- Up to 25% of tradespeople will retire in the next 10 years, a significant proportion of the workforce, which sadly, aren't being replaced by an influx of people coming into the industry; posing a massive risk to delivery of net zero housing targets. Fortunately organisations like BCIT Zero Emissions Building Learning Centre and Mitsubishi Electric are ready with a solution. They are working to offer free training to upskill existing tradespeople with the skills to build passive homes as well as encouraging new people into the space too and in doing so, ensuring that British Columbia's Clean BC targets and housing step-code are kept within reach. In this episode, Imogen met with the team and found out that this is about so much more than solar, heat pumps and insulation and is sparking a whole new set of innovative and creative ways to reach net zero!

This just makes me sob about the UK
Our Government actually *_scrapped_* these housing standards just before they were due to come into force! A few hundred low-energy houses were built to the standards.
Now imagine being in the same country and still sobbing. Ontario isn't doing shit.
Me too
So what shall we do about it? #WeBuildSolutionsNotProblems
we all can sob. EU has just delayed it 10 more years for home building and renovation.
53 panels, first ones 2014, newest ones 2021. 16 kWp. Produces 15 MWh/year, nearly matching our total need (warm house, garage, hot water and two BEVs).
In N Sweden!
Should be standard in whole developed part of the world. We can afford it! Lowers costs of electricity and heating so much!
Saves oil consumption and pollution=the enemy of the fossil fuel industry which owns ALL the politicians of ALL countries globally.
That fk A. Rothschild said give me control of a nation's currency and I care not for it's laws. Well oil is most nations currency smh. 😑
Canada is lucky it has a proactive government, here in the UK we have an inactive government.
"inactive"??? *_DE- active!_*
They've actually _taken out_ steps which were previously made!
To proactive in some aspects!
And denial that there is a problem or that things can actually be done without it costing £££££
They deliberately killed the previous 'all buildings must be net zero by 2016' plan in 2015, _after_ the house-builders had done the preparation and were ready for it (if a bit moany). That was criminal.
The replacement scheme (the name of which I have forgotten) had the fatal flaw of requiring commercial returns on the loans, so everything cost 7%-10% which ruined the economics. It should have been interest-free like this Canadian scheme. So that was a flop.
A couple of years later they tried the Green Deal which had excellent underpinnings, but screwed it up with hopeless (US-based) admin so builders didn't get paid and grants were hard to get. Then rather than sack the adminstrators and fix things, they killed the whole scheme after 6 months, and 3 years later we still have no plan. So we've had 17 years so far of trying to get a mass retrofit scheme and decent new-build standards going in the UK and almost nothing has been done to actual houses since various schemes to fit insulation were killed in 2012.
It really has been a massive failure, and is so frustrating because it would have saved the country nearly 3 billion/yr when the energy-price crisis hit last year, as well as reducing emissions and generally heading us in the right direction. It's hard to understand such a combination of incompetence and mendacity.
th-cam.com/video/u7s-BgfcFXw/w-d-xo.html maybe this will modify your thought.
The UK used to have similar training facilities, but they were closed 11 years ago. They funded training for SIP quick build techniques.
We still have the NSBRC (National Self-Build and Renovation Centre) in Swindon which has lots of examples and holds training sessions. What was the one that closed?
There were actually two... one near Liverpool and the other in Newcastle.
We also had building regulations that required all new builds to be Code 6 (net zero) by 2016 which were repealed under Cameron. Admittedly, in 2010-11 most designs for Code 6 homes were outstandingly ugly.
I built many houses using airtight building technology, mainly in France. Cheap and quick to build, consume no energy to heat or cool with little embodied energy.@@justinstephenson9360
Please take this message into our UK schools. Many just don’t want to understand manual labour and physical effort is required.
In Sweden/Norway there are already many wood/passive houses with very good isolation and windows, most of the new ones in facts.
Add a heating pumps scavenging ventilation heat and some solar panels, you get already zero emission (at least for electricity) and excellent inhouse comfort.
Yep. I have all of it and two BEVs also solar powered.
A re-upload? I enjoyed watching it. Again ;)
Start small, you can do it. Each step should save you money in a few months period. Then you can afford the next step.... And so on...
I can't tell you your individual steps, i don't know your situation enough, but you should never stop improving.
New construction is fine, but (in the UK) we seriously need to address the existing building stock. My wife and I are pretty much abandoning our ambition of having an Enerphit renovation of our house because of three reasons:
1. Meeting the ultra conservative tastes of our local planning officer heaped unnecessary costs onto the project.
2. Getting architects, quantity surveyors and builders who are competent to carry out this sort of work and honest seems impossible.
