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.
JanPV@quixoticgeek Well said! When we consider the effects on the planet, not to mention on our bills, this was always criminal. Even the latest UK building standards are woeful in comparison to what can be achieved. The whole damned system needs to be turned over and given a good shake. Same old will not do from now on.
