Existing Resources – Passive House Retrofit Project, Brand New Year, Same Old House.

Welcome to the first post of the New Year!  This year I will be blogging about an Existing Resource project  and talk about what needs to be done to take a 1968 Rambler and convert it into a Passive House!  At this point the owner is just looking for ideas and costs, so the project is not slated to go into actual construction, but planning is the key component of any Passive House project, and when you are starting with an Existing Resource it is even more critical.  I’ll walk you through the steps as I plan out the project.  Feel free to ask questions, suggest solutions, or just play the “What if?” game.  I want as much interaction on this thread from everyone so that together we learn and explore the ins and outs of an Existing Resource Passive House Project.
