Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 10.56 19.84 What's<space>fascinating<space>about<space>Vermont<space>is<space>that<space>it's<space>got<space>a<space>very<space>Democratic<space>legislature<space>overall,<space>but<space>there's<space>also<space>a<space>very<space>deep<space>Libertarian<space>Democratic<space>bent,<space>which<space>says,<space>"We<space>cannot<space>force<space>things<space>on<space>people<space>"because<space>that's<space>not<space>what<space>we<space>do".
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 31.12 8.00 And<space>every<space>time<space>they<space>appoint<space>someone<space>and<space>say,<space>"Look,<space>what<space>we'd<space>really<space>like<space>to<space>do<space>"is<space>to<space>say<space>you<space>cannot<space>sell<space>a<space>house<space>"unless<space>you<space>have<space>an<space>energy<space>audit".
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 39.76 10.48 And<space>I<space>talked<space>to<space>the<space>people<space>in<space>those<space>groups<space>who<space>are<space>representing<space>the<space>bank<space>and<space>the<space>real<space>estate<space>side<space>of<space>things.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 50.24 1.52 And<space>they<space>say,<space>"You<space>can't<space>do<space>that.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 51.76 1.76 "It'll<space>ruin<space>the<space>sale".
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 53.76 9.28 And<space>my<space>response<space>was,<space>"When<space>I<space>sell<space>a<space>house,"<space>and<space>I've<space>sold<space>two<space>houses,<space>I've<space>lived<space>in<space>houses<space>and<space>sold<space>them,<space>"I<space>just<space>made<space>a<space>number<space>up<space>what<space>I<space>was<space>asking<space>for".
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 63.12 3.20 It's<space>not<space>like<space>there<space>was<space>a<space>calculation<space>I<space>went<space>through.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 66.32 4.80 I've<space>lived<space>in<space>it<space>for<space>seven<space>years,<space>I'm<space>expecting<space>this<space>return,<space>and<space>if<space>I<space>don't<space>get<space>this,<space>I'm<space>an<space>unhappy<space>puppy.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 71.20 1.52 I<space>just<space>make<space>up<space>a<space>number.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 72.72 0.16 Right.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 72.88 14.08 So<space>add<space>$500<space>to<space>that<space>number,<space>and<space>you've<space>got<space>a<space>professional<space>BPI<space>for<space>$400,<space>whatever<space>it<space>is,<space>a<space>professional<space>Building<space>Performance<space>Institute<space>Professional<space>giving<space>you<space>the<space>lowdown<space>on<space>your<space>house<space>before<space>you<space>sell<space>it.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 86.96 4.72 And<space>that<space>gives<space>the<space>buyer<space>something<space>to<space>bargain<space>with,<space>and<space>it<space>gives<space>the<space>seller<space>something<space>to<space>bargain<space>with.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 91.68 14.96 The<space>seller<space>can<space>say,<space>"Look,<space>I<space>know<space>"that<space>this<space>is<space>wrong<space>with<space>this<space>house,<space>"and<space>I'll<space>fix<space>these<space>things<space>before<space>I<space>sell<space>it<space>to<space>you<space>"because<space>I<space>know<space>I<space>can<space>do<space>it<space>well<space>and<space>cheaply,"<space>or<space>whatever,<space>or<space>I'll<space>take<space>my<space>price<space>down<space>by<space>what<space>the<space>difference<space>is,<space>but<space>I'm<space>making<space>the<space>price<space>up<space>anyway.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 106.64 18.00 So<space>if<space>you're<space>making<space>the<space>price<space>up<space>and<space>you<space>say,<space>"I<space>bought<space>this<space>house<space>for<space>$200,000<space>"and<space>I<space>wanna<space>sell<space>it<space>for<space>$260,000,"<space>and<space>then<space>you<space>get<space>the<space>audit,<space>and<space>you<space>know<space>that<space>it<space>needs<space>$30,000<space>worth<space>of<space>work<space>to<space>really<space>be<space>energy<space>efficient<space>in<space>a<space>way<space>that<space>someone<space>would<space>be<space>happy<space>with<space>it,<space>then<space>you<space>can<space>just<space>say,<space>"Okay,<space>I'm<space>asking<space>290".
