- This is the first episode in a video series made in 2013 focused on the theory, design, and construction of a Passive House project located in Falmouth, Massachusetts. Architect Steven Baczek and Fine Homebuilding Editorial Director Justin Fink start this series by looking at the processes and details that it takes to create a super-insulated, energy-efficient home.

I don't think most people realize how hard it is to get a house this air tight. But in actuality if you get your house half as tight as passive house you're already much better off than a spec house.
It's all about the almighty dollar here in the US. Most builders use whatever techniques allow them to make the most profit on a project. Also, most home owners would prefer to spend the budget on aesthetics rather than efficiency and doing both makes for a far more expensive home. The extra cost is definitely worth it to me as I only plan to build one forever home in my life, but a lot of people can't see the many long term benefits of building for efficiency and durability.
We own a design build firm, most people aren’t willing to pay the extra for efficiency. Sadly.
@@CElton-mi3il Well, I think it depends on how much extra you're trying to charge and how you present it to the homeowner. Building for efficiency and durability shouldn't add more than 10 percent to overall cost, compared to a standard production home. Plus many builders simply aren't accustomed to building tight efficient homes so they want to overcharge for the extra planning and work involved.
@@dlg5485”building for efficiency and durability shouldn’t add more than 10% cost”
Where did you come up with that figure and how much efficiency and durability is that supposed to account for?
This house was done a while back now it was featured on Matt risingers channel last year
I would very much like to see the rest of this series. Is it available somewhere? didn't look like it was on the youtube channel
Steve! Love your appearances on the the build show. My eventual retirement home will definitely be designed and built to passive house standards, complete with solar power and a battery backup. It's the only thing that makes sense anymore and it's easy if you design it in from the start. Good stuff!
Thank you
Great series... I'm in :-)
The 7:00 minute mark of the conversation is very important, even when implementing any aspect of building above and beyond standard code. This is why the vast majority of builders and the lending institutions are to blame for substandard building practices. They are so resistant to change.
Thank you
I have a question which foundation you prefer pier and beam or slab?
Over simplifying home efficiency: thicker walls & roof, tighter. Envelope seal
Need to upgrate concept with iso-slab 18" model insulated structurale slab with frowt protection,18" model is specific for double wall project with R52 under slab.
Tell us where we get the passive materials....
Where's the other videos..?
So if I wanted the inside measurements when finished to be 15 ft x 30 ft. 450 sf.. I would have the outside space of 19 ft x 34 ft? The walls would be that thick? Even more with the roof hang off.
12" Walls on each side (but 6" is already there) so you really only add 12" overall in both directions
ICF is my choice!
filmed with iphone 4s?
360p? I felt I was watching a video from 1998.
Hahahahhahahah I carry a big stick 🤣🤣🤣💪❤️
To this day no contractors ask the question, what if it gets wet? Spray foam is energy efficient but in the life span of a home it will have water damage. That stuff needs scraped off to dry the structure. If a leak on exterior wall with standard insulation can go undetected for a period of time to cause for, how much more damage will come if that home has spray foam? I've been in water mitigation for 20 years and no one ever asks these questions still. All I think about with my home is how to reduce the damage when the water comes cause it will
Gotta account for the fact that it's new construction - to a higher level of quality, and no energy bills. I'd say by the time the place goes bad for the first, the savings will have made up for it. The insurance may be lower, I'm not sure, since it's got a higher quality than a regular house as well. It'll probably even out, and you get a damn good house all the while lol
You make a reasonable point, but look at the pictures: 1) very thoroughly flashed window and door penetrations (also windows set back), 2) zip system taped for waterproof walls (presuming you have also waterproofed the nailing and no mistakes in the tape application) 3) the wood on top of the zip is to create an air space behind the siding in what we call a “rain screen” design that allows wind driven water to drain and evaporate without getting into the interior wall assembly. A rain screen also has the nice effect of avoiding premature paint failure due to vapor pressure from inside the house being transmitted under pressure to the back of the siding - it also goes into the ventilated gap and disipates without causing moisture damage. Experience shows it’s not even necessary to paint the furring strips that hold the siding, but I do anyway. If you have a house where there can be flooding, that’s a different scenario, of course.
Closed cell is immune to water. Open cell is vulnerable to water.
WTF mate. This video is from years ago? This was my first introduction to Steve...why u repost it as if it’s new?
What's wrong with reposting? They clearly state in the description that it's from 2013. I'm sure that mainly because of the repost it is shown to more people, including me. Isn't it a good thing that information is shared?
360p? i hope its a youtube issue. documenting a high quality passive house with a 1995 phone is pretty ruff. XD
xD
thought this video was from 2008 not 2019
Apparently this was filmed in 2013, but the quality looks like it was in 2003. Great stuff none the less.

I'm building a barndominium and my goal is 1.5-2.0 ach 50.
I didn't know that Standards are so low in the US that there are not even 100 passive houses.