3. The costs are prohibitive, and the fallout from the UK's string of inept and unelected leaders has just made that worse.
Yeh, the planning rules need to change so badly. Not being able add double glazing or Solar to a listed building is so backwards, especially if it's pout of site or low impact. More, all new builds in the UK should be adding solar, heat pumps and high grade glazing as standard, we are just adding to the existing problems of poorly insulated drafty homes.
I have been enjoyed, so thank you for delivering.
Kindness is still free❤
Love this content guys, it’s very inspiring and is making me consider retraining in this field. 👍
when i went to community college r2000 was the big thing for the future, ultimately 2x6 outer envelope studs that edge out over foam wrapped floor headers and rims, i spose it's just gonna be one of those forgotten things.
🙋♂️THANKS FOR SHARING THE FUTURE 🤗👍😎💚💚💚
Imogen rocks!
- agree with the sentiment - if you understand energy flows - one can do "anything" to improve a building performance - mainly, doing the construction properly. (Ie. stick the bits together as they are intended - in the system).
BC is doing a lot of great things! I think we need to prioritize condos with mixed-use development (e.g. stacked apartments over stores, with common areas) over single-family homes because it uses less resources and offers an overall better quality of life. We definitely should require all large new buildings, and existing large ones retrofitted, to be net zero by a certain date, and then reduce the size to be required to be net zero over time. The incentives should be aligned with income, i.e. lower incentives for high-income folks and higher incentives for low-income folks, and do the full retrofit for the poorest at no cost.
Thank you
Sunak should be made to spend a month here.
Why did I get a strong feeling of deja vu watching this episode. Were bits of it included in earlier vlogs?
Same here. Maybe the heat pump segment was new?
@@zapfanzapfan I found it! It was on the sister Channel Fully Charged Show th-cam.com/video/4WwGR7AgA6o/w-d-xo.html
I'll start saving 😉⚡️🔋
@fully charged I’d like to know more about ventilation systems. If our homes are highly insulated it seems necessary, and yet I never see it discussed
it gets talked about heaps. ERVs or HRVs get used to bring in filtered fresh air.
Building regulations have ventilation requirements - trickle vents in double glazed windows for example
@@tonykelpieif you have Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery this makes trickle vents unnecessary. A hygrometer sensor in the bathroom and kitchen can automatically cause the ventilation to be boosted when you're cooking or having a shower. All the incoming fresh air is warmed by the outgoing stale/wet air so you never feel a cold draft.
@@simonjones1342that is what I have, I think mine is 86% efficient, no vents on windows, no draughts, no humidity at all. Hard to retrofit, but should be required on individual new builds.
@@simonjones1342 we have a heat pump to scavenge energy from the outbound air and heats the radiator loop.
Vents straight out in most rooms provide fresh air, but at -20C and colder, that’s a bit chilly near them.
Can I suggest Fully Charged recruits/head hunts Olivia Wannan of Stuff nz so we can get some attention here in Aotearoa? We are feeling left out.
Karandeep, I don't know if you remember my wife and myself. We were probably 2 of several people that you spoke with when you were in Vancouver. I was the one who waved to you and then spoke to you after one of the talks.
I hope all is well.
Does it take more energy to keep a house cool in a hot environment or keep a house warm in a cold environment?
To keep it simple, a 15 degrees difference from inside to outside temps.
Good question.
Keeping warm is helped by people and things switched on, for cooling all that fights against the cooler.
Not sure what the end result is.
Is this report accurate? This report says homes in Canada are required to "... basically [be] passive houses" Is this true, or do they not know what a "passive house" is?
UK should have these and for "off grid" homes which look the only way new homeowners can afford a low carbon home???
Where can I find real world data on internal temperatures for houses constructed in the UK using the levels of insulation expected by uk epc regs?
Internal temperature means nothing. Heat loss is what you need to measure. A passive house with no solar shading in summer could be 35 degrees. Same house mid winter could be 5 degrees if it has no internal heat source.
Have you approached Sam Evans from the ‘The Electric Viking’ Chanel to talk at one of your events?
every house must have air locks on each external door !
Known as an entryway in cooler climes.
Yeah, at -20C I wish we had that…
The townhouse I grew up in had a vestibule/coat room at the front entry.
Sadly, it also had leaky single-pane windows and flimsy back door.
However, that vestibule rocked for keeping warm air inside during frigid winters. Don’t know why it isn’t built into more homes.
this was shown 2 weeks ago?
It's a similar episode to the one on the Fully Charged Show, but there were parts of the interview not included in the original episode hence the release of this one.
