The winter issue of Passive House Plus features a stunning new certified passive house in Bandon, County Cork, plus the beautiful deep retrofit of a Victorian redbrick home in Phibsborough. We also profile the UK’s largest passive school and look at why it is so conducive to learning, while architect Justin Bere writes about his solar-powered Lark Rise passive house and why it holds key lessons for how we decarbonise society. Plus, in an issue with a special focus on education, we also have an in-depth report on classroom ventilation, why it’s so important, and how to get it right in our pandemic age. This edition also features a look at how Ireland's new NZEB regulations are affecting the specification of new homes, the story of one of the earliest precursors to the passive house from the 1970s, and a unique take on what Jaffa Cakes can teach us about moisture in buildings.
