We store 97.6 kg CO2 per m2 in prefabricated straw panels. Using just 25% of the 140 million tons of straw produced annually in North America, we could build 800 million m2 of highly insulated wall surface each year. That corresponds to 78 billion kg of CO2 sequestered annually. pic.twitter.com/YGJ7dr6kTT

This morning I visited Agar Grove with @SadiqKhan and @sabrodrigues61 to see the brand new council homes being built by @CamdenCouncil and funded by @MayorofLondon. It’s the largest Passivhaus development in the UK, meaning the homes are of the highest sustainability standards. pic.twitter.com/AuTniZBXFC

We've had a brilliant day showing students from @climate_college around for the Passivhaus Open Days - our Kirkburton and Cre8 Barn/ Stirley Farm projects. The best comment was from a student wondering whether the MVHR was on as it was so quiet :) pic.twitter.com/eDWprrHhH5
