A personal blog documenting my journey toward becoming a zero‑energy passive house owner—covering design decisions, energy modeling, costs, mistakes, and lessons learned.
After years of researching energy efficiency, climate resilience, and long‑term housing costs, I decided to pursue a zero‑energy passive house. This blog exists to share that process transparently—what works, what costs more, and what I’d do differently.
Passive House design flips traditional construction priorities. Instead of adding bigger mechanical systems, it reduces energy demand through insulation, airtightness, and intelligent orientation—allowing comfort with minimal energy use.
