic electrical for HVAC is a lot.

It's going to be very boots-on-the-ground, shoe scuffing research.

It's tough, and I also kind of love it.

Get your rubber gloves on, it's time to write about all things electrical safety. Today's research guide dog has been brought to you by Princeton's EHS.

Unintentionally keeping odd hours while designing and writing this HVAC course.

Need some new tunes. Coffee...coffee and new tunes.

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.

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. 😔

Does anyone have any stats on the effectiveness of plastic film covering on windows? Is it worth the time say for someone living in Vermont with moderately decent windows? #EnergyEfficiency #Weatherization

Someone fell asleep watching me eat baby carrots with Dijon mustard during a ccASHP: Efficacy and Building Readiness webinar.
