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

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

Inspiring to hear about the success of mainstreamed #passivhaus policies for new build properties by the region and the councils in Brussels.

We could do this in West Yorkshire if we had the political will from our local Labour Councils.#COP26Glasgow #cop26 pic.twitter.com/HoasRpsYkS
