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
