Customer Reviews
Incredibly Informative
If you are thinking about building a passive house, this is the podcast for you! I am planning on constructing cabins in East Texas, where the temperature is consistently over 100 degrees Fahrenheit right now! There is no time to waste! I am so thankful for these podcasts and the professionals who are interviewing and being interviewed! We can each help in our own little way to bring the temperature down on our planet.

Thank you and keep up the great work.
