If saving energy in buildings also counts, PHPP software is an energy modelling tool used to design energy efficient buildings. Passivhaus or Enerphit buildings save around 80-90% of operational energy compared with typical new builds.

Thrilled to see Hampstead #Passivhaus shortlisted for the 2026 RIBA London Awards.
A Victorian conservation-area townhouse retrofitted to certified #EnerPHit:
• ~90% cut in space heating
• 75% lower operational energy
• 58% lower whole life carbon
Heritage + deep decarbonisation at its best.
Preventing local authorities from pursuing the most ambitious environmental standards that go beyond current, inadequate building regulations for greener homes is shameful & shortsighted, & cheats people out of warm, energy efficient homes👇

What do tipping points mean for climate policy?
Climate change won't be smooth.
Delay reaching emission targets by a few years, and you might not just get slightly worse climate impacts.
You may unwittingly cross a line for unstoppable, massive changes.
