Millions face rising winter energy bills and record household debt; long-term relief requires large-scale home upgrades and stable, funded retrofit policy.
During my studies to become a certified Passivhaus designer, my teacher would remind me of the importance of 'going for the low-hanging fruit first.' I have kept this simple sentiment in mind for many projects, so that sustainable choices can be made minimally, or incrementally, to improve overall energy performance. This also guided the decision making for my own home.