There’s a lot more now this must be years old. There’s at least two dozen in Minnesota along and our weather is some of the most extreme in the US
@@J_Money1 There are more now, but still a very very small portion of the homes built in the US
Double stud? Very old technology
As opposed to? Just did another one recently......simple easy, economical relative to performance?? So what's the "NEW" technology that works better?
I didn't think spray foam was great for passive design due to embodied carbon vs blown in cellulose. That's a lot of emissions right there
Came here just to write that. Like yeah your house is "passive", but most of those materials are not particularly sustainable...
Steve made the point very well in this video, passive house is not necessarily about achieving perfection, which would make it cost prohibitive for most people. Spray foam (closed cell) is not much more carbon intensive than fiber glass or mineral wool. Only plain cellulose is truly sustainable AND cost effective, but it far under-performs spray foam inch for inch and spray foam also provides a valuable secondary moisture barrier. It's well worth the compromise in my opinion.
@@dlg5485 And now it is even better.....
Double 2X4 stud walls were started in the 80s, but they are more expensive to frame so main stream builders went to 2X6 walls and stuffed more insulation in the walls, rather than have the dead air space.
Charlie Uhhhhhh...2x6 and double 2x4 walls are basically light years apart. From an energy perspective, basic 2x6 walls are garbage compared to double 2x4s. Thermal bridging?
@@batmb1e Not only is there no thermal bridging, by having an inner 2x4 wall it gives the subs a place to run all the wiring and plumbing, plus in the case of the plumbing the pipes are insulated form the outside cold.
A guy in Alb. who built his house this way in the 80s once told me as long as he kept getting junk male he would have no problem heating his house all winter
Does anybody know the source of the windows?
the definition given for passiv haus is outdated . what he was describing was a passive 'solar' house . Orientation to collect heat from the sun is no longer considered a priority . A passive house doesn't need solar gain to be effective . i live in a 'almost passiv house ' which is becoming a 'thing ' with very little solar gain and yet the house performs at near passiv house standards .
Aside from that the materials in the house in the video are a soup of toxicity . the only thing saving the occupants from illness is the air to air heat exchanger . This is also not necessary if one uses all non off gassing and or toxic materials
Stuck built is really out of date for framing. Wasteful, slow and very old technology. All framing should be done a factory.
The architect notes ‘designing a passive house opens up design options for aesthetic purposes’.
Yet, he hasn’t even designed an aesthetically pleasing eave. The exterior is chock full of heavy, clunky pork chop eaves on all the gable ends.
Also, a cohesive architectural style is absent. Instead, he’s presented a mish-mash of lazy, poorly-scaled, tack-on type details.
Why do so many architects not understand the necessity of studyIng architectural precedent?
There are key design details to any given style... find out what they are utilize them to ensure a cohesive character.
Chad, I'm not a student of architecture but know what I like. If the home was designed for a specific client and this is the style they prefer, in my mind its a win. I'm sure there were a bunch of meetings where things were suggested, debated and inevitably its their home?? I get what your saying if you want a "craftsman" style house certain earmarks have to be adhered to. As an electrician I suggest things all the time to my clients that then get shot down. Some have come back to me later and said we should have listened, others just add lamps. lol
Oh no! The eave isn't aesthetically pleasing! Even though the house costs NOTHING to live in, THOSE FUXKING EAVES MAN! THE EAVES!!!
the amount of plastic used in that house... not a good way to build
You are so wrong about only 71 built!!!!!! I had my own built back in 1997 that was actually better than what you are video taping! I started build home starting in 1974 and learned a lot during the energy problems of the 80’s. The home I built had everything you talked about but it also had passive solar that helped heat the home in the winter and the overhang and the trees in the summers shaded the home. you guys have a lot to learn.
Eric, Could you share any newer video links for builds that have been upgraded?? I'm particularly interested in how an electrician (like me) can contribute to improving the quality.
@@Belg1970 Sorry I’m old school and don’t make videos, I just know what I built for myself from all the years I was in the building industry.
Eric Van Eck If you have no videos or no proof or public record of success then shut up! Steve is proven and he’s earned his respect!
@@WattsUpDev FU A$$ hole
Dumb A$$
Stick frame is already outdated, ICF is the way to go...
Ha Ha Ha........not EVEN close in New England in cost!!! and performance is about 35% of this home.........go for it
Sun capture is really old school now. Windows lose as much energy as they gain. This is a seriously out of date video
Solar heat gain coefficiency look it up
You should do a little more research......57% of the heating energy for this house comes in thru the windows, there are some losses, but the gains are far outweighing the losses!!! This house has no energy bills.....is that oputdated? Heat, cooling, hotwater, ventilation, for free?? Still outdated? Driving 2 cars on power generated from the house? Outdated?
Why not just build a rammed earth walls or ICF or AAC blocks or hemp or Earthship with car tires.
Why are you re-posting old content from 6 years ago? Ive also seen this years ago on other channels. Make new content, this is a real turn-off.
god this audio and video quality is terrible.
Stop building with sticks and paper!
