My latest energy advice gadget will help you understand if it’s safe to insulate your building

    Twenty-five years of giving energy saving advice have taught me that the most important tool in an energy advisor’s toolkit is their ability to give agency to the person receiving advice, so they can make informed decisions about their building in a psychologically safe space. I don’t believe that gadgets are a substitute […]
