Agreed. Just one more thing: Taking the "extra step" to achieve Passive House status is (by far) not as difficult as is often claimed: It's a matter of know-how and experience. Once implemented, it's actually quite simple. (Good airtightness is the core example—PH makes implementation achievable.)

Reading this great thread from a campsite near St George, Utah thank you @holz-bau.bsky.social
There are pockets here of great bike infrastructure-so much potential to NOT sprawl out, if going ‘up’ were considered.

Nice! Is this similar to 'DLT' dowl-laminated-timber, or would the fastener system be considered unique/diff?

As a western MT resident that grew up in eastern MT, this is a very welcome report. I would love the option to take a train for business & personal travel in the state, and the potential for tourist train travel is significant (as well as the services that supports those MT ports of call). Bravo!

☝️The coolest thing you will see today.
'straw bale anchor' made for fast straw bale wrapping of houses. Perfect to turn unloved ugly industrial buildings into modern #passivehaus climate positive social housing for good urbanism.
And no this is not unsafe. 😉

One of the first passive schools in the UK, Oak Meadow, apparently saw their heating costs from from £45,000 to £5,000, after moving into the new building.
In other words, the energy savings could pay the costs of hiring another teacher.

Please know about panel providers New Frameworks, Croft & of course, Ecococoon

100% agree. We've designed the first straw-panel buildings in Idaho and Montana, two currently built and two more on the boards. But ideally the straw would be radically local & panels fabricated in the west.
