The distinction between air temperature and radiant temprature is something most people never think about but feel constantly. That 19C room with warm walls feeling better than a 21C room with cold ones perfectly captures why so many heating upgrades fail to deliver confort. People add more heat when they actually need better insulation. The point about convection loops stirring dust in poorly insulated rooms is also underappreciated, it explaines why some rooms just feel stuffy even when theromostat says everything's fine.
I loved reading this, and the part about the effect of heat on the nervous system is fascinating. As someone with adhd I am so intrigued by how important good place making is to our wellbeing.

Very interesting read- I open windows every morning and in the bathroom after showers. I always thought cavity wall insulation was bad.
Eradicating the awful chemicals in our homes, particularly older ones is a challenge.
Definitely a challenge, but hopefully I can help. M x

It's everything! Health starts where you wake up, not with gyms and green juices. M x
