Government involvement would be needed on a massive scale to improve UK housing stock to modern part L standards.
Labour have something in their manifesto, but the reality would just be prohibitive.
I think I recall the cost could be upto £50k to retrospectively improve a house to passivhaus standards.
Heat pumps are only suitable for well insulated homes.
And I read they arent suitable for mass use - it would become a problem if every house in a city was sucking heat out of the air. It would be like mass refridgeration.
Environmental solutions have so many consequences. I believe theres a problem with celetex PIR insulation -it cant be broken down or something.
We are doomed, help us Greta.
