Marketing Passivhaus

Josh Salinger is the founder and CEO of Birdsmouth Design-Build, building custom new residential homes and ADUs, as well as some retrofits and remodels. They focus their new construction on passive buildings and have been doing that — and certifying them through Phius — since 2012 or so, operating out of Portland, Oregon, in the US Pacific Northwest. In this episode, we talk about best practices and how passive building techniques and passive house certification are, in a way, nothing more or less than a means of following best practices at every step along the way. We talk about the benefits of design-build, the five things everyone really wants from their building (and how to figure out which one to talk about first), and much more.Connect with Josh and Birdsmouth: Josh on LinkedIn => https://www.linkedin.com/in/josh-salinger-763a396/Josh on Fine Home Building => https://www.finehomebuilding.com/author/josh-salingerJosh on Green Building Advisor => https://www.greenbuildingadvisor.com/author/josh_salingerBirdsmouth on LinkedIn => https://www.linkedin.com/company/birdsmouth-designbuild/Birdsmouth on Instagram => https://www.instagram.com/birdsmouthpdx/Birdsmouth website => https://www.birdsmouthpdx.com/

Shefali Sanghvi is the Director of Sustainability at Dattner Architects, a mission-driven, women-owned design firm based in New York City and focused on civic spaces and the urban experience. One of the things she loves about being a director of sustainability in an architecture firm with multiple studios is the opportunity to leverage what she learns from the passive house and affordable housing sides into other typologies in the office. We talk about the connection between sustainability and affordability, debunk the myth that affordable has to mean low quality, and highlight how the drive for electrification is making Passivhaus an easier sell.Connect with Shefali and Dattner Architects:Shefali on LinkedIn => https://www.linkedin.com/in/shefali-sanghvi-aia-leed-ap-bd-c-env-sp-fitwel-amb-7397425/Shefali on Instagram => https://www.instagram.com/shefali_sustainability/425 Grand Concourse (Shefali's intro to PH) => https://www.dattner.com/projects/view/425-grand-concourse/Via Verde (Shefali's intro to Dattner) => https://www.dattner.com/projects/view/via-verde-the-green-way/Vital Brookdale (Shefali's first PH project) => https://www.dattner.com/projects/view/vital-brookdale/Dattner website => https://www.dattner.com/

Bronwyn Barry is an architect and principal at Passive House BB, as well as co-founder and recently retired Board Chair of the Passive House Network. It was from Bronwyn that I first came across the catchy phrase Boxy But Beautiful (#BBB) to describe the form factor that is key to optimal Passivhaus performance. She's also the first person I saw pointing out that Passivhaus' airtightness standards mean these buildings are also smoke-tight, which is increasingly important in these times of heightened air pollution from wildfires. In terms of marketing Passivhaus, it doesn't get much better than that! Listen to this episode for yet another catchy, alliterative turn of phrase!

Lloyd Alter is an author, reformed architect, adjunct professor at Toronto Metropolitan University, and the writer of the excellent Substack, Carbon Upfront! Having followed his work for the better part of a decade, primarily through his prolific stint as a writer and editor at Treehugger, I have heard Lloyd talk about the virtues of Passivhaus (and the frustrating nature of its name) more than anyone else. In fact, it was Lloyd's article, "Passivhaus or Passive House? Efficiency, low carbon, or Comfort and Security?" that convinced me — mere days before I was about to start building in earnest — to call this podcast Marketing Passivhaus, not Marketing Passive House.Connect with Lloyd and Carbon Upfront!:Substack => https://lloydalter.substack.com/LinkedIn => https://www.linkedin.com/in/lloyd-alter-827ba7/Lloyd's favourite Treehugger article of his => https://www.treehugger.com/how-do-you-sell-idea-passive-house-4856509
