@gnate@ohai.social @girlonthenet@mastodon.social most of us don't because most politicians believe it's more important to build cheap houses, than it is to build houses people can afford to heat or cool...
Trying to give insulation away is almost impossible, but the second energy prices go up in a cold snap or we get a heatwave, people complain...
We did what we could with our houses and it makes a difference, though it's more effective in a new build.

@drajt@fosstodon.org @girlonthenet@mastodon.social Quite honestly, I've never seen houses that didn't need either active heating or cooling (or both.) I'm aware of some clever designs, like Roman/Spanish villas (and igloos for that matter), but nothing modern. Are there some I'm missing out on?
