ALL ABOUT THE PASSIVE HOUSE

The eco-minded passive home is far from a new concept. Here’s how it got started and how you can learn more

hile the number of passivehome projects in the U.S. is on the rise, the passive home is not a new concept. Heck, it doesn’t even use any breakthrough technology. Experimentation with the first superinsulated homes began in North America in the 1970s. While the model lost momentum in the U.S. and Canada, it gained popularity in Europe after Bo Adamson of Sweden

AMERICAN DREAM REAL ESTATE SERVICES, INC.

and Wolfgang Feist of Germany maximized the concept for European climates. They designed a strict protocol for passive house design called the “Passivhaus standard” in 1988. They later founded the PassivhausInstitut in 1996, to promote and control the standards of Passive House building. The first U.S. passive house was built in 2003 in Urbana, Illinois, by Katrin Klingenberg, a German-born architect who had studied the protocol with Feist in Darmstadt, Germany. Klingenberg, in collaboration with the city of Urbana and construction manager Mike Kernagis, later built a series of affordable housing passive

houses. Their success led them to establish the Passive House Institute US (PHIUS). Finding a builder or consultant with experience in passive house design used to be difficult, but PHIUS now offers certificate programs for both builders and consultants, where experts teach the concepts of design and construction. To date, PHIUS has certified 500 consultants nationwide. To find a passive home consultant or builder, search the directories at passivehouse. us. Or to simply learn more about the concept, visit www.phaus.org to find local members or chapters in your area.

application was 725 in March, down from 743 a year earlier. Maybe the buyer wants a seller take-back because he cannot qualify for a loan of sufficient size to buy the property. Or, maybe, the buyer has poor credit. In either case the seller is taking on a lot of risk by financing a property sale that commercial lenders won’t touch, a real concern if you need the monthly payments and the borrower is not sending checks. Ask yourself: Do you really want to hire a lawyer to foreclose if payments stop, an expensive process that could take months if not longer? If, for some reason, you are willing to take back financing make sure that all loan papers must be in a form that is “satisfactory” to you. See an attorney for specifics before signing a sale agreement and check with a tax professional before accepting to any takeback deal.

GET TO KNOW THE PASSIVE HOUSE ‘Super-insulated’ passive homes offer homeowners increased energy savings and a quiet environment. Take a look at these eco-focused homes are on the rise.

ince 2004, the price of residential electricity has risen by nearly 37 percent, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. With homeowners ever more conscious of their monthly bills, it’s no surprise that interest in passive homes are of the rise. Passive or “net zero” homes don’t utilize any on-grid electricity, reducing heating and cooling energy 60 to 80 percent, says Michael Knezovich, director of communications at the Passive House Institute US in Chicago. As of January 1, 2012, the Passive House Institute U.S. had certified only 14 certified passive homes nationally. Today, they’ve increased this figure to 100 projects, with approximately another 100 in pipeline at various stages, including multifamily construction. While most passive homes are newly constructed, retrofit construction is becoming more common in the U.S. too, Knezovich says. Passive homes function on the basis of being air tight, using “superinsulation.” Thicker walls, high-performance windows (in cold climates they are triple-paned) and strategic use of sun and shading are standard features that allow these homes to be so energy efficient. If you step foot inside a passive house, you’ll probably notice the quietness. That’s because the walls of these structures are often 12 to 18 inches thick, which

July 11, 2014

helps insulate the home in addition to keeping out exterior noise. “When it’s really cold, you can stand next to a window and you don’t even notice a difference in temperature. And there’s no draft,” says Knezovich. While consumers may worry that a home sealed too tightly can lead to problems with moisture and mold, these issues are combatted with the use of an energy recovery ventilator, which takes the place of a conventional furnace and provides a constant supply of fresh air. The ventilator is a box that runs constantly and is designed intentionally to have a balanced intake and output to maintain a constant pressure inside the home. In a passive home, you’ll never hear the mechanical sound of a unit turning on or off, nor the blowing sound of an air conditioner. Energy recovery ventilators run constantly at a lower level that is much quieter than a forced air furnace. Surprisingly, passive homes don’t cost much more to build than a standard home. A commonly used estimate in the industry is that construction of a passive house costs 5 to 10 percent more than conventional building. One of the biggest drawbacks to living in a passive house, according to Nicholas Koch, a passive house consultant and founder of Equitable Green Group in Austin, Texas, is that your washer and dryer must be kept outdoors because

RE-Weekly.com

dryers suck the air out of your home. In Koch’s own passive house, the units are kept on a screened-in porch. “We’re building these buildings to last ideally a century or more,” says Dan Whitmore, a passive house consultant with Hammer & Hand, a home building and remodeling company that has around 35 passive home projects in Seattle and Portland, Oregon. Whitmore encourages customers to look at their monthly investments in a house as the sum of their mortgage and utilities. “We can generally deliver a super efficient building for the same monthly outlay,” he says. In Austin, Koch’s Equitable Green Group has plans to build a community of 16 passive homes called The Aviary on the city’s East side. The goal is to focus on low-energy living with features like rainwater collection, solar energy and sustainable farming, says Koch. Lately, builders have seen a lot of interest in multi-family homes and affordable housing, says Knezovich. “What we find is that once you have a couple of projects in an area, it naturally seems to accelerate very quickly after that,” he says. “It’s an exciting time within the efficiency building community because there’s a lot of interest and support and the expertise is just growing and growing,” Whitmore adds. 9
