Making a brand new house low-carbon costs either £5k if built like that, or £20k to householder after, for retrofit. If kitted out at construction, inconvenience + some cost borne by housebuilder; if later, all by homeowner. Guess which happens in UK? https://t.co/JswFrKGJtM
Actually,we heat our passive house with 1(one) 2.2 kW Minisplit-unit with an investment of less than 2500€ incl. installation.Even if you would use 2 of these (you'd never need more in a #Passivhaus), it's extraordinarely cheap. Total el consumption: 1072(heating)+56kWh(cooling)
Note:Passive House is a method,not a product of a corporation :-). Everybody can learn to build a #Passivhaus. @the_iPHA and it's affiliates are here, to assist with the learning process. The certification is a voluntary quality assurance; which is quite important for success.
Nice illustration.
30 yrs ago I wouldn't have believed that we will destroy our civilization this way. Because it's so easy to avoid ... as we have shown 30 yrs ago. And still being attacked just for doing that.
I’ve just emailed @TanDhesi asking them to call for a ban on #supertrawlers fishing in UK Marine Protected Areas. Is your MP speaking up for vulnerable marine life? Urge them to #ProtectTheOceans > https://t.co/CG9lTQbO0J
We've been asked about specific examples of where Spaceloft Aerogel can be used. There are industrial, commercial, and residential applications.
Also, in mobile homes, vans, camper vans. Spaceloft is the ultimate in thermal protection.
