When it comes to our affordable housing crisis, one clear solution is to build more housing, but given our warming planet, it's vital to ensure that our new and renovated buildings don't contribute to the climate crisis. Any new structure built to inefficient standards bakes in that inefficiency for the life of the building, and that's time we don't have. That's why we advocate for Passive House standards. The Passive House Network does not endorse candidates, but we thought it would be valuable to take a look at potential polices that would address our housing crisis and see how Passive House might be able to turn them into climate solutions as well.

Cold feet? A chill down your spine? Halloween is the season for unexpected visitors, so we wouldn't worry about the trick-or-treaters at your door. We're more concerned about what's coming in through your windows and walls. That drafty breeze should NOT be invited inside, and neither should the bugs and other pests that might be creeping in because your membrane isn't as airtight as it should be. If these problems sound familiar, you need a Passive House. With certified windows, verified insulation levels, and an airtight membrane that keeps out all kinds of homeowner horrors, Passive House standards are your solution to the issues haunting your house. Learn more about becoming a Certified Passive House Designer and banish your woes once and for all. We're still accepting applications for our Fall cohort: https://hubs.ly/Q02V5Dw20 (But maybe stock up on some garlic.

Listen, if you're bundled up under all of those layers as part of some elaborate Halloween costume, then by all means, please continue. If, however, you're staying under the covers because you're avoiding turning on the heat and the related energy bills that come with it, then trust us, there's a better way. With a Passive House, you can stay comfortable indoors all year around without draining your wallet. Passive House standards ensure your house is designed with efficiency in mind, keeping your house at a comfortable temperature without cranking the heat or air conditioning. You can learn how to design with Passive House by becoming a Certified Passive House Designer. Our flexible training lets you learn at your own pace, giving you the time to study up on insulation and airtightness while still letting you visit your daily haunts. Our Fall CPHD cohort just started, but there's still time to join in on the fun.
