    See also http://markbrinkley.blogspot.com and comments on same https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14798090&postID=6066324361939029736, which so far is a battle between PH and CSH - PH ahead by a neck as at Comment no.8, more to come hopefully.

    Mark's blog says "By 2016, when in theory the Code should kick in fully and all new homes should be “zero carbon”, you would not be allowed to build this house."

    Barny's reply says "it is unfair to compare Passivhaus and CSH. The energy requirements of CSH and Passivhaus will become more or less comparable in 2016 when the new 'zero carbon' fabric standard will kick in ... The main point however is that CSH covers a host of issues outside energy; water usage, environmentally friendly materials, surface water run-off, daylighting, sound insulation, etc.
