It's been nearly two years since my last post and I've been meaning to follow-up with some passive house post construction articles--as I believe that sort of information is lacking online.
Now that Lisa and I have a good number of years under our belt living in our passive house, I will be posting some additional stories based upon our real-world experiences.
I continue to receive questions from readers interested in passive house (or energy efficient) construction and I would hope these upcoming articles can answer some of them. I am open to suggestions for other topics that may be of interest.
Topics planned, include:
- Real-world heating/cooling performance
- Electricity monitoring with SiteSage (formerly eMonitor)
- Earthtube status update
- ERV performance & maintenance
- Development cost analysis versus house appraisal
In the meantime, I realized that I have not shared any pictures of the interior of the house.
As I indicated at the outset of our project documentation, we wanted to design a luxury house that looked more conventional and less like a science project.
We think we hit this design goal. Below are some pictures and videos of the interior of the house shortly after construction and before move-in.
