Comment on: Does Passivhaus constrain design?

We shall start by emphasising that PH Standard does not constrain the amount of energy not used and certainly none of the levels of health, wellbeing and comfort - and then we can think of "making it nicer". In general the times when humans’ egocentric and random understanding of freedom was declaring this a preferred tradition and that the mainstream’s design will have to become history pretty fast. Freedom will have to be ruled as anything else by what sustainability allows as we will be able to host +7 billion people and more, only, if we arrange ourselves with what is a finite planet! PH Standard will be(come) one part of this arrangement and as such it is much more than just another regulation. caw
