Absolutely this. UK is on the back foot on building for climate change and retrofit has been slowly gaining pace after the industry was decimated by the Tories when Cameron started spouting nonsense like βcut the green crapβ to appease his austerity loving chancellor Osborne.
Would argue that climatewise south coast and East Anglia in the UK are not that dissimilar to northern France, but approaches to shade for properties very different.

@JugglingWithEggs@mstdn.social A cultural vernacular that moved from north to south with no regard for climate. I mean when the british came to Australia, they oriented the buildings in the same way as the the uk (polar facing directions are different!) it has a lot of impact on solar performance until someone worked it out many decades later! @humanhorseshoes@mastodon.world
