The green @Accoya cladding, from @RusswoodUK, on our #passivhaus is a great backdrop to colourful plants in the garden!

Great to see completion of the #iceboxchallengeGlasgow yesterday. Ice in the Building regs box had melted some time ago. Passivhaus box retained 121kg of ice despite unseasonal Glasgow weather. Lots of local interest. Passivhaus works in Scotland. #passivhaus

Three years ago we finished building our #passivhaus and then made our #garden pond. Create the habitat and #wildlife will appear... 🌿🐝#TwitterNatureCommunity 🐞🦋

@sf_architects The Nepeta was really buzzing with bees today! 🐝

Good to see more #Passivhaus homes being built in #Fife!

My TedX talk on 'Restoring the ancient Caledonian Forest' in the Highlands of Scotland has just reached the significant milestone of half a million views! If you haven't seen it yet, it's at: youtube.com/watch?v=nAGHUk…

Winter in #Fife. It's very good to be #SnugWithin our#passivhaus! ❄️❄️❄️

It's #RedSquirrelAppreciationDay and we really appreciated this visitor last year! #Fife #garden

The #snow is not melting on the roof of our #passivhaus today. The house is so well #insulated, the heat inside does not escape through the roof. #winter #Scotland

@ROCPassiveHouse @snugwithin @MontePaulsen Laws of thermodynamics at work... :-). For the same reason coffee in a thermos stays hot. Science for the people: This is, how a globalization oriented on the human needs can look like: We don't need "energy"; we need comfort.

A chilly morning in #Fife, only 6C outside at 9am, but very comfortable in our #Passivhaus with no heating. Loving the benefits of living in a #Passivhaus!

This little bird crashed into our glass door and stunned itself. It just sat quietly for a while but fortunately recovered enough to fly away. #Chiffchaff or #WillowWarbler?

A very welcome visitor to our #Fife #garden this morning. We gave him some peanuts and he stayed a while and entertained us with his antics and curiosity! #RedSquirrel

#SelfBuild is never easy....
