🏡 The #PassiveHouse classes—Classic, Plus, Premium—combine top efficiency with renewable energy. Same PH/EnerPHit standards, but PER scores determine the class: more efficiency + more renewables = higher tier.

“We are all inching ever closer to the void, but some of us are looking at the stars”. So might Oscar Wilde have said if summarising this fortnight’s mix of #sustainablebuilding, #renovation and #climate conniption news.

This week on the #fredericton #yfc #passivehouse drywall was installed. Next week the mudding and taping (or “crack filling”) will start. Sam the electrician came by and hooked up a few lights.
A view of the future kitchen. The walls and ceiling have drywall sheets screwed to them. There are a few ceiling lights turned on. A picture of the primary bedroom. On the far wall is a large window and there’s a smaller window on the left. The walls and ceiling have drywall, the floor is wood.

The insulators arrived Monday Oct 12 to put the blown-in cellulose insulation into the exterior walls and the attic. The walls were done first and took 206 bags of insulation. After adding the attic insulation, over 300 bags of insulation were used. #yfc #fredericton #passivehouse

+: A Passive House accommodation setup in many different communities. B&B’s, AirBnB’s, small hotels, whatever works.
A main roadblock right now to #PassivHaus #PassiveHouse in Canada is the lack of examples.
Unless you spend time in one, you really, simply don’t understand how good buildings can be.

On Thursday (Oct 22), the windows and doors arrived. Not all were installed before the end of the work week, but the ones that were installed look fantastic.
A corner bedroom without drywall. Pink fiberglass insulation fills the cavities between the wooden framing. The floor is grey concrete and the ceiling is exposed wooden trusses. A woman wearing a purple rain coat and knit toque stands by one of the windows and gazes out. Through the windows, various trees and branches can be seen. A front door that is tan in colour but appears slightly green in the picture. The door has a window in the top 25% and a clear sidelight. The house around the door is covered in blue Siga house wrap. On the ground in front of the door is a load of tongue in groove boards that will be used for the ceiling of the porch.
