Beyond Passive House: The Nature Connection | Tom Bassett-Dilley | TEDxRushU
While energy efficiency is a critical component of sustainability, its application must be guided by principles of health and beauty. This talk introduces the emerging design field of biophilia, the inherent human-nature connection, and show examples of building designs that embody both ultra-efficiency and biophilic design.
Tom Bassett-Dilley, AIA, CPHC®, is a leader in the world of low-energy, health-promoting buildings, presenting locally and nationally on topics of Passive House design, building science, Living Buildings, and green preservation. His firm, TBDA, designed the first certified Passive House buildings in the Chicagoland area, and he continues to lead the movement in Chicago and beyond.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

House plants have amazing science behind them these days too, and how this adds to our well being, improves air quality and reduces VOCs. Thanks NASA for those insights.

I believe the NASA work showed that plants have little indoor benefit. They look great though!
It is just a waste of energy and money to build buildings that are not energy efficient. Why have high utility bills when you can reduce them to zero or near zero. Net Zero and Passive House construction techniques are the future. Saving energy saves money on utilities. Air sealing, great insulation, super efficient heating and air conditioning, LED lighting systems, Triple pane windows and European style triple seal doors, Solar panels with battery storage and an electric vehicle charger in the garage. Air sealing and blower door testing is an under appreciated energy saver.
Tom a visionary bringing mankind to work with nature
superinteresting Tom. I love your vision and that you're working on this.
so many connected thoughts
Great stuff Tom! I'm very inspired.
I want to apologize to this man for the comment section.
Man that was cool, hi from Nova Scotia!
The camera guy is horrible. Most of the time the slides are cut off and you can't see what is being pointed out. What you do see are the knees of the speaker.
The person who films these should focus primarily on the screen. We don't need to see the face of the person speaking. We need to see what he is talking about!!!

Or at LEAST a clear shot of every slide for us to pause and review, Carolyn.

The best way to do this is to frame the speaker to occupy half of the screen, then use a utility camera to capture the screen. Sadly these things are shot dirt cheap and it's probably just one guy running the camera and sound.

its biofilic filming, we want to see flesh speaking also and not just lifeless graphics

Thank you. Yes. I had such trouble following this and it’s a subject I know.
How we can design air conditioning for a three screen multiplex for better indoor air quality
very nice
Is it Fireproof, earthquake-proof, tornado-proof, or flood- proof

Carrie Sue George all of the above! Depending on where you live, of course
Cambien el titulo de esta presentación no tiene nada que ver con la exposición de casas pasivas
Public policy makes a difference. I truly believe these ideas will come from the free market if government allows it, forcing it will only slow down progress like this.
Did homie just say Yin + "Yong?"

@Aaron Thompson Maybe if you're some rich Lord born into Upper Received Pronunciation... I thought it was somewhere between "yang" (rhyming with bang) and "yong" (rhyming with bong). Think of the first sound in the word "yacht", then add a "ng" at the end. Who can say? The Brits have been so lackadaisical when it comes to enforcing rules or any real consistency to English as a whole.

No, I agree. He took nearly 6 minutes for his introduction and I thought it was going to be exclusively about passive homes… But not really. He may be an expert in his field but a little editing is something everyone can use.
Oh dear me . . . So long winded and drawn out and rather stating the obvious . This is not revolutionary or new . No training required . No Architectural qualifications .All this lacked and needed was for the Maharishi Yogi to spring in and endorse it all and complete the ipistle .
Most boring TEDtalk I've ever watched
Million years of human evolution , not even close .Read the Bible .
Americans want a minimum 6000 sq ft house with 35" ceilings giant # 1000 gas miter outside and biggest possible cast iron boiler in the basement, summer time AC make sure is ad least twice oversized , it get hot those days. So you can keep your little house for your self! :)

That's where education comes in. It is takes quite a while for this to become more mainstream but it is gathering momentum and the more that opt for this way of looking at building the cost will reduce, the utilities bills will reduce - a win win for all

Only the lizard people have 35" ceilings. I mean, that's less than 3 feet high!

Not me. No way am I maintaining a house as big as four houses. Sorry I don’t have time. This is not the 1960s anymore. ~~GenX
