Kent SMS found the conference of 15th July most interesting particularly the statement that you cannot reach code level 6 without using passivhaus principles. The UK is way behind in relation to much of northern europe. Current best practice is 35-40 kwh/m2/yr whereas the passivhaus performance target for space heating & cooling demand is 15 kwh/m2/yr with air tightness not exceeding 0.6 ach @ 50pa.
