Watch Passive Passion

Throughout Europe, thousands of Passive House buildings are constructed in such a way that they require 90% less energy for heating and cooling than a traditional structure. As global temperatures and fuel costs continue to rise, so too does interest in this design method. But while Passive House architects in Europe build mammoth complexes and breathtaking villas, the idea has been slow to catch on in the United States. In Passive Passion, we meet the American builders hoping to open eyes with ambitious projects, including the first Passive House apartment building in the United States, as well as the European experts that helped launch the idea decades ago and continue to improve upon it today.
