Fires are more common, especially in California, because of POOR PLANNING not because of so-called “climate change” which is just rebranded global warming which was debunked in the 1990’s. The most important art of firefighting is to have water so if you live in California you might want to buy your own fire trucks and water storage rather than relying on the Marxist to “protect” you. Also if you clean your forest floors that’s one of the most important steps. Never charge an electric car within a MINIMUM of 25 feet. Never buy an electric car because of thermal runaway reasons.

Enjoyed this and was very useful given I'm thinking about doing something similar. Woud be great if you could share how much it cost for the whole project.

I came across an old magazine piece about this project, and I'm pleased to see it was completed successfully. What I'd love to see now is some updated info. Is this concept of insulated cladding gaining ground? Have other similar projects been successfully completed? Are there more in the works?

I live in West Philadelphia but currently studying to pass my ARE exams. Curious if this couple or any other passive houses in the city offer tours of their buildings?

🎉🎉🎉 Your video informs & inspire people around the world to improve home safety & environment... Thanks from Thailand...

Fantastic

This makes me hopeful

I would have loved to see the ERVs which weren't quite caught on film, and also to have heard more about heating a cooling (assuming heat pump?)

It won’t help, you need a vapour barrier

Blower door testing and air sealing are under appreciated tools for a comfortable and energy efficient house.

All new buildings should be designed with large roof overhangs. The large overhang provides beauty and protection from the sun, rain and wind. Protection of the doors, windows and siding make for a more durable and comfortable home. Water is the enemy of buildings.

New homes should come with solar panels, a rain water collection system and an electric vehicle charger in the garage.

All homes should be built to accommodate the elderly and disabled. This will be better for everyone. Large wide doorways and hallways make using a cane, walker or wheel chair much easier. Bathrooms or wet rooms need to have flat floors and no shower hump or pan. A flat floor allows for easy access and drains need to provided. Easy to use lever door and faucet handles are easier for the elderly to grip and open. Main floors should include a master bedroom, restroom, shower, laundry and wide walk in closet with few steps to enter. Homes should be designed with aging in place in mind.

Looked like cat people

Amazing!

I also wanted to mention this presentation was beyond informative. Including the process, product mentions, and systems to make it all happen, the video presentation was inspiring! Brava to everyone in creating a magnificent home the contributes to our humanity and all the behind the scenes humans who made each step a reality. Demonstrating how to create a PH correctly ( showing us the ‘why’ and how) behind the walls and the outside complying to the historical guidelines!

This is a masterpiece! For 14 years I have dreamed of retrofitting my home to a passive house. The costs have been out of reach for us , but still determined!!! Any suggestions on products, contractors, designs for retrofitting a home to Passive house in a cost efficient way?

You explained passive house really well! Thanks for that! Beautiful designs!

Step 0: save up $1M to employ lots of consultants early....nice video, yet i wonder who can really afford Passive House retrofits and what amount of savings or financed funding is adequate?

Why the Passive House Planning Package (PHPP) that was not designed to be climate specific. Designed for the middle European climate. Why not include the more advanced, newer, Passive House Institute United States (PHIUS) modeling program WUFI (Wärme und Feuchte Instationär) made specifically for the North American climate zones? I hope you bring up the overheating disadvantages and the specific areas where both work?

can you share the ducting you did?

Thank you for featuring this project! We're proud of Woodlawn Senior and grateful to Riseboro for leading the way in resilient, affordable housing in NYC.

Stating 30 seconds lets the viewer know the subject is complex. The most essential will be covered. Do not need how important is 30 seconds. Great eye contact directly with camera. Good ending and finger motion.

Great vid but also, congrats on your weight loss! You look good!

Awesome house, dude.

Great video. These are the exact projects that municipalities should be advocating for and supporting.

Great post and concept, I love it. I'm in the process off creating a startup that is built on those two concepts. Who can I get in contact with more information on these builds? Thanks!

So how many units are actually occupied by low income families, and how many are by professionals, like the Drs. at Monte Fiore Hospital?

very good stuff. we have a lot of collective buildings and this pilot project looks very promising!

Curious how you can achieve passive house standards with double hung windows. Wouldn't a tilt/turn triple pane windows with Rolladen like they have in some European countries help achieve this?

I see Rockwool used in switzerland which has very insulation standards. Are they getting common in the US?

I'm curious as to why tilt turn windows are taking off very slowly in the US?

Beautiful home. Can I ask the dimensions of your great room, dining room kitchen area? Length and width?

12K sf Passive House is awesome. Sounds like it will be the sexiest warehouse in NY

so how much did they spend?

How beautiful city development can be! Who follows?

what type of panels were used?

0:47 Norbert's Arvada Geos project

Wish you would’ve saved the façade of the old building.

Please please please give a separate video explaining how they measured and built the monitoring system! I'd love to see more about this to help inform my future build!

love the concept but yall should have chosen a different name, the term passive doesn't envoke inspiration

Question, is the brickwork on your building a veneer with a channel for water behind it or is it a solid masonry wall with no gap?

Wait, I'm confused. Was this video re-uploaded? (I'll just repost my comment from the other video 😊) This is truly phenomenal architecture that not only enhances the lives of those that inhabit it, but restores, rebuilds, uplifts and so much more. All involved should feel very proud. I love the incorporation and integration of the more holistic lifestyle programs, features, services and activities. More of this, please 😊 Another amazing video, RB team 👏💚

Great project for 72 families and we need more of this on a massive scale for all citizens.

Great information. I have Newfoundland in mind as a location to build. Very similar climate to Ireland. Thanks for producing thoughtful content.

This home is so beautiful, inside and outside!!! I love the style of the home as well as all the artwork, sculptures and furniture selected for the interior spaces. Amazing!!!❤❤❤
