​And news of an affordable Passivhaus ​development in the UK here: https://inhabitat.com/groundbreaking-passivhaus-development-features-ultra-green-homes-that-you-can-actually-afford/ ​

And a great story here about Fridtjof Nanse, possible creator of the first Passivehouse, which floated, and went to both the Arctic and Antarctic over a hundred years ago. While the mess on Scott's ship was underneath the ponies they were taking to Antarctica, Amundsen was staying in comfort on the Fram, with high insulation and airtightness. It also had a windmill generating electricity for the lights inside.
