The most bizarre thing to me is that here in the Netherlands I can get a subsidy for a heat pump if it heats radiators, but not if it’s a multi split air to air heat pump. Because the latter also happens to be an air conditioner. It makes no sense.

And then the same people who moralise air conditioning will burn tons of gas all winter for heat.

Oh, and sensible design choices like eaves that block light from windows in summer are blocked by planners in many cases, bizarrely. The houses are brick ovens.

Anyway I got AC installed here in Utrecht last week, really enjoying it
