Are passive buildings cool enough? The world is heating up and so are our buildings, #passivehouse ones included. Engineer Cara Sloat's cool analysis takes on this hot topic.

one of the things i am really looking forward too with the social housing developer is opportunities for educating the public - and specifically city and state leaders - on the incredible benefits & co-benefits of passivhaus - through events like @ipha.bsky.social's open days
