“We had a choice, we could take our assets, such as they were, and we could put them in some sort of investment portfolio....

...Or we could evolve a lifestyle that says we are going to reduce our costs as much as possible.”- Bob Donough

WHY PASSIVE HOUSE?

Summ


Bob Donough stated that we wanted to invest our savings and other assets to create a home that:

1) Minimized our day-to-day living expenses

2) Conserved energy use

3) Was constructed using sustainable building practices

4) Allowed them to “age in place.”

Developing Common Goals

Summ


“...the team has to be integrated to a much deeper level than even integrated project delivery. There has to be more than that. You literally have to sit at the same table, see eye-to-eye, and try and understand what is being built, why, and how. The designer has to understand what is being put in place and how it is getting sealed, while the field crew and the contractor need to understand what the intention is behind every line to execute them correctly.” - Alex Boetzel

Picking Products“The electric cookware, the range and the oven were the worst. Energy star doesn't rate those. We did not know which ones to pick. We ended up picking based on price and features.” - Bob

Photos by Michael Shaw

Successes- Conserves energy/minimizes everyday expenses- Positively impacts the way the owner operates the house

Stumbling Blocks- Difficulty specifying products
