The EU is making progress in decarbonising but its not nearly fast enough... In the 2nd quarter of 2024, the EU’s greenhouse gas emissions decreased by 2.6% compared to the same period the year before. 🧪 How did your country do? europa.eu/!FqpNtD #GHGs #ClimateCrisis #ZeroEmissions #CleanEnergy

Teaching our #TUGraz master students about #Passivhaus #Klimaaktiv and heat recovery #ventilation systems today, at my favourite school #VSMariagrün in Graz 🇦🇹. Paradoxically, building services rooms are (for good reason) typically confined unventilated spaces, hence why I'm #SaltingTheVibes ...

The public read claims like, "As energy savings equals emissions reductions, the PH is a sustainable alternative to conventional construction." Leading them to believe their detached concrete, steel & foam PH in the countryside is somehow sustainable. We can and should do better than this.

Prof. Rob McLeod @robscot.bsky.social · 14/11/2023

Given the increasing transparency of LCA reporting and also the interoperability between LCA, BIM and energy simulation tools, it would be fairly straightforward to incorporate per building and per occupant upfront and C2C emission benchmarks in existing performance standards and regulations.

Let that sink in for a minute... "The level of criminal incompetence exposed by recent witnesses to the UK COVID-19 Inquiry, chaired by Baroness Heather Hallett, has proven that many, if not most, of over 230 000 deaths were preventable." hubs.li/Q028szNh0