Wait, where is the zero interest loan? My 50 year old house doesn’t even have double pane windows.
Retread episode. Started watching realize already saw it. Is there anything new here or is this just a re-post
It's a similar episode, but there were parts of the interview not included in the original episode hence the release of this one.
@@EverythingElectricShow can you do an episode which contrasts this with the UK, please?
The UK _had_ these regulations but actively scrapped them just before they came into force.
The UK has plenty of flowing water (including tides on all coasts) & plenty of sites for pumped-hydro yet has a primarily gas-powered grid & is building nuclear.
The UK, today, has granted licenses for the nation's largest oilfield.
Scotland is the world leader in tidal-flow generation but Westminster shelves tidal projects. It's estimated there's enough tidal energy to supply the whole country, with excess to sell, & enough timing variation around the coasts to have no dead times.
@@alanhat5252 The scrapping of the Net Zero housing rules in 2015 (9 years into the 10-year run-up) was criminal. And here we are 8 years later still with no real plan.
House in a thumpnail looks like a house I really have worth for it. Really ...
I feel like a lot of this video has been reupload unless i have seen into the future
Rebates should not exist. If it doesnt work without, it should not exist.
Isn't this a repeat? I'm positive I've seen this already.
Handling fibreglass without wearing gloves strikes me as being a bad idea
Great idea, just unaffordable for most peoples
Not at all true, but carry on crying and doing nothing.
I live in a passiv Haus. It might add 10% to the build cost, but the design is dictated by effeciency rather than design.
Then 10% extra is fine when my heating bill last year was £120 for the whole winter and my electric bill is £45 a month.
Did you not hear the bit where they said they were building new Step Five, Passive Houses, for the same price as conventional build houses?
@@ForeverNeverwhere1What year was your house built? Interested in doing it someday, but it may be long into the future. Would love to just buy one from an original owner.
I love how people have swallowed the story this is too expensive, where in truth it really is not. The other side of it are savings which are huge and go on for years. I live in the UK, we’re currently racing to the bottom of all this, which is very sad.😢
doing nothing is unaffordable
.
When all electricity is from renewables and/or battery storage the price won’t be based on the cost of fossil fuels. It will be much lower in price so we do not need to be over zealous on reducing energy use. Yes it’s a ‘good’ thing but bringing all buildings to a level that only a minimal energy input is not necessarily desirable. Older and listed buildings do work, and if more (renewable) electricity energy is required to heat and power them, does that matter, especially if the cost is so much less?
One should not be wasteful but frugal.
Is this based on the international passive house standard? If not, this is not serious.
Nice video👍Despite the economic downturn,I'm so happy☺️. I have been earning $ 60,000 returns from my $10,000 investment every 14days.
This must be an investment with Mrs Linda Raschke,
She helped me recover what I lost trying to trade myself
Wow 😲 Kind of in shock , you mentioned Mrs Linda. She has proved beyond all doubt that it's worth generating wealth from crypto investment . I've been earning greatly
Please how can I reach out to her , i so much needs her services right now!
I have been following her for a while on twitter and on her life streams , she teaches alot about crypto trade, but i seem not to understand.
She's always active on Whats~App...🎉

So you pay it in tax and then get it back as grants. I guess it fools some people.
This sounds like a good social policy. Helping others out with your tax and when you want a bit you apply for a grant.
THIS is how to get a zero carbon home:
1. Don't live in the US
First step done, what's next?
Lots of people in US have built efficient homes. See “Undecided with Matt Ferrell”.
Or, you might learn that in much of the US, you have more freedom and opportunity to build a home to meet your goals than almost anywhere else....
@@jamesengland7461 exactly.. code is the min standard.. you can build as energy efficient as youd like
@@jamesengland7461 I've lived in every time zone of the US for years at a time, it's bad in most places you want to live. US standards and incentives are a joke compared to a number of other places in the world. Canada and Germany don't sound too bad...
zero emission my arse! Stop farting first if you really want zero emission!
And this can all be yours for the low price of . I love you guys and this channel but you really need to get some content out for affordable solutions (dropping £10k+ plus on something that takes 10+ years to pay off is vastly more than 99% of the population would consider affordable), not things that only upper-middle class and above can afford.
40k interest free loan at 7:50 solves the problem of the upfront cost. Watch the video!!!
10k+, interest-free, for 10 years is ~ 85 a month.
£10k is what many families blow on their annual holiday abroad.
@@jamesengland7461 multiply that by 4 according to the video
I built my own low carbon high efficiency Passiv Haus for £45 grand approx plus land and taxes, Nice to know I am considered rich now.
