This episode is all about a retrofit programme gone wrong in Preston and the effort required to fix it. It's a story that was covered in the pages of Passive House Plus back in 2018 under the headline "Disastrous Preston retrofit scheme remains unresolved" and until recently we thought it remained unresolved.We're joined by Filipe Amarante and Joanna Curtis to talk about the Preston Retrofit Catastrophe and all the work that National Energy Action has been doing to fix the grotesque damage that was wrought on a community in the 2010s. It's a project that's consumed at least four years and—in truth—will require many more to make good.It's not a hopeless story though. The work NEA has carried out is full of lessons for anyone who works in retrofit to learn. They've taken a worst case scenario—one so bad it's hard to imagine how you could make it any worse—and developed a remediation programme that mitigates the worst of the situation while laying out a best-practice template for how one should approach place-based retrofit programmes.They're also hosting a NEA webinar about the programme on 10 June: sign up here.Notes from the showThe Passive House Plus article: "Disastrous Preston retrofit scheme remains unresolved"Filipe on LinkedInJoanna on LinkedInThe NEA website The NEA's summary report on the project (and video): Warm and Safe Homes in FishwickMore photos of the disaster in "When retrofit goes wrong – lessons from Preston", a presentation by Kate de Selincourt, the writer who brought this story to Jeff's attentionCathy Come Home on IMDBA Taste of Honey on IMDBRiff-Raff on IMDB **SOME SELF-PROMOTING CALLS TO ACTION**We don't actually earn anything from this, and it's quite a lot of work, so we have to promote the day jobs.Follow us on the Zero Ambitions LinkedIn page (we still don't have a proper website)Jeff and Dan about Zero Ambitions Partners (the consultancy) for help with positioning and communications strategy, customer/user research and engagement strategy, carbon calculations and EPDs – we're up to all sortsSubscribe and advertise with Passive House Plus (UK edition here too)Check Lloyd Alter's Substack: Carbon UpfrontJoin ACANJoin the AECB Join the IGBCCheck out Her Own Space, the renovation and retrofit platform for women**END OF SELF-PROMOTING CALLS TO ACTION**

The Government's planning to increase ventilation requirements in new homes to address overheating in townhouses. RNZ reports Auckland homeowners have complained of 30-degree temperatures overnight due to poorly ventilated buildings. Building and Construction Minister Chris Penk says changes are needed so people don't get cooked alive in their own house. Property developer and investor David Whitburn told Mike Hosking the problem's driven by cost and design. He says the building code has changed for insulation standards, while ventilation rules have stayed the same. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textEric Rupnow's journey through agriculture—from his roots in Wisconsin to his role at J&D Manufacturing—reveals how ventilation technology transforms livestock operations across species. Driven by a passion for creating optimal environments where animals thrive, Rupnow brings practical solutions to complex airflow challenges in poultry, swine, and dairy facilities.The conversation dives deep into why ventilation serves as an "unpaid employee" on farms when implemented correctly. Drawing from real-world examples, Rupnow shares the story of a dairy operation that virtually eliminated calf treatments after switching to tunnel ventilation—challenging conventional wisdom about keeping young animals warm at any cost. Similarly, a poultry producer in the Southwest saves approximately $20,000 monthly through strategic fan placement and high-efficiency motors that paid for themselves within six months.What makes J&D's approach unique is their development of integrated solutions specifically designed for modern challenges like cage-free housing. Their light trap combination systems maintain clean interior walls while optimizing airflow, demonstrating how innovative engineering responds to industry evolution. The company partners with complementary technology providers rather than attempting to master everything, ensuring farmers receive best-in-class complete systems.Looking toward the future, Rupnow envisions more precise control systems, filtered positive pressure applications to combat airborne diseases, and continued innovation across species. Perhaps most valuable is his advice to challenge traditional approaches—even when you think you have the right answer. This mindset has led to breakthrough solutions for problems farmers didn't know they had.The discussion highlights the critical importance of involving barn-level staff in equipment shows and innovation processes. These frontline workers often identify problems and solutions that might be missed by management. Their practical experience proves invaluable when developing ventilation systems that truly deliver on-farm results.Whether you're operating a massive integrated operation or a small specialty farm, understanding how air moves through your facilities could be the difference between struggling and thriving. Reach out to ventilation specialists who can help analyze your specific challenges and develop solutions that improve animal health, worker satisfaction, and ultimately, your bottom line.Check out J&D Manufacturing - https://jdmfg.com/PEAK 2025 - Mid Roll Hosted by Brandon Mulnix - Director of Commercial Accounts - Prism ControlsThe Poultry Leadership Podcast is only possible because of its sponsor, Prism ControlsFind out more about them at www.prismcontrols.com
