Great information! Answered a lot of my questions. It has given me confident that I can do this right. I also know there are educated people out there that can be a great resource information. I am going to add insulation to my house!!!!! Can't wait, Terry

That you said "taping plywood or osb is an air barrier" is absolute bullshit..

Thank you so much for this amazing and informative training. I enjoyed and learned a lot.

Wow. I didn’t know that such an integrated iaq control system that accounts for vocs and dew point exists for a home owner! Amazing!!

Great topic more similar to my research topic

What book do you use for green appraisal?

Thank you very much for this informative course. 🙏💐

Thank you very much. 🌹🍀

So impressive to see a homeowner so involved in the design and construction of their own home. They started with a basic Sun Plans design then took it to beyond Passive House standards with the addition of the earth tube feature - so innovative! All the Sun Plans homes are adaptable in such a manner.

Climate Change will impact everyone. It is making weather events more extreme. Individuals, politicians and businesses need to dump fossil fuels and install solar energy. We are destroying the very air, land and water resources we all need to survive. We must take better care of the natural environment. All government buildings must install solar panels. All businesses must install solar panels. Coal power plants need to shut down and be replaced with solar energy.

Humans are the only species that are destroying the very air, land and water resources that we need to survive, No other species destroys their own habitat Think about that.

Great presentation: really appreciate the energy modeling and analysis of results, as well as quick overview of lots of important construction details. Bravo!

So interesting we are going back to insulating with wood fibre again, I come across many old homes using sawdust - of course it is no long an efficient insulation. Lots of business potential here in Canadian Boreal too!

Good presentation!

Your talk, vocabulary like an ego doctor. Traditional arch respond to climate, local materials. Architecture specially in America is low quality because is driven by profit. Look at the urban planning. Prototypes, ufos all over. Industrial Revolution, corporation, developers and code driven to make money!!!

If you remove carbon you are getting rid of humans and oxigen. Also, what are the trees gonna do? Your science is endoctrination. Passive architecture and regionalism is older than you!!!!

Bravo! Thanks for a great review from the perspective of the architect, builder, and owner!

Very well done and interesting presentation.

You are so right that natural stuff is not always safe. Like wheat is natural but its bad if you have celiac. And corn is natural too but its bad if you have a corn allergy!! Its so very hard to avoid corn as the derivitives are in so many things! 😐

Do your life re view of what is carbon! Another thing is that all your new technologies are base on technocratic belief systems!!! Wake up the real threat is dusty electricity, emf ( biological life) batteries as pollution and solar panels also material pollutions. Chemicals, plastics in food, medicine in city water, fluoride in water, and moreover geoengineering ( crap in the air to manipulate weather) The worst pollution is all your ideas that are not sustainable because all project don’t have 5 year payback. The economic deception to the We the people is unacceptable. May the truth free humanity of these technocrats tyrants high on no science. We live in a reality made of plasma ( free energy) By the way carbon is part of the chain of natural universal life force. Trees convert carbon to oxigen. Sad seeing you hypnotized!!

Edit out the entire 34:54 onward. Add in a presentation to get back to the point about WHAT investments have the highest returns. You completely lost the thread.

When you say “embodied” you mean sunk CO2 emissions. They’re done. That’s the emissions from all of the A modules. You have a source for that. Great. Don’t care. What the number as a percentage of the entire sunk effect? We’re treating CO2 like money and interest, so what’s the rate of return in reduced operating emissions??? Where is it?

Why is the zip sheathing on the exterior ceiling facing (green side) inward toward the house instead of facing outward away from the house like the zip sheathing on the exterior walls?

You’re a god damn Legend!!! 👏🙏

Climate change reseach and response is mainly by driven by government funding and intergovernmental policies. These bodies sometimes produce innovative methods, as seen in this episode, even through the typical climate (control) dogma.

We've watched the adding insulation when residing and are doing that this month. (Are the tax credits able to be claimed in the future for doing it in 2024?) We couldn't put the project off any further, but would still love to have the tax credit.)

These tax credits are a joke you get more money the less income you have but most people with low income don’t own their home.

Invaluable information for designing our house! Thank you!

Curious if these credits are available for new construction.

