Here are the live survey results from this webinar " Based on the survey results, people learned about innovative building materials such as the Perfect Block, Fastfoot, insulated concrete forms, and timber HP Batts wood fiber insulation. They also gained insights into new construction techniques for high-performance foundations and the use of double stud walls for energy efficiency. Additionally, there was interest in the collaboration between students and firms representing new technologies, and the potential for cost-effective vocational educational programs in high schools. Questions that still remain include inquiries about reusing water removed from the system, the carbon impact of construction processes, and the specific details of the new foundation system mentioned in the survey." What did you think?
Thank you very much for this amazing training. 💐🙏
Thank you! Let us know one new thing you learned.
Great information! Answered a lot of my questions. It has given me confident that I can do this right. I also know there are educated people out there that can be a great resource information. I am going to add insulation to my house!!!!! Can't wait, Terry
Send us photos of your install. Will you get a pre and post home energy score before the install?
That you said "taping plywood or osb is an air barrier" is absolute bullshit..
Thank you so much for this amazing and informative training. I enjoyed and learned a lot.

@@GreenHomeInstitute Different infrastructures need to be co-designed.
So impressive to see a homeowner so involved in the design and construction of their own home. They started with a basic Sun Plans design then took it to beyond Passive House standards with the addition of the earth tube feature - so innovative! All the Sun Plans homes are adaptable in such a manner.
Climate Change will impact everyone. It is making weather events more extreme. Individuals, politicians and businesses need to dump fossil fuels and install solar energy. We are destroying the very air, land and water resources we all need to survive. We must take better care of the natural environment. All government buildings must install solar panels. All businesses must install solar panels. Coal power plants need to shut down and be replaced with solar energy.
Humans are the only species that are destroying the very air, land and water resources that we need to survive, No other species destroys their own habitat Think about that.
Great presentation: really appreciate the energy modeling and analysis of results, as well as quick overview of lots of important construction details. Bravo!
Thank you Dale. What is one new thing you learned?
So interesting we are going back to insulating with wood fibre again, I come across many old homes using sawdust - of course it is no long an efficient insulation. Lots of business potential here in Canadian Boreal too!
Good presentation!
Thank you! What is one new thing you learned?
Your talk, vocabulary like an ego doctor. Traditional arch respond to climate, local materials. Architecture specially in America is low quality because is driven by profit. Look at the urban planning. Prototypes, ufos all over. Industrial Revolution, corporation, developers and code driven to make money!!!
If you remove carbon you are getting rid of humans and oxigen. Also, what are the trees gonna do? Your science is endoctrination. Passive architecture and regionalism is older than you!!!!
Bravo! Thanks for a great review from the perspective of the architect, builder, and owner!
Thank you Dale! What is one new thing you learned?
Very well done and interesting presentation.
You are so right that natural stuff is not always safe. Like wheat is natural but its bad if you have celiac. And corn is natural too but its bad if you have a corn allergy!! Its so very hard to avoid corn as the derivitives are in so many things! 😐
Do your life re view of what is carbon! Another thing is that all your new technologies are base on technocratic belief systems!!! Wake up the real threat is dusty electricity, emf ( biological life) batteries as pollution and solar panels also material pollutions. Chemicals, plastics in food, medicine in city water, fluoride in water, and moreover geoengineering ( crap in the air to manipulate weather) The worst pollution is all your ideas that are not sustainable because all project don’t have 5 year payback. The economic deception to the We the people is unacceptable. May the truth free humanity of these technocrats tyrants high on no science. We live in a reality made of plasma ( free energy) By the way carbon is part of the chain of natural universal life force. Trees convert carbon to oxigen. Sad seeing you hypnotized!!
Edit out the entire 34:54 onward. Add in a presentation to get back to the point about WHAT investments have the highest returns. You completely lost the thread.
When you say “embodied” you mean sunk CO2 emissions. They’re done. That’s the emissions from all of the A modules. You have a source for that. Great. Don’t care. What the number as a percentage of the entire sunk effect? We’re treating CO2 like money and interest, so what’s the rate of return in reduced operating emissions??? Where is it?
Why is the zip sheathing on the exterior ceiling facing (green side) inward toward the house instead of facing outward away from the house like the zip sheathing on the exterior walls?
"to facilitate taping from the underside rather than the top. the tape needs to be on the green side" - Michael Klement
@@GreenHomeInstitute The green part of zip sheathing is the water barrier. In an exterior wall installation, the green side facing outward makes sense to protect the OSB substrate and the interior from outside weather. In an exterior ceiling installation, one would likewise expect the same outward facing orientation to protect the OSB and interior from weather from above. With the green side facing inward, wouldn't a roof leak damage the OSB substrate of the zip sheathing because the weather barrier is on the opposite side of where the weather protection is needed?
@@GreenHomeInstitute From the 12/13/2023 revision of the Zip System Installation Manual: Page 16: "Install ZIP System sheathing panels positioned with the water-resistive barrier facing outside." Page 40: "Install ZIP System sheathing panels with the overlay facing outside towards the sky."
@@jeremyjedynak Hi Jeremy - Thank you. If you have a specific question I would recommend contacting the building team directly at Fireside Homes Construction in Michigan.
@@GreenHomeInstituteMy specific question remains unanswered above.
You’re a god damn Legend!!! 👏🙏
Climate change reseach and response is mainly by driven by government funding and intergovernmental policies. These bodies sometimes produce innovative methods, as seen in this episode, even through the typical climate (control) dogma.
We've watched the adding insulation when residing and are doing that this month. (Are the tax credits able to be claimed in the future for doing it in 2024?) We couldn't put the project off any further, but would still love to have the tax credit.)
These tax credits are a joke you get more money the less income you have but most people with low income don’t own their home.
Invaluable information for designing our house! Thank you!
Curious if these credits are available for new construction.

