When I try to download the report it just takes me to the home page after filling out the survey

"Not my problem" . Yeah, that attitude is what got us to the place we are now. Idiot.

What climate zones is this particular wall assembly good for? (and which is it not for?)

I read the article on disadvantages to green roofs. I just want to leave two points. As far as homes in the States, make sure you have engineered for the additional weight and that the contractor knows how to correctly build a flat roof. P.S. They aren't actually flat. The last point is more and more insurance companies are doing drone surveys and cancelling your homeowners policy if they don't like what they see. So we as a community of green citizens need to make sure we are supporting legislation that keeps this from happening.

What kind of primer do you use on the osb board?

Can this be used for a concrete cold room?

will wood lice eat into the icf slab

I'm looking at a 16+ inch thick wall . . . OVERKILL AND NOT PRACTICLE ! ! !

So where does the excess overfill water run off

Thank you!

Well this is not very Eco. Just a lot of plastic.

Thanks for the vid!

Confused by the “pair” statements

Dooooo what!!??

How did you vent the roof adequately?

whats the slope for?

Found this video is useless.. dude didn't explain actual material.. didn't even touch the insulation.. are those 2 4" insulation hard or soft.. never seen outside install this way

Polar south and solar south are not the same. Always consider that.

Great system. No water = no leaks. Would like to know more on the solar - air part.

Ocean cleanup should partner with this company to use recovered plastic for at least some if these layers. How is this impacted by snowload?

This should of happened 60 or more years ago! Great work! Even if you added electric backup It would have been a boon to home owners and the Earth... Maria Telkes is smiling.

How much do you use per load of laundry ?

How do you deal with the accumulation of dirt over time? As plants decay, more dirt is created from the excess carbon which would increase the weight of the roof over time.

How are the doors and windows installed ?

Wonder what all that mass does for temperature of the structure.

I’d like to know what your basic answer for adding your 8 inches of rock wall on the exterior how are you fasting that and making a salad what are you putting on siding hardy board Stucco what are you doing over top of this and how would this work in the Desert

What did you score the slate with

This is something required at all homes ,thanx

Too bad they wasted the cost of the wire mesh by leaving it on the bottom

Thank you Norway for inventing the green roofs 1200 yrs ago.

I appreciate what you’re doing and have followed your videos since before designing and building my own high performance home. Unfortunately our government has driven the cost of new construction so high that only custom homes built for affluent owners can consider anything that increases building costs beyond the bare minimum. There’s no incentive for production builders to do better. Sad.

Wish you guys were located in Iowa. Any suggestions on how I find the contractor that can build me a passive house for not much more than a regular one? Hard to believe the Edelweiss home didn't cost much more than it did.

With a vapour barrier/reductive paint, what is the suggested method for when a homeowner wants to screw something into a wall? I typically use anchors on almost everything in my home, but if the paint is the barrier, is the tight fit of the screw against plastic anchor against gypsum enough to reduce/prevent air movement/humidity movement?

is there a video of the stage before this, the pipes and compact fill going down and placed before this slab is built??

No shingles but 20 lairs of manmade coverings to make it water proof and hold water. Lol

This is ridiculous. And probably a symptom of having access to too much money. It's interesting to watch the overly indulgent convince themselves that they being eco-friendly

R47 the guy is standing in front of a wall of windows? With 2’ wall in between. Sorry.

I want R-60 in the attic of my new home, but commercial insulation installers are telling me that it might be too heavy for the drywall ceiling to support, and that they won't be responsible for any buckling of the drywall. Do you have drywall on this ceiling? If so, how is it holding up with R-95 rockwool.

Can I do this to a tent ?

I have a question: If building a "Passive house" is to reduce CO2, have you ever calculated when you use these "double studs" how much extra CO2 you've already created for the environment? All the extra lumbers, nail works, transportation etc., all produce CO2 to produce, and bring to the job site. You are building two houses to achieve this "passive house" concept. Have you ever seriously considered and calculated the CO2 cost? It seems you are wasting much more energy than you can save from a regular "high-performance" house. The only party that benefits from this concept is the "Builder, manufacture, and all trades." If you are serious, please show proof with calculations, like the old saying - Numbers never lie.

Looking to build an earth berm home in western Pa. Any recommendations for architects? Thanks

Can you use this system with basements

Can this be adapted to a small workshop that is under 500 sq. ft.? I definitely like the idea of solar heating. I am also considering solar with batteries for electricity for this building. Please advise. Building location is near Washington , DC. It's not that cold there.

i think electrical heating of the sub floor slab would be better idea.

Doesn't your insulation need to extend beyond the outer walls to prevent frost from working under the slab?

I dont understand how this can be built without footers. That wouldnt pass inspection around here.

Thank you for this video!

I am wondering how you are installing your in floor water pipes when you have the mesh held up with metal spikes? You will be unable to walk on it anywhere without pushing it through the plastic base

Very nice.

The walls are r40, But the big windows have r2.5. I doubt the extra cost will pay off.
