Brilliant to attend the opening of the Fletcher Living #LowCO project with @ChrisPenknz and other dignitaries. Over their lifetimes these homes will emit 7x less CO2 than the avg NZ new build, which is the reduction we need to comply with our Paris Agreement commitments

@umairh To be fair this is not the work of all humans. There are plenty of humans out there who have contributed almost nothing to this problem and many who have fought it for years. Unfortunately one wealthy person can out consume thousands of folks living simply.

The world's on fire--literally. Look at Sicily. Greece. Canada. Oceans are boiling. Emissions are rising. I'm not homesick or lovesick--I’m planetsick. Furious at what we've done. Our planet is dying and we're to blame. Distinctions don’t matter. We did it. Homo sapiens. 1/6

Fantastic to see site prep underway on our Queensberry Hills #passivehouse project. A very special site with breathtaking views and spectacular geology.

@ElrondBurrell Got to love that. It’s like, “if we cut all our tennis balls in half we could store them more easily.” Yes that’s true but the challenge is to ‘continue to play tennis’ i.e. exist as a species, without doing destroying our biosphere.

Alva Street Townhouses. One of the two recently certified #passivehouse buildings at Toiora High Street Cohousing.

It is essential for our power grid that we stop building crappy houses with huge heating systems. Passive House is brilliant at reducing peak winter loads. stuff.co.nz/national/12602…

Super stoked to have received #passivehouse certification for both buildings at the High Street Cohousing Project in Dunedin. This is New Zealand’s first certified multi unit housing project. Big thanks to @@eHausUneed1 builders and energy consultants on this landmark project!

@via_arch Very interesting. If the scale is correct it suggests the benefits of passive house are split around 50\50 between health/comfort and energy savings

Very exciting to see the first cross laminated timber floor panels going down on our #passivehouse apartment project in Dunedin. #masstimber #lowcarbonbuilding #prefabrication

Some days a low carbon future doesn’t seem that far away... #electricjcb #passivehouse #pasivhaus #cohousing #lowcarbonfuture #whatarewewaitingfor

@BFranzmayr @ElrondBurrell Yes, but only during summer months. PVs won’t solve winter heating demand.

Another solid reason to build to the #passivehouse standard. Future proofing buildings against a future of escalating electricity prices. “The trend is very much going to be prices increasing,” stuff.co.nz/business/12464…

Or better still #paasivehouse collective housing! @HighStCohousing
