One particular focus of the show was around reducing emissions from your home with reference to space heating and cooking within the home. We discussed the most efficient options (including zero emissions options) for air-conditioners and cooktops as well as getting technical on the physics of heat transfer. To hear all the advice as well as some nerdy discussion, make sure you have a listen to the show here.
