🏠 Fossil fuel free homes ARE possible - and here in Philly! 😍

Last evening we hosted a SOLD OUT Passive House Tour with Solo Real Estate in Francisville. We learned from Bright Common about what makes a house passive, from how it’s first and foremost built around comfort, to the incredible levels of insulation (we could all feel the difference when we stepped inside!), to the ways passive houses prioritize energy efficiency and carbon consciousness.

Thanks to everyone who joined us last night at the SOLD OUT Passive House Tour! We’re grateful to be part of a community that’s curious about what’s possible when we build for comfort, efficiency, and a more climate-conscious future.

This Saturday is ! Why not find the storm drains nearest you and give them some attention, or spend 15 minutes picking up trash around your neighborhood before it reaches the drains? 🗑️
