All about building and living in a new home built to passive house design standards in Huron County's rural midwestern Ontario. We acknowledge the generosity of many others that have informed and directed our project and in that spirit wish to 'pay it forward' with this blog.

Open House for our new 'Passive House' home - March 2 2019
We would like to welcome our friends and neighbours to come and have a look at what we were up to this past summer. No furnace, no fuel tank, no thermostat - no problem! Carbon-free doesn't mean extra expense, exotic architecture or a compromised standard of living. The Passive House design in Huron County moves us close to fossil fuel free reliance with a comfortable, healthy and sustainable home. #passivehouse #Passivhaus
In the end, we need it all. We need:
1. Radical Efficiency- everything we build should use as little energy as possible.
2. Radical Simplicity - everything we build should be as simple as possible.
3. Radical Sufficiency- what do we actually need? What is the least that will do the job? What is enough?
