The Passive House standard is about making buildings as energy efficient as possible, by improving the building fabric, before adding energy generation.
However, there is a tension between making buildings as energy efficient as possible and then electrifying them or electrifying everything and then working on energy efficiency later. Rewiring Aotearoa have been doing some excellent work advocating for electrifying machines across the motu and have looked into this issue from their perspective.
Our buildings are machines; small and large, they are numerous in New Zealand. If we electrify everything should we make our machines as efficient as possible too?
We intend having a educational, fun filled discussion about the way forward for our Aotearoa abodes.

Find out how you can reduce your bills and slash your emissions by upgrading your fossil fuel machines to the electric equivalents available today, and powering them with solar and batteries for more self-sufficiency.