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 124.96 4.32 Right,<space>it's<space>that<space>we're<space>making<space>these<space>numbers<space>up,<space>it's<space>complete<space>fiction.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 129.68 3.28 And<space>the<space>banker<space>was<space>like,<space>"People<space>still<space>not<space>go<space>for<space>it".
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 133.20 9.28 He<space>happens<space>to<space>be<space>a<space>neighbor<space>of<space>mine,<space>very<space>nice<space>guy,<space>David<space>Adams<space>works<space>at<space>the<space>Vermont<space>Federal<space>Housing<space>Agency.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 143.44 10.56 And<space>the<space>real<space>estate<space>people<space>don't<space>want<space>it<space>for<space>reasons<space>that<space>I<space>can't<space>possibly<space>fathom,<space>because<space>it<space>only<space>gives<space>them<space>something<space>to<space>sell<space>about<space>the<space>house.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 154.24 7.36 So<space>what<space>we're<space>gonna<space>talk<space>about<space>from<space>now<space>on<space>is<space>instead<space>of<space>why<space>the<space>real<space>estate<space>people<space>don't<space>want<space>it,<space>what<space>all<space>the<space>benefits<space>are.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 161.76 9.68 So<space>if<space>we<space>talk<space>about<space>how<space>we<space>need<space>to<space>know<space>what<space>our<space>housing<space>stock<space>is<space>like,<space>and<space>we<space>need<space>to<space>make<space>sure<space>our<space>homes<space>are<space>safe<space>and-<space>-<space>Durable.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 171.52 12.00 And<space>durable,<space>and<space>we're<space>gonna,<space>and<space>you<space>know,<space>and<space>then<space>we<space>make<space>it<space>a<space>baseline<space>for<space>people<space>to<space>say<space>when<space>they're<space>buying<space>a<space>house,<space>"Well,<space>I<space>wanna<space>know<space>what's<space>the<space>building<space>performance<space>like"?
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 183.52 4.32 People<space>should<space>know<space>what<space>building<space>performance<space>is,<space>and<space>people<space>don't<space>know<space>what<space>building<space>performance<space>is.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 187.84 31.04 Yeah,<space>and<space>something<space>that<space>the<space>Vermont<space>Green<space>House<space>Alliance,<space>which<space>is<space>a<space>trade<space>group<space>that's<space>also<space>got<space>members<space>from<space>all<space>different<space>branches<space>is<space>working<space>on<space>is<space>trying<space>to<space>push<space>from<space>the<space>appraisal<space>side<space>to<space>say,<space>"Look,<space>if<space>you<space>have<space>a<space>house<space>"that's<space>really<space>energy<space>efficient,<space>"there's<space>a<space>provision<space>in<space>the<space>appraisal<space>rules<space>that<space>say,<space>"if<space>it's<space>really<space>super<space>efficient,<space>"then<space>it's<space>not<space>like<space>any<space>house<space>on<space>the<space>market,<space>"and<space>you<space>can<space>call<space>it<space>a<space>special<space>case".
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 219.04 5.68 If<space>you<space>can<space>label<space>your<space>house<space>a<space>special<space>case,<space>then<space>they<space>have<space>to<space>bring<space>in<space>an<space>expert<space>in<space>that<space>case.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 224.80 2.88 For<space>instance,<space>you<space>have<space>a<space>horse<space>farm<space>that<space>you're<space>selling.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 227.84 5.68 You<space>can't<space>just<space>get<space>Joe,<space>nice<space>guy<space>over<space>here,<space>appraiser<space>who's<space>never<space>appraised<space>a<space>horse<space>farm<space>before.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 233.60 4.64 You<space>have<space>a<space>right<space>as<space>a<space>person<space>who's<space>selling<space>that<space>to<space>go<space>to<space>the<space>bank<space>and<space>say,<space>"I'm<space>selling<space>a<space>horse<space>farm.

Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 241.68 2.64 And<space>they<space>get<space>someone<space>who's<space>had<space>that<space>experience.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 244.64 9.12 Well,<space>if<space>you<space>have<space>a<space>house<space>that<space>uses<space>1/10<space>of<space>the<space>energy<space>that<space>normal<space>house<space>uses,<space>you<space>have<space>a<space>special<space>case,<space>and<space>you<space>can<space>argue<space>that<space>to<space>the<space>bank<space>and<space>say,<space>"Look,<space>that<space>was<space>real<space>estate<space>agent.

Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 258.16 1.04 And<space>it<space>will<space>come<space>around.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 259.20 9.68 There<space>are<space>new<space>rules<space>coming<space>up<space>in<space>the<space>appraisals,<space>and<space>I<space>might<space>touch<space>on<space>that<space>later<space>if<space>we<space>get<space>back<space>to<space>it,<space>but<space>why<space>don't<space>I<space>turn<space>it<space>over<space>to-<space>-<space>All<space>right,<space>I<space>think<space>we<space>might<space>as<space>well<space>get<space>started.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 268.88 1.60 We<space>may<space>get<space>some<space>more<space>people.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 271.04 5.68 I<space>don't<space>know<space>if<space>we<space>have<space>to<space>introduce<space>Chris<space>because<space>he's<space>got<space>his<space>credentials<space>up<space>there,<space>which<space>is<space>nice<space>'cause<space>if<space>they<space>can<space>memorize<space>anything.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 277.04 7.36 But<space>the<space>Jericho<space>Energy<space>Task<space>Force<space>meets<space>once<space>a<space>month,<space>generally,<space>on<space>the<space>second<space>Thursday<space>of<space>the<space>month.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 284.48 3.44 But<space>just<space>to<space>confuse<space>people,<space>this<space>month,<space>we're<space>doing<space>the<space>second<space>Tuesday.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 288.64 5.44 We're<space>a<space>task<space>force,<space>which<space>means<space>that<space>people<space>can<space>come<space>or<space>not<space>come,<space>whatever<space>they<space>want.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 294.40 7.20 We<space>work<space>on<space>a<space>whole<space>slew<space>of<space>things,<space>but<space>one<space>of<space>the<space>things<space>we'd<space>like<space>to<space>do<space>is<space>bring<space>some<space>public<space>presentations<space>to<space>educate<space>people.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 302.24 2.08 We've<space>also<space>done<space>buttoned-up<space>workshops.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 304.32 4.40 We've<space>got<space>the<space>Home<space>Energy<space>Makeover<space>trailer<space>to<space>the<space>Underhill<space>Harvest<space>Market.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 308.96 2.16 And<space>today,<space>we<space>bring<space>you,<space>Chris<space>West.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 311.20 8.08 If<space>anyone<space>has<space>any<space>questions<space>about<space>the<space>task<space>force,<space>feel<space>free<space>to<space>contact<space>me<space>afterwards<space>if<space>I'm<space>not<space>in<space>a<space>run<space>eating<space>stupor.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 319.84 2.72 And<space>I'll<space>leave<space>my<space>stupor<space>'til<space>afterwards.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 322.80 3.12 So<space>my<space>name<space>is<space>Chris<space>West.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 326.00 2.72 I<space>am<space>a<space>Passive<space>House<space>Consultant.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 329.84 12.32 I<space>have<space>a<space>bachelor's<space>degree<space>in<space>mechanical<space>engineering<space>that<space>I<space>got<space>living<space>in<space>the<space>Netherlands,<space>and<space>I<space>worked<space>as<space>a<space>mechanical<space>engineer<space>at<space>the<space>bachelor's<space>level<space>in<space>the<space>Netherlands<space>teaching<space>and<space>also<space>doing<space>energy<space>audits<space>on<space>schools.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 342.56 21.68 And<space>I'm<space>going<space>to<space>give<space>you,<space>tonight,<space>a<space>basis,<space>a<space>basic<space>understanding<space>of<space>what<space>passive<space>house<space>is,<space>because<space>a<space>lot<space>of<space>people<space>have<space>heard<space>the<space>name,<space>it's<space>really,<space>if<space>you're<space>interested<space>at<space>all,<space>energy<space>efficiency,<space>it<space>is<space>the<space>most<space>energy<space>efficient<space>building<space>standard<space>in<space>the<space>world,<space>and<space>it's<space>all<space>based<space>on<space>building<space>science.