Wow I know some local health officials and public leaders who need to read this...I've never seen such an effort to ignore/block/twist data in my 30+ year career. I just keep pressing. Science facts/numbers (calibrated!) for the win. We won't back down.

The WM12 Beta v1.0 window mount energy recovery ventilator is now complete and fully functional. It gets 60 cfm, est. 85% efficiency and 42.4 dBa noise on max power with the extra little green pipe segments (calculated from 43.5 reading and 37 background).

BREAKING: we took over a speech by Senator Joe Manchin. We humiliated him. We made him leave his seat in shame. This man is a murderer. He incinerates his own grandchildren for profit. He belongs in The Hague. Not in high society.

Sobering satellite imagery of the wildfire outbreak rapidly escalating across Southern California. This is getting bad.

Updated Air Purifier Analysis Refined analysis for classrooms (38 dB background noise, 200 CFM, 28 students). Focus on dust CADR for ASHRAE 241 and ensure total noise max 45 dB. Compare quieter vs. louder models with new data. Check it ou #ASHRAE241 #45dB 👇

“Air flows and mixes in an enclosed space… Air distribution is affected by room geometry, furniture, presence and movement of people, and supply-exhaust air flow design.” Breathing by people (“sources”) also affects air distribution at close contact. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Climate change is the kitchen table issue of our lifetimes, threatening the American dream, driving up inflation, food prices, housing costs, healthcare, immigration, utility bills. That it's still treated like a niche side issue is insane. heated.world/p/everyones-he…
