QuixoticgeekI don't think this is getting the coverage it needs. Scottish government to require passivhaus standard for all new build homes. This is big. Really big. Growing out of lessons from the 70's oil crisis. Passivhaus buildings use very little energy to heat, or to cool. We've known how to do this for decades. It's gross negligence from all western governments that the same is not true of all new builds in the developed world.
🇨🇭CanniuanosOnly a tangent but I find it notably amusing that we in 🇨🇭 use the term Minergie (minimal energy) while you use the German Passivhaus.

Probably convenience of naming. I see that Passivhaus is literally “passive house”.
Anyway. This needs to be done (properly) in the rest of the UK too; but with this shower of Tories running things, I don't see it happening.
