    David Coon - Green Party of New Brunswick

    David Coon has been a devotee and champion of the Passive House movement since its early beginnings—in Canada—with the "Ark for Prince Edward Island," which opened 50 years ago this Fall, and Harold Orr's Saskatchewan Conservation House, built the year after that. David is a four-time elected member of the Legislative Assembly, representing Fredericton-Lincoln, and the current (as of October 2026) leader of the Green Party of New Brunswick. In this episode, we talked about the particular geopolitical environment that led to those pioneering homes, the journey the movement has taken since, where and why we're falling short of what seemed a promising low-energy-demand future, and what David has observed in his decade-plus spent as a sitting member of the New Brunswick Legislature.

    Michael Ingui - Ingui Architecture

    Michael Ingui is an artist and architect, as well as the president and a partner at Ingui Architecture, and a co-founder of both the Passive House Accelerator and Source 2050. Michael started the Accelerator because he saw how important it was to have a place to share ideas within the industry and community. He started Source 2050 to help increase the availability of high-performance building supplies. In this episode, we talk about the next big hurdle that Passive House needs to get over (hint: it's marketing :), the critical importance of product availability if you don't want your contractor to use something other than what you specified, and the 3 things that will either let us scale Passive House the way we truly need to, or not.
