📬 Wrote a new post for my Heatshed newsletter on air conditioning in Europe and the U.S. and lessons we can learn from each other. I'll post monthly after this, but I had been mulling this one over all summer! heatshed.substack.com/p/air-condit... #airconditioning #extremeheat #heatwave

"Those who can install air conditioning in Europe and across the world will increasingly do so, so let’s make sure we don’t leave behind those who cannot."
