The “Thomas House Project” was designed based on the aesthetic theme of fire, water, earth, and air. The four elements were tied into this passive solar, net zero home both inside and out.
Every Day is Earth Day (in a Passive Net Zero House)
Today we explore Earth Day in Alberta and what that means for our Passive, Net Zero home, energy sources and emissions! Cautiously Optimistic Earth Day!
Building Envelope of Justice
The framing is complete on the Thomas House Project! The building envelope, vapour/air barrier and weatherproofing strategies are now being implemented, but not without some learning lessons.
Energy is Everything
Our initial modelling came out pretty good, but we can tighten it up! As well, we consider different heating options for a very efficient home, while considering the impact our heating systems will have on our future solar photovoltaic system.
