This is something that I'm exploring on my own retrofit.
Water stress is rising in the UK, but water-saving still lacks the support energy retrofits receive. Our latest blog argues it’s time to treat water as essential to whole-home sustainability.

I suspect we’re broadly aligned in principle. The key lies in having a clear, strategic plan whether a full Passivhaus route or opting for a more phased retrofit. The goal should be to optimise outcomes in terms of comfort, carbon savings, and cost-effectiveness, tailored to the individual context.
A staged whole-house plan helps you:
✔ Avoid redoing work
✔ Coordinate everything upfront
✔ Save time and money
✔ Maintain comfort throughout

I got my house #Passivhaus certified when it was built because:
- I wanted to be confident I was building to the standard.
- I felt that a certified house should be worth more in the future.
In my podcast with Kym Mead we explore some of the other benefits.

Thank you!
