💙 2025 is off to a very positive start with the publication of the Scottish Passivhaus Equivalent Working Group Report.

🙌The consensus position aligns closely with our own recommendations and we're hopeful will be adopted by the Scottish Government.

Love this image of the Bro Dyfi Community Renewables site. This was the first community owned wind turbine in the UK, and they've now added 300kW of Solar PV to the site. Every town and village in the country should replicate this combo.

So far. I’m loving BlueSky and not missing X. It’s how Twitter used to be 3-4 years ago.

Pre-heater kicked in on our MVHR units tonight, due to low outside temperature, to protect the passive heat exchanger from freezing up.

❄️ Frosty outside, ideal conditions to check out any thermal bridges around the house. All looking good in our passivhaus 👌

Unsurprisingly Midge 🐶 has the largest temperature range

@bobbyllew.bsky.social A friend has a 7 year old 40kWh Zoe with broken electric motor. He wants to sell the car to allow the battery to be repurposed.
Any ideas where he can do this ?
