One of our larger projects of the past year. Collaboration with a local builder we took part in our first passive build. From start to finish the new challenges of a tighter more efficient build were an eye opener into the deeper points of building science. This guy is packed with features for a better living environment from the European style windows and double wall assemblies to air sealing and proper venting details. The exterior cladding is a first for us as well using a full open clad system with integrated rain screens and WRB to keep that air flowing and things properly drying. Definitely a whole lot of head scratching and communication with the contractor(which is most definitely needed on these types of projects) but the outcome is truly worth it. The guys crushed this one. Looking forward to employing some new techniques on our next builds.
