I’ve been publishing a magazine on how to make buildings sustainable since 2003. I’m terrible at social media - it doesn’t come naturally to me - but I have a few ideas that might help. First, we need to clearly define what we do and don’t mean by sustainable. Confusion erodes confidence. 1)

We need more Passivhaus Designers and Tradespeople. So pleased that another group of amazing people found success and passed their Passivhaus exam with flying colours.

If you’d like to know how you design buildings that close performance gaps and improve comfort why not come to the Thermal Bypass Workshop I’m delivering next week. www.greenregister.org.uk/events/event...

Question; Which physicist bass and singer player should I add to a this band: Piano: Brian Cox Guitar: Brian May Drums: Richard Feynman

Latest issue of @phplus.bsky.social mag seems to be particularly good. I won't summarise even if I could, just read it. passivehouseplus.co.uk/subscribe Passivhaus Extra care Carbon first, fabric second Cutting the crap about creative carbon accounting and don't skip the editor's letter.

According to Sotheby's Real Estate, the hot design trend of 2024 is comfort, and the superrich are looking for "comfort, ease, and quiet luxury." But research shows that you get true comfort from warm walls, good windows, and fresh air, which is what you get from #passivhaus.

In a Christmas special of the Zero Ambitions podcast, we interview authors Lenny Antonelli and Andrew Simmonds about how Mass Timber is wonderful, but we have to use it carefully, thinking of simplicity, sufficiency, circularity and efficiency.

The first certified Passivhaus in Llangollen, Denbighshire. A Christmas present which has been along time coming for super clients. Thanks @Kym_Mead

Good to re-visit Stewart Brand's 'How buildings learn' What happens to buildings after they're built. Do architects care about people or do they only care about their 'art'? www.youtube.com/watch?v=maTk...

…diving into my Time Machine this evening …what field tests and laboratory research has been done on foam insulation: 1) dimensional stability/shrinkage over time 2) impact of joint types upon heat loss If you know of research on this then give me pointers. Ta!
