To lower carbon footprint, Swedish house factory Jörnträhus recently moved to masonite-web studs and blown-in wood fibre insulation. But sadly they've gone out of business.
I’m not an HVAC engineer (and maybe I’m misunderstanding this) but it doesn’t seem smart to have the supply feeding directly into the return
Designed by Modernist architect Richard Neutra in 1928, with limited collaboration from another Modernist icon, Rudolph Schindler, the landmark Jardinette Apartments in Hollywood have finally been restored.
Neutra-designed architectural gem restored after hiding in plain sight for nearly 100 years
