Learn about an innovative solution to creating energy efficient homes.

That’s the beauty of a “Passive House,” a home with an airtight design that uses 85-90% less energy than the typical house. Meet the architect, the homeowners, and even the furry friends who inhabit these homes and learn why they’ve made the switch.
