The new Carbon Majors report claims that just a few big companies are responsible for 80% of carbon emissions. But it is really about us; It’s the choices we make, the way we live, the things we buy, and the politicians we elect. lloydalter.substack.com/p/stop-blaming…
After I was invited to speak at the 27th International Passive House Conference, I submitted a paper about my proposed talk, "Why Fabric Remains First," where I attempt to challenge those who say "heat pumps first." Here it is! lloydalter.substack.com/p/why-fabric-r…
I originally titled this post, "My book is coming out soon, and I'm terrified," but spouse Kelly said I should be positive! But I wrote this book for everyone. Upfront carbon is emitted making everything from iPhones to hamburgers. lloydalter.substack.com/p/why-everyone…
The recent International Passive House conference focused on retrofit, and in my presentation, I questioned whether we would ever need another new office building, given the current glut caused by hybrid work and the coming impact of the AI revolution. lloydalter.substack.com/p/retrofit-and…
I have never struggled as much with a presentation as I did for this one for the Passive House conference in Innsbruck; I threw out a few versions over the last month and locked myself in my hotel room the day before the conference to figure it all out. lloydalter.substack.com/p/on-sufficien…
There was only one person I actively sought out in London, and that was Steve Webb of Webb Yates Engineers because I was so intrigued by what he is doing with stone and how it could replace concrete in many buildings. I was not disappointed. lloydalter.substack.com/p/architects-a…
What a great experience for the students. 'Less stuff, more joy'. We could all try to embrace that message more. Well done @lloydalter @ArchitypeUK.

One thing that impresses me about London is that they bury all the wires and cables instead of begriming the city with poles and wires as they do in Toronto. What a difference it makes. open.substack.com/pub/lloydalter…

All the bathrooms of the future are nothing more than bathrooms of the present with fancy screens, singing shower heads and electronics, and never deal with the fundamentals of washing and waste, water and pollution and resources. My attempt: open.substack.com/pub/lloydalter…
70 years ago André Malraux proposed a "museum without walls" suggesting that looking at photographs could be a richer experience than the real thing. I wonder if new tech like Apple goggles would make it work even better. lloydalter.substack.com/p/between-the-…
I have spent a lot of time in the bathroom lately, covering everything from the sink to the bidet, and today how we got our toilets. It's a story of one of the greatest misallocation of resources in history. lloydalter.substack.com/p/we-should-re…
This social housing project by @MontgomerySisam Architects doesn't look like your typical Canadian building, with its simple form and punched windows. It's an example of what I've called "radical simplicity." lloydalter.substack.com/p/social-housi…
Canada's Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault is under attack for suggesting that adding more roads just induces demand. He calls for more transit and active transport. The country goes wild, calling it "the slippery slope to climate tyranny." lloydalter.substack.com/p/the-war-on-c…
While researching for a lecture on retrofit, I found an old post of mine about the Union Carbide Building, demolished for Norman Foster's clunkiest and ugliest building ever. Now that we can see what we are getting, here is a reminder of what we have lost. lloydalter.substack.com/p/bonus-270-pa…
I don't know who thought having a shower while standing on soapy wet curved metal was a good idea, but it isn't and causes thousands of injuries every year. lloydalter.substack.com/p/how-careless…

Every year I go to the Canadian International Auto Show with my tape measure to see how high the front ends of the pickups are, and this year we have a new winner: The GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate, which clocks in at 5'-1". lloydalter.substack.com/p/car-and-truc…

So some hack Toronto architect is knocking off (badly) Studio Gang's Aqua Tower on Dundas opposite the AGO and doing radiator fins that will waste energy, and make the first few feet of the apartment uninhabitable. Gimme a thermal break already, we shouldn't be doing this in 2024

We’re assured that Americans “love” driving, “choose” to drive everywhere. Then why is the state so worried that many of us would like alternatives that they won’t allow them to be studied or included in planning? This is state capture by the auto industry.
AZ GOP are attempting to make science illegal, trying to pass legislation to make even studying alternatives to automobile dependence illegal. This is f*cking insane.
How could anyone with an iota of empathy for Bristol think that these 9 and 11 storey blocks behind the iconic listed cranes @mshedbristol are acceptable? The current Labour mayor and administration supports this destruction of our historic skyline - use your vote wisely!
The next step when you are focused on land use, is eating less meat or replacing it. That would save ~75% of farmland, orders of magnitude more than what solar could ever need. And finally: why not combine solar and agriculture? #Agrivoltaics en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agrivolta…
Aviation is 10% of U.K. CO2 emissions, and has a substantial (but uncounted) additional warming effect. Growth in activity has always outstripped efficiency improvements, increasing total emissions.
The fact that short and long haul flights are more efficient than a normal gas car is quite remarkable. It’s for this, and many other reasons, that I really don’t think banning or restricting flights to combat climate change is a good idea at all.

Meme for an upcoming talk on Individual and Collective action on Climate Change... 😅
This is such a fun meme to work with - perfect for the kind of discourse-based research I do!😂 🧵Here's a thread using the same meme to portray a bunch of other climate policy debates I've studied through a critical political economy and discourse-based lens...
Meme for an upcoming talk on Individual and Collective action on Climate Change... 😅
Not only should posted speed limits in all school zones be reduced to 30 km / hr, the @cityoftoronto should implement measures to reduce associated design speeds and, where necessary, accommodate for the rebalancing of modal splits. Cc: @PaulaFletcherTO and @TrusteeSara.
Cool! Hey @Peter_Tabuns as my MPP could you maybe help me and the community convince your @TDNDP’s elected municipal rep to reduce the speeds of several stretches of city school zones from 40 to 30 on Jones Av; Donlands Av; Gerrard St E; Carlaw Av; Dundas St E & Broadview Av.
I really like the two small brown midrises at the feet of the big WZMH Tower Hill buildings...I imagine the south views in the summer over the ravine would be something else.
I voted Chow in the Ford-Tory-Chow election I often think about how much further ahead we might have been had she become Mayor that much earlier
Open for the season! 80% of park washrooms are open—earlier than expected. The remaining will be opened over the next week. We are ahead of schedule this year thanks to the tremendous efforts of City staff.
According to the replies to this post, this is “communism”.
I cannot stress enough how hard it is to build and operate transit that's useful when places look like this...
