Don't ask the cli­ent - just do it!

_{If all pro­fes­sions took their re­spons­ib­il­ity in stop­ping the cli­mate change, the change will be ex­po­nen­tial. In the build­ing in­dustry there is a lot we can do today that has a big im­pact and good profit. Pass­ive house is one ex­ample, sol­ar cells, en­ergy stor­age and shar­ing oth­er ex­amples. Im­port­ant is to do what you can and not ask for oth­er’s per­mis­sion so much. When it seems hard, press the bound­ar­ies.}

It is a per­so­nal jour­ney, from a cli­ent to a Pas­si­ve Hou­se pro­fes­sio­nal, full of obstacles, per­so­nal grow­th and en­or­mous sa­tis­fac­ti­on.