Bicycles, ebikes, electric cargo bicycles, robo taxis and escooters are great options for last mile, short distance travel. Reduced transportation costs and fossil fuels free transportation. Cities need to do more to encourage people to ride bicycles by providing SAFE, PROTECTED BIKE LANES and trails. Every adult and child should own a bicycle and ride it regularly. Bicycles are healthy exercise and fossil fuels free transportation. Electric bicycles are bringing many older adults back to cycling. Ride to work, ride to school, ride for health or ride for fun. Children should be able to ride a bicycle to school without having to dodge cars and trucks. Separated and protected bike lanes are required. It will also make the roads safer for automobile drivers. Transportation planners and elected officials need to encourage people to walk, bike and take public transportation. Healthy exercise and fossil fuels free transportation. In the future cities will be redesigned for people not cars. Crazy big parking lots will be transformed with solar canopies generating free energy from the sun.
Large roof overhangs add beauty and protect the doors, windows and siding from rain and sun damage. Architects need to include larger overhangs in their plans and drawings.
Every home and business should install a rain water collection and storage system along with solar panels. Even in areas where rain is infrequent it is crazy to waste the little rain that does fall and waste it. We need to stop planting green lawns and switch to local native plantings around homes. It is crazy to plant lawns and build golf courses in dry desert areas. We waste too much water and electricity. the future is electric. Wind and solar energy along with electric vehicles are the future. Stop using fossil fuels. There is a climate crisis.
I am looking to have passive solar incorporated into by new build and I currently have designs which are drafted. I am wondering if there are any opportunities to collaborate with any of the presenters to ensure that we incorporate the passive design.
Glad you are interested in passive solar. Where are you located? Ideally, there would be a GreenHome Institute member near you with Passive Solar experience who could consult with you.

@@madbuckets08 - Here is @Sunplans response which was not working " I do not see any GHI members in Nova Scotia, but Solterre Design does appear to specialize in passive solar so maybe they review designs by others. Alternatively, the webinar was intended to provide house designers with basic passive solar concepts and tools to evaluate designs so perhaps have your draftsman watch it.

plumbers who charge more are not nice folks.. Lets face it.. one water in one water out and a pt overflow pipe.. Same on all water heaters.. takes the same amount of time.. Plugging in a 120 line is a lot faster than a 240 line. Still attaching a 240 line should only take 10 minutes As to how much power is needed mostly a factor of the incoming temp of the water from the ground. in most places 50 to 60 degree. For me a simple upgrade which virtually no one does is to temper the incoming water with solar thermal. Does not take a lot of power to go from 100 to 110 degree incoming water to the HP tank. In some cases the hp might never turn on.
Thank you for your comments Steve. We do not see solar thermal being offered anymore. One issue is, when you over produce PV, you get paid but when you overproduce solar hot water, now what? Do you see it more often now?

