You reckon MVHR is a bad thing?(assuming that we don't get anywhere near passivhaus standards any time soon)
We airthighted our home and whacked MVHR in the loft - mainly because of proximity to toxic smoke from wood burners on the canal - but the two things combined have reduced our heating bill

It's October and I've just clocked up 7 years in my #Passivhaus. I can't believe it. And Chris has long since retired!
N.B. Here's a podcast I made after 5 years, reflecting on the whole house-building experience - www.houseplanninghelp.com/336.

I’ve very much neglected this account. General life pondering and rubbish-talking now happen on my other account. Not sure how many of the Passivhaus/low-carbon/low-impact construction people are still active on here, but just in case: Hello! [waves].

Spanish social housing outclasses American and Canadian social housing and Mike explains why. Also, they are often #Passivhaus certified so super energy efficient, affordable and comfortable.
i know politicians don't want to hear it - but if you actually want more family sized homes, the answer isn't increased FAR - it's legalizing taller point access blocks, and not limiting the number of instances per lot.

dismantle the ballroom (i doubt it ever gets built), replace the east wing with a mass timber + passivhaus office building
Just one question, about the White House: if the Democrats win in 2029, tear down the ballroom, and rebuild the East Wing - are they still going to install double-hung windows or are they going to at least upgrade to tilt-and-turn?

Auch wenn es hier im Passivhaus noch warm genug ist: wenn tagsüber Solarstrom übrig ist, schalte ich die LL-WP an und speichere die Wärme im Haus.
Die Arbeitszahl ist zudem im Moment höher, als dann, wenn man heizen muss, weil es sonst zu kalt wird.

I had a chance to tour the Solis passive house apartment building in Seattle this past weekend.
It's interesting as a #passivhaus in the middle of Capitol Hill, with a view to another green building icon, the Bullitt Centre
>> The passive part is great,
but what caught my eye was the stair.
