Our need to control nature has a long history and reached its pinnacle with
the Gardens of Versailles. We've waged a losing battle ever since and the
Passive House craze is our last desperate attempt to prove our superiority
over nature.
In the long term my bets are on Earthship style construction, which is a
much more bio phillic method. I say this after just finishing a PH job.

when you build a house you don't want a want a race horse. You want a draft
horse.
