Appropriate technology in action. And as a bonus, textile insulation could use material from all those fast fashion clothes dumped in the desert or otherwise abandoned to dissolve into microplastics :/
Fun fact, adding textiles to walls for insulation is where we get the term “furring” from.
I wish awnings were more common. Such a simple way to block out midday or afternoon sun in the hot summer.
Technology Connections feels similarly!
That’s where I got the idea from! Excellent channel.
Awnings are amazing and you can actually adjust them seasonally - extend them fully in summer to block heat, then retract them in winter to let that free solar heat in through your windows (just installed some last year and my cooling costs droped significantly).
