  1. #Starmer had a #GreenPledge that he spectacularly dropped before being elected.

    Because suddenly #Renewables , #Retrofit and #ClimateAction were too expensive to actually do in government or did chasing #Reform ‘s coattails mean conveniently #Labour no longer needed to care?

    On Friday they realised they lost whole swathes of voters across the country they’d taken for granted. Now they want them back less than a week later.

    Were there ever any workable plans? Have these been resurrected?

  7. "for #Canada to achieve its goal of net zero by 2050, about 600,000 homes will need to be retrofitted each year. Updated building codes mean new buildings produce lower emissions, but older ones require retrofitting, especially since 80% of buildings that will exist in 2050 have already been constructed."

  10. Working in #SocialHousing and #retrofit, I was delighted to be invited to attend this recent #ClimateMajority event concerning class and climate action at #UEA, #Norwich.

    There are many assumptions made about the intersection of these two issues…often negative.

    In my line of work I find those who have experienced the benefits of retrofit the greatest persuaders of others - this is true across spectrum

  12. I don’t think #ECO4 was responsibly managed by the energy companies…that was largely due to the #Tories leaving them to their own devices.

    But the #retrofit work cannot overnight be picked up by other schemes.

    #DESNZ thinks it can suddenly offer a tonne of money to local authorities and housing associations (previously linked to ECO4) with a ridiculous short window to spend it.

    #Labour are showing they have no idea how to manage large scale projects and budgets.

  13. I have both of Marion's "Residential Retrofit" books, so already knew this would be a good episode, even then it blew me away. Myth busting that low energy buildings require the occupant to "manage" their environment, and the "rebound effect" is a non-issue as once energy demand has been reduced by 80%, even doubling that still works out to be less energy.

  14. Feeeediverse!

    Hat noch jemand alte Leuchtmittel von Martin Movinglights rumfliegen, und würde die für schmales Geld an ein kleines nettes freies Theater mit wenig Förderung verkaufen?

    Martin Mac TW1, die Leuchtmittel sind PGJX-50 mit 1200 W.

    Oder weiß jemand, ob es Ersatz oder Retrofit dafür gibt? Oder ob man einen anderen Sockel und ein anderes Leuchtmittel einbauen kann?

    UPDATE 👇👇

  15. I keep posting my #retrofit stuff to bsky as that seems to be where the other #passivehouse people are but ought to post them here also:

    Got my work cut out for the weekend. Bedroom bay window is a stud wall filled with brick off cuts. To be insulated with 160mm of the finest German made woodfibre. New book for if I get bored too. More details in alt text.

    Current U-value is ~2.1W/(m²K), will be ~0.22W/(m²K)

    From the thermal image, can see how bad the problem is. The detail is showing a horizontal midsection slice, it's also more complex as this is a curved wall. I hope to also insulate the part of the wall between the floor joists too.

  16. Even so, I saw first hand the potential for poor design, installation and regulatory compliance.

    The industry is very fragmented and too much trust was put in consultants to have oversight of projects for #DESNZ. These consultants rarely had to go to site and had no trade/on the tools knowledge of #retrofit installation.

    Subcontracting is another big issue. The accreditations might have been held by a ‘principal installer’ but that was meaningless in terms of who did the actual work.

  20. Wer an der Travemünder Straße in den unscheinbaren Remisenhof einbiegt – direkt am Pankeweg, nahe der Osloer Straße – entdeckt ein Kleinod: einen zweistöckigen Vintage-Showroom, der wie eine Zeitkapsel wirkt. Ein orangefarbenes „W“ prangt an dem gelben Backsteingebäude und zeigt, welche poppig-bunte Welt im Inneren wartet: Möbel, Lampen und Accessoires aus den 1950er bis 70er Jahren, liebevoll restauriert, stilsicher arrangiert, strahlen den Charme vergangener Jahrzehnte aus – ohne dabei angestaubt zu wirken. Willkommen bei Frau Wunderwald.

  22. Ain’t gonna be an architect but I do have an #mvhr plan. Boxing in ducts in the corner of front/rear and party walls seem to be my easiest option.

