In this episode, we hear about Architype\u2019s success in influencing policy changes in Scotland, which includes funding tied to performance-based targets for schools and a Passivhaus equivalence standard for all new housing. Fallon also describes the growing community of architectural practices in Scotland pushing for more sustainable outcomes.<\/p>\n
Fallon has been instrumental in developing a \u2018blended\u2019 approach to retrofit through a nuanced study of the City of Edinburgh\u2019s estate of 300 buildings with a wide variety of building typologies from different eras. This holistic approach involves everything from exploring whether the activities in a particular building can be consolidated and intensified to the nitty-gritty of updating mechanical plant. \u2018The service engineer probably hated me on the on the project, because I have an unhealthy interest in services,\u2019 she says.<\/p>\n
Fallon has also been involved in developing the curriculum for a national module on building physics and Passivhaus that will be rolled out in every RIBA-accredited Part 1 course, launching this autumn.<\/p>\n