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 364.24 7.20 In<space>the<space>last<space>15<space>years,<space>we've<space>had<space>huge<space>advances<space>in<space>building<space>science<space>and<space>building<space>energy<space>science.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 371.60 12.48 And<space>we<space>can,<space>using<space>the<space>application<space>of<space>modern<space>building<space>science,<space>we<space>can<space>build<space>houses<space>that<space>use<space>almost<space>no<space>energy<space>to<space>heat<space>and<space>cool.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 384.80 8.64 I<space>like<space>this<space>slide,<space>like<space>starting<space>off<space>with<space>it<space>because<space>people<space>usually<space>don't<space>have<space>a<space>good<space>understanding<space>of<space>what<space>the<space>energy<space>mix<space>is<space>in<space>America.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 393.44 6.40 This<space>is<space>from<space>Architecture<space>2030,<space>which<space>is<space>a<space>group<space>that's<space>pushing<space>for<space>energy<space>efficiency<space>in<space>buildings.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 400.00 4.88 And<space>what<space>we<space>see<space>in<space>this<space>graph<space>is<space>US<space>energy<space>consumption<space>by<space>sector.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 405.04 4.72 And<space>what's<space>important<space>about<space>this<space>is<space>this<space>orange<space>slice<space>right<space>here.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 409.92 11.36 The<space>two<space>slices<space>together<space>give<space>you<space>the<space>amount<space>of<space>energy<space>that<space>we've<space>put<space>into<space>our<space>buildings<space>together,<space>and<space>it's<space>about<space>49%<space>of<space>the<space>energy<space>that<space>we<space>use<space>goes<space>into<space>our<space>buildings.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 421.52 7.04 The<space>smaller<space>slice,<space>this<space>5.5%<space>is<space>the<space>energy<space>we<space>put<space>into<space>actually<space>building<space>our<space>buildings.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 428.72 5.44 And<space>the<space>43.5%<space>is<space>the<space>energy<space>we<space>used<space>to<space>sustain<space>them<space>after<space>they're<space>built.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 434.32 10.56 So<space>when<space>you<space>think<space>about<space>where<space>we're<space>putting<space>our<space>efficiency,<space>things<space>like<space>LEED<space>in<space>the<space>National<space>Green<space>Building<space>Standard<space>are<space>very<space>into<space>sourcing<space>locally<space>and<space>doing<space>all<space>of<space>that.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 444.88 18.24 But<space>if<space>you<space>look<space>at<space>the<space>proportion<space>that<space>that<space>actually<space>saves,<space>if<space>you're<space>going<space>to<space>look<space>for<space>savings<space>in<space>energy,<space>that<space>is<space>only<space>4.5%<space>of<space>all<space>the<space>energy<space>we<space>used<space>while<space>the<space>building<space>operations,<space>heating,<space>cooling,<space>and<space>other<space>things<space>like<space>that<space>is<space>43.5%.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 463.20 7.84 So<space>if<space>we<space>can<space>cut<space>down<space>on<space>the<space>energy<space>that<space>our<space>buildings<space>use,<space>we<space>have<space>a<space>much<space>bigger<space>influence<space>on<space>overall<space>energy<space>use.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 471.76 16.56 The<space>Vermont<space>State<space>Comprehensive<space>Energy<space>Plan,<space>which<space>the<space>Vermont<space>state<space>legislature<space>passed<space>a<space>number<space>of<space>years<space>ago<space>says<space>that<space>by<space>2030,<space>100%<space>of<space>the<space>new<space>homes<space>that<space>are<space>built<space>somewhere<space>between<space>1,000<space>and<space>3,000,<space>depending<space>on<space>the<space>year<space>should<space>be<space>net<space>zero<space>houses.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 488.80 9.60 30%<space>of<space>all<space>new<space>homes<space>built<space>by<space>2020<space>need<space>to<space>be<space>net<space>zero<space>to<space>fulfill<space>the<space>requirements<space>of<space>the<space>Comprehensive<space>Energy<space>Plan.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 499.12 7.28 And<space>a<space>lot<space>of<space>people<space>have,<space>and<space>I<space>run<space>into<space>this<space>every<space>day<space>in<space>my<space>normal<space>business,<space>have<space>ideas<space>about<space>what<space>net<space>zero<space>is,<space>okay?
