    I wonder why the show homes have wood burners? They are intense sources of particle pollution - even worse than cars. @mumsforlungs has a lot of information about that.
    I also could not find any information on plug-in solar panels for smaller spaces such as balconies and sheds and gardens. They are all the rage in Germany - but it's difficult to find any information, let alone building specialists, who can inform and deal with that. Can you help?

      Completely agree about wood burners.

    Glad to see that at least one talk applies to tenants. This is all so worrying :(
