November 2nd, 2021
Here are the top tweets from last week!
I moved back to Bute this Summer to a brand new development of #Passivehouse homes. Not only is the view spectacular but having no central heating has cut our energy use significantly. Our community is starting to come together and I can’t wait to see what’s next. pic.twitter.com/2C19bTcWGn

Did you know the new Hull Maritime visitor centre at North End Shipyard looks to achieve ‘Passivhaus’ - requiring little, if any, conventional heating with energy savings of up to 90% compared with a typical new building?

Great proposal from Alex Rowley MSP - he is planning legislation to introduce Passivhaus standards to all new build housing. This will cut emissions and energy bills and make homes healthier and more comfortable to live in. https://t.co/F2vbItoP3P

Passivhaus is good but deep retrofit is even better - and an opportunity for Architects to help avert climate disaster. Just don’t do shallow retrofits that make little difference & lock-in high emissions for decades#retrofit #lowcarbon #EnerPHithttps://t.co/2wRiuHm6N6
