CLIMATE CHANGE

A recent Newspoll survey of 1700 people shows a disturbing trend: 59% Australians believe that to make a house comfortable the #1 solution is air conditioning. Not only is the expensive to buy and install, but it means that Australians have large, on-going cooling (and heating) running costs (and let's not even think about the greenhouse gas emissions!)

Recently Think Brick Australia conducted a small study to compare how the 2nd generation thermal modelling software programs AccuRate (developed by the CSIRO) and BERSPro (developed by Solar Logic Pty Ltd) rated various walling constructions in Australia's capital cities.

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and in this case, Think Brick Australia is sincerely flattered, but even more excited!
