Talking to builders, architects, designers, suppliers, owners, and other experts in the Passivhaus and high-performance building space. We discuss the benefits of Passivhaus buildings and what to say when spreading the word beyond those who already know.
Hilary Padget and Anthony Harrington are co-founders and partners at pHdesign, a New York-based architecture firm specializing in energy-efficient and environmentally responsible buildings. They strongly believe in the environmental and optimization side of Passive House and have developed a practical course for architecture students that shows how to incorporate it into their everyday design practice.
In this episode, we discuss pHdesign's client-led journey into Passive House, using and seeing Passive House as both a design tool and a backstop for discussions around why things are specified a certain way in a project, and how they embrace the ethos of Passive House in every project, whether it's going to be certified or not.