  23. I know writing a letter to a newspaper won’t change a damn thing…I don’t even know who bothers to read the letters page when we have BTL commenting on most articles.

    But I could think of no other medium to express myself in response to #Starmer’s words last week during #Cop29 that he will “not [be] telling people how to live their lives”.

  24. Simon Francis, a coordinator at the End Fuel Poverty Coalition, said:

    “The only way to bring down bills permanently is through investment in insulation, home improvements, renewables and infrastructure which will free us from volatile gas prices for ever. But in the budget, the chancellor only confirmed half the spending commitment Labour pledged in their manifesto to the warm homes plan.”

  25. Not sure how many #MVHR (or #passivehouse) nerds there are on here but I'm hopefully (finally) getting my roof done soon. At some point in the future I'd like to install an MVHR unit in the loft (1-2 years). Would it be silly to install the roof supply/exhaust terminals at the same time as the new roof? Like £200-300 for them vs the £1000+ for scaffolding to install down the line.

  29. 1978: Die erste Wärmeschutzverordnung orientiert sich noch nicht an kWh/m², sie führte zwar Anforderungen an den Wärmeschutz von Gebäuden ein, aber noch keine konkreten Energieverbrauchsgrenzwerte.

    1984: Auch die zweite wird nicht in kWh/m² ausgedrückt.

    1995: Auch die dritte gibt keine genauen kWh/m²-Werte vor.

    2002: Mit der Energieeinsparverordnung (EnEV) 2002 wurde eine Obergrenze von ca. 100 kWh/m² für Neubauten eingeführt.

    2009: Mit der EnEV 2009 wurde der zulässige Jahresprimärenergiebedarf für Neubauten um ca. 30 % gesenkt. Das ergibt einen Richtwert von ca. 70 kWh/m².

    2014: Die EnEV 2014 senkte den Jahres-Primärenergiebedarf erneut um 25 %, was einem Grenzwert von ca. 52,5 kWh/m² entspricht.

    2016: Mit der EnEV 2016, wurde der Primärenergiebedarf nochmals um durchschnittlich 25 % gesenkt. Das ergibt einen Richtwert von ca. 40 kWh/m².

    2021: Mit dem Gebäudeenergiegesetz (GEG) bleibt der Jahres-Primärenergiebedarf grob gesagt bei den Werten der EnEV 2016.

  30. So tonight I went to the #Norwich South hustings at #UEA.

    Sadly Clive Lewis, current #Labour MP was a no show…they sent the local Labour councillor instead, who struggled to get from one end of a sentence to the other.

    #Green Party candidate Jamie Osborn was very strong and well received…particularly on rent reforms, #Trans and #Non-binary rights and #Retrofit.

    The #LibDem Sean Bennett was really solid and did well on #NHS and #EU…but crowd not receptive.

    So what about Tory and Reform…

  31. I'm overjoyed to have just been offered the role of Heat and Retrofit Coordinator at Community Energy England! 🥳

    By my calcs we’ve not quite exceeded £1 for any one day yet, although today was very close, & some of that is actually for hot 💦 (cos the hot water heat pump is stealing heat from the house). Shame there’s not an easy way to also monitor heat output to get a COP! 💪

  35. It looks like a local Tesla Supercharger near me has been upgraded with the CCS1 retrofit. This Supercharger is way closer to me than the nearest Electrify America.

    I might check it out this weekend. Though I likely won’t need a charge so will probably leave the stations alone.

    Given there’s already people complaining about cheaper EVs using high power chargers, I expect to catch grief when I do use it.

  36. 👀 TIL #Energiesprong - a deep home retrofit focussing on main components such as wall and roof insulation, window, air quality, and smart heat recovery, to achieve a net-zero energy house.

    An Energiesprong retrofit home can generate the total amount of energy that is required for heating, hot water, lights, and all electrical appliances resulting in a warmer and more comfortable home.

    This is achieved by implementing prefabricated external facades, insulated roofs with solar panels for energy reserves, modern home heating, and installation of smart ventilation and cooling systems.

    The entire project can be completed in less than 10 days allowing the occupant to stay home during renovations without the need to move out.