@@GreenHomeInstitute The reality is that all it takes is a drain back tank and a taco type inline pump. Generally you would have a 50 -80 gallon storage tank and a heat exchanger so the drain back is separate from the domestic heater.. Most days it will keep your domestic water heater from cycling
@@GreenHomeInstitute My suggestion is undersize the array so that one does not heat the water beyond what is really needed on a high output day I figure it is for pre heating for the domestic water
Here's a summary: - 120 volt heat pump water heaters plug directly into a standard wall outlet, making them easier to install than 240 volt models which require a dedicated circuit. They have lower power but larger tank sizes to store more hot water. - A field study of 32 homes in California found 120 volt heat pumps reduced the amount of energy used to heat water by 85% on average compared to gas water heaters. They provided satisfactory hot water and most users were happy with performance. - Up-sizing the tank 1 full size when switching from gas/propane is recommended, as heat pumps have lower "first hour ratings" for recharging hot water use. Proper sizing is important to avoid runouts. - Installation is typically a one-day process for plumbers. Cost is similar to 240 volt models but more than gas initially, but savings on energy bills often outweigh the difference over time. - Load shifting studies are exploring automatically pre-heating water during off-peak periods to reduce energy costs and grid impacts. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) provides tax credits to help cover installation costs. - Performance is better in warmer climates but cold climate studies are also underway. Proper room sizing and ventilation are important for heat pump operation in colder zones.
Thank you. Will you consider using these for you and your clients?
@@GreenHomeInstitute yes only because of the built in tempering valve. Saves a lot of time doing an additional installation. Always better erring to being safe.. Scalding is not a fun thing
@@GreenHomeInstitute It's my plan to install heatpump water heaters wherever I can. 120v models seem less than optimal (compared to 240v), but definitely fill a niche and should be embraced.
Excellent video. Thank you.

Now I see why European windows becoming more popular , just because Andersens and others do not want to pay Joe
Thank you for your comment Andrey - The windows are verified via energy star to qualify in the energy star program. Going above and beyond that they can get ratings in the Home Innovations Lab or certified in one of the passive house organizations. If an American windows can meet the standard, it will get listed.
Interested in incorporating GABLOK with passive solar home.
Passive solar homes can be built with almost any construction system such as ICFs, SIPS, or conventional stick framing. The inherent thermal mass of ICF can be a plus, and there are many ICF manufacturers to choose from based on your location. Slab-on-grade construction also has inherent thermal mass.
What happens when the lights go out? How much does the 'New: technology cost? I have priced washers, I'll get a few more years out of my 20 year old Maytag before I spend a months wages on a new one. What is the carbon cost to mine, process and build them? Including getting the raw materials around the planet? How do I stay warm when Mother Nature dumps an ice storm on the town 40 miles away that my electricty comes from and they won't get to my community of 30 people until the community with 10,000 peole are turned back on? Last time it took 11 days, Thank God for the gas stove that kept us warm. Green is good but another 100 years before it is economically and practical. When are you going to block the sun? It causes cancer.
Hey Joe, that's a great question. In our Report, we tried to answer it as well as we could in the Resiliency section of the report. In this video, that's under the "Thermal Resilience" and "Inclusive R-value" sections - from about 36:48 to 38:48 (we didn't spend that much time on this point in this presentation). If you're interested in learning more, we covered the topic of thermal resilience more in depth in this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/n2yZk6tmnbusnrw.htmlsi=dgaWc5HzC9tOCQk5
Yup, the poor folks (the majority of us) are going to take it in the rear while they make millions out off this scam. Their goal is to erase the last scam, fossil fuel leaving us poor folks huddled in the dark when the lights go out. Just how well does a heat pump do when the lights go out?
The video and research focus on 5 performance metrics of common building standards for new single family residential construction. The carbon footprint of replacing an existing washing machine with a new one is a different topic but certainly interesting as well. You stay warmer/cooler in periods of outages by super insulating & air tightening your home. Your house maintains its existing temperature for longer periods of time and it is unrelated to the energy source that you use to heat or cool your house. I think it is wise to have a backup energy source if your primary one has an interruption. Remember that you can have unplanned natural gas outages as well. It is always curious to hear that "green" is not economical. There were many slides that compared site heating and cooling between the various building standards. I think the mild climate zones had a 70% reduction in heating and cooling when comparing PHI Passive House to 2018 IECC. Wouldn't you prefer to pay 70% less each month for heating and cooling, year after year, decade after decade? A lot of us (60%+) in the USA are living paycheck to paycheck and it is ridiculous that people advocate for garbage code-built housing that costs homeowners and renters a lot more money in the long run. People hear the word "green" and think it is something for rich people but, from a money perspective, would actually benefit people that do not have a lot of money much much more. It is no surprise that our electric & gas utility providers lobby to stop energy efficient homes. You could try using sunblock when you are outside.
@@Steelsnort You assume everybody is building a new home. Just how many people live in homes that are fifty years or older? The reality is those of us in those old homes can barely make it thanks to greed and the handouts to everybody else but Americans. Green is good, just 100 years off . . .
@@JoeOutdoors Well said.
Thank you for this very informative video on a confusing subject. I have a question I'm hoping you can provide guidance: -Zone 4 (Seattle) -1920s house with 2x4 walls without insulation -removed old siding and putting on new WRB over sheathing. -over the WRB we will be installing a 6mm rainscreen -new siding over above Question: we were going to blow in insulation into the stud space but I'm concerned about trapped condensation. If the stud cavity remains uninsulated, this would allow for better drying? Thanks!
