Bishop Passive House: Thermal Bridges and Transitions

When constructing an airtight home, transitions are the spots that will make or break the project. In typical construction, theses are the places that could turn an otherwise comfortable home into an oven or an ice box. As tedious as these details may be, they are crucial for achieving that continuous insulation and airtight boundary. In this video we will also discuss one thermal bridge we do have and our reasons for it. It's time to transition to a smarter way of building!

Great detail at the roof junction. And the aluminum rain screen over the timber windows! So simple, but such a great idea.

Great job! This is important info. It's crazy actually how efficient your energy usage becomes after putting in some extra time and money up front. I will be sure to share this video with my peeps!

I like this video series. Glad I found it. How did you air seal the outlookers?

Is there a reason why the gutex fibre board is not covered with a waterproof membrane ? Surely if water penetrated the structure and got in around the window, the gutex would in time become wet and cause damage, or is it sufficiently waterproof to only need sealing at the joints ?Jeremy
