All the passivhaus projects i'm working on at the momemt use mechanical cooling. They have heat pumps, and with the right sort of heating system they can pump heat either into or out of a building. Being passivhaus they will use very little energy for either, but much less for cooling than heating

I reposted this yesterday then deleted it. I said the same thing a week or so ago in a reply to someone, the issue with this site like so many others, is that it doesn’t matter if you’re correct it’s if you have a cadjillion followers. The level of ignorance about basic environmental design is mad.
Show PostI'd be pleasantly surprised if we could fit heat pumps fast enough for this to be a problem - given speed and scale possible with wind and solar I think full speed ahead on heat pumps too - and anyway they still heat from gas via CCGT more efficiently than boilers
