Thank you Andy!

[@Spookytherin]

damn those window frames are nice

[@liamedwards6561]

Another awesome video guys. Congratulations on your result and I’m sure the beers were very much deserved and enjoyed. 19 minutes in showcases that smile that I feel too many tradies have lost over the years. This is how work should feel!

Cheers Liam! Team is really stoked with the result.

Hi, guys! 0,21 - fantastic result with blower door! Great work! 👍

[@compound__]

Thankyou! We were very happy to achieve such a great result.

[@taviscreswell-wells3462]

From a fellow certified Passivhauser, awesome work boys! Stoked to see some well made NZ videos on passivhaus projects, good explanations and practices, bringing quality to the masses. And 0.21ACH def deserves a few brews!

Hi Travis. Awesome to hear a fellow passivhauser has enjoyed our video series, thank you so much for the kind words. Wer'e stoked!

[@Thespecialone1970]

An amazing effort guys. You've clearly worked extremely hard and the results show this. The NZ building code change couldn't happen fast enough as far as I'm concerned, although I've read an article from a well known building company in the herald recently pleading for the gov to postpone the date for another year due to the industry not being ready (as if they haven't been given adequate notice). Another year of exceptionally poor homes being constructed all around NZ. Another interesting point with the current E2 detail to note. When using thermally broken windows, both sides of the thermal break are on the outside of the building thermal envelope, rendering the whole concept relatively useless due to a thermal bridge still being present the entire way round the window! Unreal!

[@philiphorton1661]

Congratulations on your air tightness test. Impressive. We need more builders like you in the world

[@compound__]

Thanks Phillip, really appreciate your kind words.

[@rlawn00]

Great content, educational and inspiring.

[@compound__]

Thank you. Happy you enjoyed the episode!

[@corynhughes7782]

Awesome watch thank you so much. This type of housing seems like the best way to go by the length of the street. Love how you take so much time on the small details to maximise the final result. I very much doubt a normal code type build take that sought of care. The Kitchen and bathroom mentality around housing has to go.

[@rnolan151]

Great stuff guys, love it! When will ep4&5 be out? Demons be gone!!

[@compound__]

Hi Rob, The next episode is in the final editing stages!

[@elwinvanwees8516]

Amazing details! Exactly as I'd want to build myself. Where did the knowledge come from? Are all details covered in the Certified Passive House Tradesman course from PHINZ?

[@compound__]

Glad you enjoyed it. Yes I highly recommend the Passive House Tradesperson course by PHINZ to start your journey. From there, getting involved in discussions with the growing Passive House and Homestar community will benefit your knowledge greatly.

Well done on a fantastic result team! I thought the window detail was really interesting, cool to see guys in NZ really trying to reduce their carbon footprint and keep efficiency/quality. Another great video! I am semi local to Queenstown and would love if you guys had a walkthrough day at some point during/after the build.

[@compound__]

Hi Will. Thanks for commenting. We worked hard on the window detail to guarantee good airtightness. Watch this space, a future epsiode will show how incorporating solar and battery storage can reduce the carbon footprint even more.

[@hendrikx1991]

you can be proud on such a low score, congrats on you and the team! Thats more than one beer I hope with such an achievement. Hope you guys gonne have an open door once it finished.

[@compound__]

Thank you very much Nicky. Not to worry, we enjoyed the beers to celebrate. Yes, we are looking to incorporate open days so watch this space. :)

[@mauricebrown9094]

Could you leave a link to where you get the windows used on this job please.??

"Demon's , be gone (background: Demon's , be gone!)" 😂

[@jamieoconnor4342]

Wicked result! Keep up the good work! #nzbuildingcodesucks!

[@compound__]

Thanks Jamie. Were looking forward to the code improving. If only it could be done faster.

[@thomasschafer7268]

Good result for blower door test. But it needs a lot of 100s Meter of sica tape. And $$$$👍👍🍻🇩🇪
