Project CO+OP

Passive House Site Tour! Join me in Cushing, Maine, tomorrow (May 12) from 2-4 pm ET for a presentation and site tour of the Winchenbach-Gray Residence: https://buff.ly/WVZaXr6

Still under construction, the home has ideal solar orientation, high-quality windows, and generous insulation.

As the CPHC on the project, I was thrilled to see preliminary airtightness tests coming back well below Passive House requirements, and my energy modeling projects it will have an Energy Use Intensity (EUI) of -11 (or less!).

Want to see a Passive House in progress? Come on out to Cushing, Maine, on May 12 for a presentation and site tour: https://buff.ly/WVZaXr6

Join me, the owners, the project team, and passivhausMAINE for the ultimate peek under the hood of this exceptionally high-performing (0.04 cfm50/sf) Passive House—free for phME members and $10 for everyone else.

Because it’s still under construction, you get to see the double-stud walls, thermal bridge-free transitions, exterior taping strategy, mechanical systems, and more.

Hope to see you there!

Set in the heart of White Mountain National Forest, Clay Brook Passive House is the first Phius-certified single-family Passive House home in New Hampshire. Plus, it currently holds the record for the lowest HERS score (without renewables) in the country at 17!

I recently sat down with Jay Fox, of the Passive House Accelerator, to talk about my journey as an architect and the work we did to bring Clay Brook Passive House to life.
