[GSBN] Passivhaus certified :)

Thu Feb 22 08:15:42 UTC 2018

Dear Herbert and John.

Thank you very much for your feedback! And for helping me to realise that I didn't draw a complete picture of Dave's and Mabel's house:

Their house is passivehouse certified loadbearing with small bales in traditional sense - to be precise.

Would anybody please happen to know any other one “passivehouse certified" like that?

Many thanks!

With warm wishes 
Jakub
