On the night before, the night before, Christmas, we spent the morning with Ross Cremin a QS with a lot of experience in passive house building [I know what I wrote – Dan].

Broadly, we talked about what it's like to live in a Passivhaus building, eating seagulls in celebration of Christ, heating homes, and all the other usual things.

It's worth highlighting that Jeff suggested we speak with Ross apropos of an anecdote he drew from in the Passive House Plus feature on Ross's house and in Jeff's 'Virtuous Luxury' TedX Talk about the value of the Passivhaus building standard.

Some references from the show

• Passive House Plus feature on Ross's house
• Jeff's 'Virtuous Luxury' TedX Talk
• Ross's blog about his home
• The Medeira Oaks passive house scheme that Jeff mentions 
• The Irish Times Catherine Cleary article about appraising her own heat recovery system

We don't actually earn anything from this, and it's quite a lot of work, so we have to promote the day jobs.
