Climate-proof your home

Jo Petroni

Coooling down the house!

Cooooling down the house!

Your house wasn't built for this summer.

40 degrees outside. No aircon, or an aircon that's costing you a fortune and still losing the fight.

A sun-facing window that feels like you're slow cooking.

Sound about right?

Most homes went up when summers were milder and energy was cheap. They were never meant to hold heat off. So now they trap it, and you end up cooking inside your own walls.

Here's the part nobody mentions: you don't need expensive kit to fix this. The people who built houses before air-conditioning existed knew how to keep them cool. Thick walls. Shutters closed at the right hour. Air moving where it should. Shade where it counts.

That knowledge still works. Better than ever now, actually, with the heat getting worse every year.

In 8 weeks I'll teach you to read your own house, find where it's failing you, and cool it down with methods that never show up on your electricity bill.

In a hurry? There's also a flash heatwave rescue section.

What you’ll learn

Homeowners guide to climate resilience, with regenerative architect Jo Petroni, in an 8-week self-paced summer-season course.

You'll know how heat gets in, where yours leaks comfort, and what to change first. Not theory. Your house, specifically.

Every method I teach runs on zero electricity. Shade, mass, airflow, timing. The opposite of buying another unit.

The same house that overheats in June freezes in January. The principles run both ways, so you fix both seasons at once.

You won't wait until the course ends to feel a difference. Week one gives you moves you can make today, in the heat, for free.

You'll understand the logic underneath, so you keep making good calls long after the course is over. No dependence on me.

A small group, all of us in the heat together, comparing what's working. Climate is easier to face with company.

Testimonials

"Hey, interwebs, @jo_petroni is for real. I showed her my lil house-shaped-house in Vermont on a very poorly art directed (by me) Zoom call, and she sent me very astute, very cool insights (as in climate cool) for eco-friendly temperature controls. And such lovely sketches..."

"So sensible, so practical, just what we need now - a new type of 'house call' whose time has come for "hothouse" homeowners everywhere. Doctor House (with expert solutions based on a phenomenal architectural and sustainability background) awaits!"
