Private individual and website creator about alternative energy who discovered Passive House design as part of building the website.  Wanting to achieve that sort of standard in a future home we travelled to Aachen, Germany for the Passivhaus International conference a few years ago, visiting homes and public buildings as part of it.  We also check out the Energy Plus builds of Rolf Disch in Freiburg.

Having intended to build a passive house home on land we had but then having to move on, we want to build our long term home with these concepts.  On the way we aim to create part of a barn on the site into a temporary dwelling which will follow passive house standards.  Currently renting a new build home built to current code we know we have to have better energy management in any home we own.
