This week the world has experienced the three hottest days on record. Earth is becoming hotter and more dangerous for everyone, everywhere. We must rise to the challenge of rising temperatures. Here’s my call to #ClimateAction: un.org/climatechange/…

A habitable planet is more important than the profits of a few fossil fuel companies. Pass it on. #ActOnClimate

Vuodesta 2015 alkaen kansainvälisestikin poikkeuksellinen kehitys on huolestuttanut. Macro-mistakes, esitimme @SofiePelsmakers & al kanssa. Toivottavasti tilannetta tarkastellaan erilaisten uudistusten yhteydessä.

@emarco14 sooo nice to catch up with you!

Amazing to present ‘Separateness in the Home: From Home-ness to Work-ness in a Post-Covid Environment’ at the Helsinki Urban Studies Conference in the session (Work)space, Society, and the Changing City. Fab to catch up with @SofiePelsmakers #time #housing #architec

The Sustainable Housing Design + Urban Physics research groups at @TampereUni are collaborating to find an excellent #postdoc candidate to apply for #MSCA funding with support via a MasterClass, starting May 14th. Please contact us @JonathonTaylo10 sustainablehousingdesign.com

@MarkSiddallRIBA @lzmddngs @RichardT135 @AECBnet yes it is close to the underfloor airbricks, but can negate the effect of any flor insulation between joists, exactly where heatloss and discomfort is highest...

@lzmddngs @RichardT135 @AECBnet Research into bypass for underfloor insulation is non-existent. The closest approximation is the great research by @SofiePelsmakers. That said, judgement informed by cold roof studies, would suggests that bypass risks are limited once more than, say, 300mm from vents.

@APriimagi @TampereUni I just saw the obituary... so so sad and shocking ... I only worked with him briefly on the Tech recruitment panel for the Institute of Advanced Studies last year. My heart goes out to all the people he touched, of which there are many...

Oof - Nick Boles on fire here. 🔥 Best Letter to the Editor I have read in a long time.

I had no idea about these numbers (ca 60% of research funds in Finland in architecture end up @TampereUni ) BUT I am not surprised to be part of Finland's MOST research active architecture school 😍 and contributing to a more sustainable tomorrow!

@Postigroup I would say half my post packages end up OUTSIDE Hervanta, even if I pre-select for it to be in Hervanta R-kioski - it is random, even if many lockers available. The time it takes me to get to Kaukjärvi on public transport & back is the same as getting to Helsinki! This is crazy!

@SofiePelsmakers 3/3 and pick up shipments. Areas nearest Postal outlet is at S-market Kaukajärvi. Therefore I understand your concerns on this issue, thank you for giving us feedback. I will pass the message on. /Eeva

Hi @Postigroup are you not ashamed how you are isolating communities in Hervanta from a local postoffice? And NO a postoffice that is 2 bus rides and 45 mins away AND BACK is not 'local'.

Going backwards... unbelievable... Finland plans ban on dumping snow into the sea - with garbage in it buff.ly/3UoH68P
