gwagner,

…if you invest in some insulation and perhaps even a heat pump & induction stove to cut the gas line.

@gwagner That may be the worst energy efficiency rating I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen some bad ones.

gwagner,

@roadskater Diane von Furstenberg has you covered

Wow. Do they just pump carbon directly into the air here?

(And here I was chastising my boss / Columbia for blasting the heat in my office so that it is 90degF, leaving me and my colleagues little alternative but to throw open all the windows, on seasonably cool fall days. Boss said small beans we’ll burn more carbon going to AGU in SFO, so good thing I’ve been sitting that one out the last few years. 🧐)

@atthenius @gwagner @roadskater you are right and small beans boss is wrong. If small beans boss was the only one with that attitude it would be conscionable.

There is this underground thermal energy map that says my building cannot 100% use this south but maybe it can use it 50%?

@atthenius @gwagner @roadskater my building has an A efficiency rating because we switched to gas.

gwagner,

@Iragersh All relative (quite literally).

A decade ago, when our lease was up w Columbia, we all toured Knox Hall w its geothermal hvac wells and begged them to be sustainable landlords.

They declined. Renovated us w/o any HVAC update… now just as the renovation of the building closes, Columbia decides to ‘update’ our system… maybe… over the next year.

In the interim::: it’s tiki party day every day in my office with beach ware.

@gwagner I have seen the unicorn, and god is it ever ugly.

@roadskater @gwagner They probably still have the old windows from the 1900s or even earlier and likely there is no insulation in the attic.

@energisch_ @roadskater @gwagner Do they even have windows? That might just be a building with no walls, open to the elements. 😂
