Treated myself to this absolute beauty of a book. 14 case studies showing that available energy has always been the biggest impact on architecture and built form. 🤓🌍
Goes to show that todays questions about embodied carbon, the energy transition, passive performance, etc have always existed.

Love this National Electricity Grid visual. As recently as 2010, 70% of UK generation was from coal. As of last winter, it's gone for good!
In its place: 37.5% renewables, 14.3% nuclear, 7.4% biomass. Less than a third to go now from fossil fuels (gas power plants).

Look at this slide from 2023 showing European countries phasing out fossil fuel heating. We (UK) are probably joining them for new homes as soon as next year. It's not that radical! 🌍👷

Had the pleasure of visiting an EV charging superhub recently. No petrol in sight, 44 rapid chargers, some for busses and HGV's. Solar PV generation and storage all on site. Feels like the future. Always fun to see a project from work in the wild too: www.buildenergy.co.uk/projects/ins...
