We can live comfortably in a house at 14 or 15°, “by getting used to, dressing and compensating“, explain Geoffrey Van Moeseke, architect. “There are times when we feel cold. The trick behind Slow Heat is taking control of the equipment and listening to your body. If my hands are cold, for example, how can I meet this need without heating tons of material, cubic meters of air, with a system that brings gas from the other side of the planet, to a few square centimeters of skin?“
It is therefore a question of finding solutions for the different needs, of take the time to observe yourself and change your habits to, little by little, see where we arrive.
This was the whole point of the three-year research project Slow Heat, supported by the Brussels Region, with the central question: how far can we go? Are the limits physiological, building health, social, acceptance, pressure? What facilitates this change and what hinders it?
“We demonstrated that we might go further than we initially thought possible and now, we are trying to share, talk regarding it and convince people that it is possible.“.