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 506.56 1.84 I'm<space>gonna<space>tell<space>you<space>what<space>net<space>zero<space>is.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 508.40 9.68 Net<space>zero<space>means<space>that<space>your<space>house<space>uses<space>a<space>certain<space>amount<space>of<space>energy,<space>and<space>you<space>have<space>a<space>certain<space>amount<space>of<space>renewable<space>energies<space>that<space>covers<space>the<space>amount<space>of<space>energy<space>your<space>house<space>uses.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 518.24 11.12 That<space>means<space>that<space>you<space>can<space>have<space>a<space>huge,<space>wasteful,<space>horrible<space>house<space>and<space>have<space>a<space>field<space>of<space>solar<space>panels,<space>and<space>you<space>have<space>a<space>net<space>zero<space>house.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 529.76 4.00 That's<space>the<space>truth<space>because<space>it's<space>all<space>about<space>balancing<space>it<space>out.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 534.72 13.84 However,<space>the<space>other<space>path<space>is<space>to<space>make<space>a<space>super<space>energy<space>efficient<space>house,<space>put<space>a<space>lot<space>of<space>money<space>into<space>building<space>a<space>house<space>that's<space>really<space>energy<space>efficient<space>and<space>have<space>a<space>couple<space>of<space>panels<space>to<space>get<space>to<space>your<space>net<space>zero.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 548.72 5.60 And<space>this<space>is<space>the<space>path<space>that<space>we're<space>working<space>on,<space>PH<space>is<space>just<space>my<space>abbreviation<space>for<space>passive<space>house.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 555.12 10.96 This<space>is<space>something<space>I<space>learned<space>when<space>I<space>was<space>in<space>the<space>Netherlands,<space>it's<space>called<space>the<space>energy<space>triangle,<space>and<space>it's<space>based<space>on<space>the<space>recycling<space>triangle,<space>which<space>is<space>reuse,<space>reduce,<space>reuse,<space>recycle.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 566.08 1.28 You<space>reduce<space>first,<space>right?
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 567.44 3.60 Stop<space>using<space>stuff,<space>and<space>then<space>reuse<space>what<space>you<space>can<space>before<space>you<space>recycle.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 571.04 5.68 And<space>the<space>last<space>of<space>it,<space>you<space>put<space>it<space>back<space>into<space>the<space>system,<space>and<space>they<space>churn<space>it<space>around,<space>and<space>then<space>make<space>it<space>into<space>something<space>we<space>can<space>use<space>again.

Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 583.68 5.68 So<space>the<space>energy<space>triangle<space>says,<space>the<space>first<space>thing<space>we<space>do<space>is<space>we<space>reduce<space>the<space>load<space>that<space>we<space>have.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 589.60 8.48 And<space>the<space>second<space>thing<space>we<space>do<space>is<space>we<space>use<space>renewables<space>to<space>take<space>care<space>of<space>as<space>much<space>of<space>whatever<space>the<space>first<space>one<space>couldn't<space>get<space>rid<space>of.

Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 735.52 2.88 So<space>I<space>went<space>there<space>and<space>I<space>was<space>like,<space>"Well,<space>passive<space>house".
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 738.40 3.44 And<space>people<space>were<space>like,<space>"Yeah,<space>I've<space>heard<space>of<space>passive<space>house,<space>"a<space>little<space>bit<space>of<space>this".
