Description

Guestless, we had a chat amongst ourselves and talked a lot about social housing and retrofit. Eventually, we even got on to talking about Alex's passiv shed. We've got some links below to the things we talked about. 
A link to the BE-ST Fest 2022 web page.
Jan Rosenow's article 'Is heating homes with hydrogen all but a pipe dream? An evidence review'.
That Richard Seymour book: The Disenchanted Earth: Reflections on Ecosocialism & Barbarism (it's really good and a very easy read).
Ryan Philip's blog 'Heat Pumps are not the Answer'.
That Guardian article about how the Scottish rent cap will affect social housing.

The white paper we wrote about how social housing could be a catalyst for the retrofit industry.
We'll add a link to some photos of Alex's shed. Keep an eye on his LinkedIn profile.
**SOME SELF-PROMOTING CALLS TO ACTION**We don't actually earn anything from this, and it's quite a lot of work, so we have to promote the day jobs.

Zero Ambitions is a podcast about sustainability, the built environment, and zero-carbon goals. We talk about how sustainability applies to the built environment, to draw attention to the achievability of it all, wherever there is the will to make a difference. It's not easy, but it is possible. Hosted by Jeff Colley (Passive House Plus), Dan Hyde (Everything is User Experience) and Alex Blondin (Everything is User Experience) Zero ambitions is a hub for sharing good practices, advice, stories about the importance of sustainable building, retrofit, performance, efficiency, new materials, strategies, and whatever needs to be done in order to meet the collective challenges that lie ahead.
