OUr house won the aberdeenshire sustainable house award last month. It sounds great but frankly there was no competition and unfortunately the panel didn't really understand the concept of a passiv house.

On a more practical note, RGU are coming back later this month to retest the airtightness. This is when we really find out if we got it right. The benefit for us is if it passes the passiv haus test (and there is more to that than just airtightness)and we get it registered then we get 1% off our mortage from the ecology. It would also be the first registered passiv house in the UK I understand.
