Passive House At A Glance

from The Building Science Podcast Hosted by Positive Energy

The PHIUS+ 2015 Passive Building Standard provides the climate-specific sweet spot where aggressive energy and carbon reduction overlap with cost effectiveness. It accounts for a full range of variables including climate zone, source energy, and costs. In cooperation with Building Science Corporation under a U.S. DOE Building America Grant, the PHIUS Technical Committee developed passive building standards that account for the broad range of climate conditions, market conditions, and other variables in North American climate zones. In this week's episode, we explore the above code practice of Passive House and its role in American architecture and building. Special thanks to the Austin PHAUS Chapter for their generous support of this episode.
