Given our local climate, it felt like building passive would be a great fit for us. - Ryan Strynatka
Why Anyone/Everyone Can Build This Way
Although Passive Homes may seem extreme for some when it comes to designing and building a new home, it's clear from these homeowners that it doesn't have to be complicated, and is about paying attention to the right things:
It is a great way to live - with very significant energy savings over time. We found ourselves entirely warm throughout the winter, and the constant intake and circulation of fresh air translate into better air quality. Consistent temperatures and the lack of "cold spots" were a tremendous improvement over our previous living situation. Another consideration is that building passive forces you to think about the effective use of space. It doesn't need to be more expensive than a conventional build if you're willing to compromise on the square footage or design more effectively. - Ryan Strynatka
