“After 50 years of worrying about energy consumption, we now recognise that our real problem is carbon emissions. After decades of designing to reduce operating energy and emissions, we now must deal with upfront carbon emissions. This presents real challenges for the Passive House world; we now have to rethink what we build, what we build out of, and how much we build. Efficiency matters, but so does sufficiency.”
