Very impressive. This passive house ticks almost all the boxes for us. To make it our perfect fit we need two bedroom, two bathroom, a mud room and larger kitchen but you are now the leading contender for our new house.

Really enjoyed this walk thru, just in time for lunch. I'm really blown away by those windows. I'll be countine on your website!!

Quick question. The water vapor from cooking, bathroom and merely breathing has to go somewhere. How does the house deal with all that water vapor, to avoid condensation issues?

[DigitalN]

How do those all in one ERV units handle low outdoor air quality? Would you recommend something different if we were building a home and wanted to keep the air inside as fresh as possible during these wildfire seasons we seem to keep having in AB?

[JShrimpma]

Great design. However do you have a design where the kitchen has a proper vent that exhausts into the outside or through the heat exchangers?

[Doubz]

Great video, would this qualify under the PassivHaus certification?

I am looking to move to NW Montana, and more specifically, either the Eureka, Rexford, or, if I go about 50 miles West, Troy or Libby areas--basically right on the border with B.C. Am wondering if any of the GC's there have experience constructing your homes and thought you may know if you have sent some of your homes there. Also, what about financing the purchase--I know here in the USA, you get outside of stick-built/traditional homes, hard to get decent financing. Any ideas in that regard? Really love what you are guys are doing, and it's just me and my two dogs, so going small will work! One final question (sorry)--do you have plans for a garage or is that built separately by a local builder? Thank you--Joel in Arizona (for now)

Hello, I have watched several of you videos, they are informative. I was wondering about the product on the outside of your houses. I prefer low/ no maitencae exteriors, but some of these look like wood siding and that would require repeated staining? Also where does the cellulose come from? Finally are there any Canadian manufacturers for passive house quality windows? Thank you.

How many ductless air exchangers are in this house and in which rooms ?

I’ve always been interested in building a passive home, but the cost seems out of reach for many. I was recently quoted $350 per square foot by the only passive home builder in the Chattanooga area. For most people, that’s simply too expensive. Given that I have a family of five, we would need at least 2, 000 square feet, though I wouldn’t mind a smaller home if it were just me or my partner. I hope prices for these energy-efficient homes become more accessible for the average homebuyer, as currently, only a select few can afford such a build.

Do you recommend ventless dryers? I came across another company where one can use a vented dryer and still obtain under the .6 passive requirement on the blower door test. That surprised me.
Please explain or clarify, if you would, please. Thank you.

[ELIRAXPRT]

What about attic insulation? How are you doing it and what R value?

[julierahn]

Do you offer off-grid options - toilet, water, electrical?

This kind of 'right sized' well built housing is the way we should be building ALL homes going forward. Home construction in the USA is pathetic, nowhere near the standards in other western countries and even upcoming building codes are still pathetic. US homes also tend to be way too large for no good reason...tons of unused, wasted spaces such as formal dining rooms, offices, etc. I will be building a home in the next few years and I will pursue PH standard. However, I need 3 proper bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and I want a basement entertainment space/storm shelter. I suspect all of that can still fit in under 1800sqft total, which is far smaller than a typical 3 bed house in America.

You had 750 sq ft to play with, but produced such a poor layout? Put the kitchen and washer/drying facility across the back of the home, and then have the bedrooms along one side with a Jack and Jill bathroom/visitor's wash room. The front could then be a much larger living room.
