Another one of our long reads, just last year we took a look at the deep #retrofit of a 1930s dwelling on the Hampshire coast. It provides a pitch-perfect example of how to transform old dwellings while preserving their original structure and minimising #EmbodiedCarbon utterly transforming the living space without the need for an extension, and creating a cosy home that uses two-thirds less energy than before.

The new issue of Passive House Plus is here

Featuring articles on the Grenfell Tower tragedy, the housing crisis and our usual mix of spectacular passive house projects.

@passivehouseplus The #UK government is now free from #EU law preventing #VAT reductions on #retrofit projects. Changing the #tax regimes will certainly promote more retrofits going further with #insulation levels etc Why are we subsidising the building of poor performing new builds as opposed to #deepgreen #retrofits?