Bicycles, ebikes, electric cargo bicycles, robo taxis and escooters are great options for last mile, short distance travel. Reduced transportation costs and fossil fuels free transportation. Cities need to do more to encourage people to ride bicycles by providing SAFE, PROTECTED BIKE LANES and trails. Every adult and child should own a bicycle and ride it regularly. Bicycles are healthy exercise and fossil fuels free transportation. Electric bicycles are bringing many older adults back to cycling. Ride to work, ride to school, ride for health or ride for fun. Children should be able to ride a bicycle to school without having to dodge cars and trucks. Separated and protected bike lanes are required. It will also make the roads safer for automobile drivers. Transportation planners and elected officials need to encourage people to walk, bike and take public transportation. Healthy exercise and fossil fuels free transportation. In the future cities will be redesigned for people not cars. Crazy big parking lots will be transformed with solar canopies generating free energy from the sun.

Large roof overhangs add beauty and protect the doors, windows and siding from rain and sun damage. Architects need to include larger overhangs in their plans and drawings.

Every home and business should install a rain water collection and storage system along with solar panels. Even in areas where rain is infrequent it is crazy to waste the little rain that does fall and waste it. We need to stop planting green lawns and switch to local native plantings around homes. It is crazy to plant lawns and build golf courses in dry desert areas. We waste too much water and electricity. the future is electric. Wind and solar energy along with electric vehicles are the future. Stop using fossil fuels. There is a climate crisis.

I am looking to have passive solar incorporated into by new build and I currently have designs which are drafted. I am wondering if there are any opportunities to collaborate with any of the presenters to ensure that we incorporate the passive design.

🤣🤣🤣 Russian Arbalit. It was invented in the Soviet Union!

in a zone 4 with EIFS system and rock wool, what would be the best vapor barrier to use inside?

plumbers who charge more are not nice folks.. Lets face it.. one water in one water out and a pt overflow pipe.. Same on all water heaters.. takes the same amount of time.. Plugging in a 120 line is a lot faster than a 240 line. Still attaching a 240 line should only take 10 minutes As to how much power is needed mostly a factor of the incoming temp of the water from the ground. in most places 50 to 60 degree. For me a simple upgrade which virtually no one does is to temper the incoming water with solar thermal. Does not take a lot of power to go from 100 to 110 degree incoming water to the HP tank. In some cases the hp might never turn on.

Here's a summary: - 120 volt heat pump water heaters plug directly into a standard wall outlet, making them easier to install than 240 volt models which require a dedicated circuit. They have lower power but larger tank sizes to store more hot water. - A field study of 32 homes in California found 120 volt heat pumps reduced the amount of energy used to heat water by 85% on average compared to gas water heaters. They provided satisfactory hot water and most users were happy with performance. - Up-sizing the tank 1 full size when switching from gas/propane is recommended, as heat pumps have lower "first hour ratings" for recharging hot water use. Proper sizing is important to avoid runouts. - Installation is typically a one-day process for plumbers. Cost is similar to 240 volt models but more than gas initially, but savings on energy bills often outweigh the difference over time. - Load shifting studies are exploring automatically pre-heating water during off-peak periods to reduce energy costs and grid impacts. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) provides tax credits to help cover installation costs. - Performance is better in warmer climates but cold climate studies are also underway. Proper room sizing and ventilation are important for heat pump operation in colder zones.

Excellent video. Thank you.

"Promo SM" 🍀

There are no air borne viruses what a load of bollocks

It was great Class... Looking Forward for more class

@emupassive Really superb work.

Now I see why European windows becoming more popular , just because Andersens and others do not want to pay Joe

Interested in incorporating GABLOK with passive solar home.

What happens when the lights go out? How much does the 'New: technology cost? I have priced washers, I'll get a few more years out of my 20 year old Maytag before I spend a months wages on a new one. What is the carbon cost to mine, process and build them? Including getting the raw materials around the planet? How do I stay warm when Mother Nature dumps an ice storm on the town 40 miles away that my electricty comes from and they won't get to my community of 30 people until the community with 10,000 peole are turned back on? Last time it took 11 days, Thank God for the gas stove that kept us warm. Green is good but another 100 years before it is economically and practical. When are you going to block the sun? It causes cancer.

Thank you for this very informative video on a confusing subject. I have a question I'm hoping you can provide guidance: -Zone 4 (Seattle) -1920s house with 2x4 walls without insulation -removed old siding and putting on new WRB over sheathing. -over the WRB we will be installing a 6mm rainscreen -new siding over above Question: we were going to blow in insulation into the stud space but I'm concerned about trapped condensation. If the stud cavity remains uninsulated, this would allow for better drying? Thanks!

Is there any way to get a PDF of the presentation?

Your SEO score is too low. As a result, your video does not appear on UA-cam's search page. I can optimise your video if you want. Without proper SEO, more engagement is not possible sir.

You need to include a link in the description to the website referenced in the video..

OMG. I LAUGHTED SO HARD. GREAT VIDEO. AMEN !