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 742.08 12.72 Two<space>years<space>ago,<space>it<space>was<space>like,<space>okay,<space>we've<space>got<space>a<space>table,<space>we<space>got<space>the<space>Passive<space>House<space>Alliance,<space>which<space>is<space>a<space>group<space>of<space>Passive<space>House<space>Consultants<space>and<space>other<space>people<space>interested<space>in<space>passive<space>house,<space>and<space>every<space>now<space>and<space>then,<space>in<space>one<space>of<space>the<space>sessions,<space>you'd<space>hear<space>someone<space>say<space>passive<space>house.

Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 768.24 10.72 There's<space>even<space>a<space>group<space>who<space>decided<space>to<space>call<space>their<space>thing,<space>an<space>active<space>house,<space>which<space>is<space>beautiful,<space>right<space>on,<space>because<space>you're<space>pushing<space>against<space>passive<space>house,<space>wonderful.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 779.52 10.32 So<space>when<space>we're<space>talking<space>about<space>building<space>energy<space>standards<space>in<space>America<space>and<space>in<space>Vermont,<space>we<space>really<space>have<space>to<space>just<space>know<space>what<space>the<space>playing<space>field<space>is<space>before<space>we<space>can<space>understand<space>where<space>passive<space>house<space>fits<space>into<space>it.

Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 835.36 5.84 And<space>we<space>now,<space>have<space>what's<space>called<space>the<space>RBES,<space>and<space>that's<space>the<space>Residential<space>Building<space>Energy<space>Standard.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 841.36 8.96 It's<space>tied<space>to<space>something<space>called<space>the<space>International<space>Energy<space>Commission<space>Code,<space>which<space>is<space>the<space>minimum<space>that<space>you<space>can<space>build<space>to.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 850.40 2.64 And<space>that's<space>an<space>R,<space>I'm<space>gonna<space>be<space>using<space>R-values.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 853.04 1.84 You<space>all<space>know<space>what<space>an<space>R-value<space>is?
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 855.04 3.36 R-value<space>is<space>the<space>resistance<space>to<space>heat<space>passing<space>through<space>a<space>wall.

Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 865.60 1.28 So<space>that's<space>the<space>standard.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 866.96 6.56 A<space>lot<space>of<space>people<space>have<space>just<space>a<space>standard<space>two-by-four<space>wall<space>with<space>some<space>fiberglass<space>in<space>the<space>middle,<space>and<space>that's<space>an<space>R-11.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 873.84 9.36 So<space>the<space>RBES<space>says<space>an<space>R-20<space>wall,<space>R-40<space>in<space>the<space>roof,<space>two<space>inches<space>of<space>foam<space>under<space>the<space>slab<space>in<space>that,<space>and<space>four<space>air<space>changes<space>per<space>hour.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 883.28 2.40 I'll<space>explain<space>that<space>in<space>a<space>minute<space>what<space>that<space>means.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 886.40 11.28 So<space>that's<space>what<space>they<space>have<space>to<space>build<space>to,<space>even<space>though,<space>until<space>recently,<space>it<space>was<space>not<space>required<space>that<space>the<space>certificate<space>saying<space>that<space>you<space>built<space>that<space>was<space>in<space>anyway,<space>filed<space>anywhere,<space>but<space>we've<space>been<space>working<space>on<space>that.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 897.68 2.40 That<space>was<space>passed<space>in<space>the<space>last<space>legislative<space>session.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 900.48 3.92 The<space>next<space>step<space>down<space>is<space>Energy<space>Star.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 904.40 8.56 So<space>if<space>you<space>build<space>an<space>RBES<space>house,<space>2,000-square-foot<space>house,<space>you're<space>probably<space>spending<space>$3,500<space>a<space>year<space>to<space>heat<space>that<space>house,<space>pretty<space>standard.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 913.20 8.64 And<space>if<space>you<space>built<space>it<space>with<space>how<space>we<space>were<space>building<space>before<space>the<space>RBES,<space>you're<space>probably<space>spending<space>4,000<space>$4,500<space>a<space>year<space>to<space>heat<space>that<space>house.