🤩 Stars in our eyes!
More of the Passivhaus retrofit project that is starring in Guy Martin's House Without Bills on Channel 4 on Monday 9 February at 9pm!
While watching RTÉ's "Heat my Home", I was wishing that there was going to be a UK equivalent. Seems like Channel4 had read my mind.
Not only with a great presenter like Guy Martin, but also @aecb.bsky.social Greater Manchester's local group ran by Progress in Practice
Looking forward to watching.

I don't know whether it's gradual policy changes made after Grenfell but is it becoming harder to use natural materials? Is Building Control putting up more barriers? Or is it harder to insure an ecological building?
In my latest podcast I chat to Dr. James Glocking.

With a open loop compensated UFH system delivering >50W/m2 peak load you can expect SCOP of 4-5. The spark gap, or ratio in price between gas and electric, is about 4.
So you can expect cost/unit heat to be 20-50% cheaper with a heat pump.
