Clean air?
Sir,—T. de G. Robilliard’s concern lest the banishment of the unusual brown atmosphere of Christchurch results in greater heat losses to the skies (June 29) was, in the reverse sense, to the forefront of the ideology of the 1930 s Sunlight League. They emphasised that houses should be built to the sun and that city smoke kept solar heat out. The Clean Air Society says that welli insulated buildings will minimise heat losses and that the resulting cleaner air will let through more sunshine to heat the growing number of solar collectors. At the same time the need to clean the grime from the collectors for solar heaters at present is a detrimental operating factor. When we get rid of the smoke there will be less cleaning required. — Yours, PATRICK NEARY. July 2, 1978.
