I was thinking about thermal isolation when I mentioned the fascades.

Some buildings need very little energy to stay at comfortable temperatures.

True, building codes are hard to change because moneied interests like building shitboxes and like the entire landlord philosophy is spend nothing take everything.

Everyone should be building passive solar homes where possible though

They are building new buildings like this but those are getting talked to shit. Too blocky, concrete desert (bushes and lawns next to every building but who's counting). Then you walk inside and it has 25° during the hottest day of the summer even though the floor cooling hasn't even been connected yet.

Vexing.

My dream is a concrete home half dug into the earth with bushfire shutters. Would be pretty chill being comfortable year round and not having to evacuate every couple of years.

People whinge about functional houses a lot.
