How to achieve Passive House Airtightness

Welcome to episode 2 of the Naikoon - ‘On Site With’ video series. This week we're exploring the steps required when shooting for the passive house airtightness and Net Zero standards. We’ll hear from Shawn on how to get it right from the foundations up and from Ryan and Emma at E3 Eco Group on the scientific methods of testing. This video features the stunning CLT constructed ‘West Bay Net Zero Passive House’, which is West Vancouver’s first certified passive house and first Net Zero Energy home in West Vancouver.
