Aww thanks Andrea! We'll get there!

[@mango-pm2xx]

is there a blueprint of this house? i would like to see how things are laid out

[@katherandefy]

So what I would like to see are some investors to pay to build apartment housing to passive housing standards. And then the rent goes to recoup the cost of building it. And then after that cost has been recouped all that’s left are maintenance costs.

[@buildwithrise]

A Passive House apartment building would be amazing! The ultimate in comfort and efficiency.

I don't know about the situation in North America but here in Europe there are many large-scale passive house projects and they are popping up everywhere around my area, especially in cities where demand for new housing is skyrocketing. One example of a whole new city-district made up only of passiv houses is the 'Bahnstadt' in Heidelberg (Germany) with apartment complexes for almost 5000 residents. I'm sure we will see more of these types of projects all over the world in the upcoming years.

[@jasonmeissner1711]

I recommend checking out a video "Passive House vs. Net Zero House, A Live Presentation in Seattle ". They talk about projects they are building now that are passive on a larger scale.

[@Straight-Outta-Roanoke-AL]

Also what do they do for a living?

[@beebob1279]

How do people afford having these built? What are the initial costs of these things. No one ever talks about the initial cost

@@GodfatherMaxi That's a crybaby, socialist excuse.

[@bcoldwell1]

I think it helps if you can separate the cost of the design feel/architure/finishes from the actual energy efficiency cost upgrades. It is typically stated that the energy upgrades in a house like this would add 10 to 15 percent, vs a normal code built home. So on a $300/sf build on a 2000 sf house, thats an add of 30 to 45/sf, so $60 - $90k. Yes, thats a lot. How long will pay back be at 15c/KWh? A long time. I have watched a lot of these videos, and am considering building a passive house myself. For myself, and I'd guess for many others, there are more reasons for building this way than just trying to get to some reasonable ROI. Hopefully, as more people adopt these methods, the up front cost will come down and products and methods will improve. My hat is off to those architrcts, builders, suppliers, and homeowners who are putting their time and money on the line to show that there can be a better way of building.

[@beebob1279]

@@bcoldwell1 Yep. I've considered building a place more for peace of mind if the power goes out. I'd like to be able to help myself. I just want to see price differences. I think if it's 15 - 20 percent over an initial cost it would be worth it. With todays interest rates it would be worth the investment because of Mortgage affordability.

[@loafandjug321]

@@bcoldwell1 Bad reason. Electric is like $0.13 per KWH so it would take 90 years to recoup any savings. A typical house that size would have a $150 per month electric bill.

Thanks for the feedback! We also love digging into the details, so we're following at the deep energy retrofit of our founder's 1850s Victorian. We've only uploaded a few videos from the project, but many more are on the way! That story will live at this playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLhn7_gBJn2EVyhwyfbL1bEyHqaiXQwPrm

Quick question how many solar panel on roof 100 watts panel Or 400 watts panel What type of inverter do you have EV cars draw 46 amp at 240 volts I see a refrigerator Efficient refrigerator about 5.2 amp at 120 volts A microwave Small or large We’ll go small 4.2 amp at 120 volts Garage door open 120 times 2.4 amps EV 11,040 watts Refrigerator 624 watts Microwave 504 watts Garage 288 watts 12,456 watts How big is your inverter. Do you have a battery bank I know to run 2500 amp hour of battery power is only good for 5000 watts for 4 hours Just more curious about your solar and power set up To me there promote to sell a house to run away from California

[@edv9142]

What's the annual Kwh/ft2 usage?

[@harshtrivedi29]

@rise who were the architects for the site....

[@ikontact]

How do you use less electricity than a hair dryer to heat and cool your home with a heat pump? Heat pumps use more electricity. Must get a lot of solar energy I'm guessing?

[@gsabic]

my 3.5ton (13 seer, not the best ) heat pump uses about 4kwh (1.14kwh/ton). an average hair dryer according to google uses 1.6kwh. if the home only needs a 1.5 ton of cooling/heating with a high seer/eer system will uses less than 1.6kwh

[@albieoval1657]

Passive house doesn’t need solar energy from solar panels. That’s a net zero house

Hello anyone from 8B here

[@loafandjug321]

Hey Mr, what's wrong with your cat?

[@13c11a]

Appears to be a rescue cat. I've seen cats with eyes like that. Generally, it's because they had long-term infections. Perhaps this couple rescued him and had him treated, but he is probably blind in one eye. Seems very gentle and grateful.

[@aldionsylkaj9654]

You just need to pay for the architect and engineer, other than that you're good.

[@andrasbodo]

In Europe, without an architect and structural engineer, you can't get a permit...that is why you see homes built in the 11th century that survived 400 wars, fire, earthquake, floods lightning and storms...their inheritance laws give added value to descendants, in America we scrap everything we build and then rebuild cheaper and cheaper...Yup
