I&#39;m joined by George Clarke, TV architect, and Ben Laverty from Mitsubishi Electric to explore new towns, new builds, low-carbon homes and why the British public deserves better from the housing industry.</p><p><br></p><p>“I personally feel like we’ve let the public down,” says George, in a conversation that challenges how we design, build and plan our homes, while recognising the economic pressures, planning difficulties and skills shortages that make meaningful change so challenging. From the positioning of houses and windows to insulation, heat pumps, solar panels and ventilation, we discuss why better housing needs a thoughtful approach from the very beginning, with comfort, affordability and environmental performance considered together.</p><p><br></p><p>Expect strong opinions, practical insights and plenty of laughs as we explore what it would take for Britain to build better.</p><p><br></p><p>Please support Renewable Heating Hub by exploring our books, courses and audio guides:</p><p>📕 Britain’s Heat Pump Shitshow https://renewableheatinghub.co.uk/britains-heat-pump-shitshow/</p><p>📘 The Ultimate Guide to Heat Pumps https://renewableheatinghub.co.uk/go/ultimate-guide</p><p>📗 From Zero to Heat Pump Hero — completely rewritten and updated for 2027 https://amzn.to/4f47f4C</p><p>🛠️ Bodge Buster — completely rewritten and updated for 2027 https://amzn.to/3YPIcep</p><p>📙 Heat Pumps Explained https://link.amazon/B0g9cmDYa</p><p>🎓 Heat Pump Fundamentals course https://learn.renewableheatinghub.co.uk/fundamentals.html</p><p>Use code INTRO50 at checkout to receive 50% off the Heat Pump Fundamentals course this summer.</p><p><br></p><p>Join the Renewable Heating Hub forums for independent homeowner advice, technical discussions and real-world heat pump experiences: https://renewableheatinghub.co.uk/forums</p><p><br></p><p>If you would like to sponsor an episode, please email editor@renewableheatinghub.co.uk.</p><p><br></p><p>🌿 FOLLOW RENEWABLE HEATING HUB 🌿</p><p>Website: https://renewableheatinghub.co.uk</p><p>Forums: https://renewableheatinghub.co.uk/forums</p><p>YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/renewableheatinghub</p><p>Instagram: https://instagram.com/renewableheatinghub</p><p>Email: editor@renewableheatinghub.co.uk</p><p><br></p><p>Got a question or experience to share?
