if you’re into green architecture, low-impact homes and solar power, Ecobuild is basically like Disneyland, except it’s free and there’s no queue. with everything from staw-bale insulation and bat-boxes to ZEDfactory’s new landARK on display, the exhibitors’ map looks a little overwhelming. we’re going tomorrow to sit-in on a conference about Passivhaus – a German-pioneered technique that uses insulation, south-facing windows and ultra-efficient heat exchangers to create homes that require little or no additional energy and in some cases even feed power back to the grid. if you can’t make it, we’ll be sending updates throughout the day
