Kevin Leecaster<p>While being resistance heating it is obviously not as efficient as heat pumps, but if the price is good for these thin panels of heat trace that can safely be installed behind wallpaper are inexpensive enough I'd see some good uses for it in retrofitting older buildings in order to help <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/ElectrifyEverything" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ElectrifyEverything</span></a> </p><p>I especially like the zoning possibilities that would only increase the room temperatures when occupied.<br><a href="https://www.warmingsurfaces.com/_files/ugd/0395b2_14f3158f133f4b36bcbb8c87d04ff06a.pdf?index=true" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">warmingsurfaces.com/_files/ugd</span><span class="invisible">/0395b2_14f3158f133f4b36bcbb8c87d04ff06a.pdf?index=true</span></a></p>

Dan Neuman 🇨🇦<p>Had an extremely disappointing conversation with an HVAC guy today, about replacing our condo unit's aging A/C with a heat pump. Space and power constrains make it challenging to install one right now. The extra power into our unit would be needed for the backup heating, otherwise we would still be dependent on methane, which we want to phase out.</p><p>So there isn't anything useful for us on the market right now, and we have to go with a straight replacement, relying on methane for heating for the next 15 years. I don't know how we're going to fix this.</p><p><a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/ClimateAction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateAction</span></a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/ElectrifyEverything" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ElectrifyEverything</span></a></p>

So the problem is that all these trucks are concentrated in one place and not distributed between multiple companies.</p><p>Overall emissions due to e-commerce are probably lower than without because it is more efficient to move one vehicle with multiple parcels than it is to have people take individual vehicles out to buy things.</p><p>The problem goes away once we have electric trucks. <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/ElectrifyEverything" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ElectrifyEverything</span></a></p>