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 922.16 3.52 Energy<space>Star<space>is<space>a<space>Department<space>of<space>Energy<space>program.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 925.76 3.84 It<space>makes<space>a<space>house<space>that's<space>30%<space>more<space>efficient<space>than<space>code.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 930.08 5.44 And<space>that<space>means<space>slightly<space>better<space>walls,<space>slightly<space>better<space>roof.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 935.60 7.12 Actually,<space>the<space>air<space>changes<space>five<space>air<space>changes<space>per<space>hour<space>instead<space>of<space>four,<space>which<space>is<space>kind<space>of<space>odd,<space>but<space>it<space>is<space>30%<space>more<space>efficient.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 942.72 6.80 You<space>also<space>have<space>to<space>buy<space>all<space>Energy<space>Star<space>appliances<space>inside,<space>all<space>CFLs,<space>compact<space>fluorescent<space>light<space>lamps.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 949.84 11.52 Then<space>we<space>have<space>the<space>Building<space>America,<space>which<space>is<space>a<space>program<space>that<space>the<space>Department<space>of<space>Energy<space>uses<space>to<space>showcase<space>new<space>building<space>energy<space>standards<space>that<space>will<space>then<space>be<space>rolled<space>into<space>the<space>next<space>version<space>of<space>Energy<space>Star.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 961.36 10.32 So<space>it's<space>kinda<space>like,<space>"Okay,<space>we're<space>gonna<space>do<space>"whatever<space>we<space>think<space>is<space>the<space>next<space>thing,<space>"and<space>in<space>two<space>years,<space>we'll<space>just<space>make<space>Energy<space>Star<space>4.0,<space>"and<space>that'll<space>have<space>some<space>of<space>the<space>stuff<space>"we<space>did<space>in<space>Building<space>America".
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 972.16 1.84 And<space>then<space>we<space>have<space>passive<space>house.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 974.16 12.24 So<space>building<space>ventilators,<space>15%<space>more<space>efficient<space>than<space>that,<space>but<space>passive<space>house<space>is<space>90%<space>more<space>efficient<space>than<space>the<space>RBES,<space>and<space>than<space>your<space>Vermont<space>Energy<space>Code,<space>and<space>costs<space>approximately<space>15%<space>more<space>to<space>make.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 986.96 2.88 I'm<space>gonna<space>be<space>showing<space>a<space>number<space>of<space>graphs<space>during<space>this<space>presentation.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 989.92 6.40 All<space>of<space>these<space>graphs<space>are<space>based<space>on<space>actual<space>data<space>from<space>Efficiency<space>Vermont.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 997.04 1.92 That's<space>the<space>beauty<space>of<space>Efficiency<space>Vermont.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 998.96 2.24 Efficiency<space>Vermont<space>is<space>an<space>amazing<space>resource.

Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1004.64 6.32 We<space>have<space>actual<space>real-time<space>data<space>on<space>a<space>hundred<space>houses<space>in<space>Vermont,<space>something<space>like<space>that<space>with<space>monitoring<space>systems.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1011.04 15.04 So<space>we<space>can<space>say<space>with<space>certainty<space>that<space>if<space>we're<space>gonna<space>look<space>at<space>a<space>Vermont<space>baseline,<space>which<space>is<space>that<space>house<space>that<space>they<space>were<space>building<space>before<space>they<space>adopted<space>the<space>federally<space>required<space>RBES,<space>that<space>it<space>was<space>using<space>this<space>much<space>heating.

Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1056.08 4.24 But<space>you<space>can<space>see<space>here,<space>I've<space>got<space>RBES,<space>Vermont<space>Energy<space>Code.

Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1070.08 5.68 And<space>what<space>you<space>notice<space>with<space>all<space>of<space>these<space>is<space>what's<space>being<space>reduced<space>in<space>general<space>is<space>that<space>red<space>bit.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1075.84 1.92 We're<space>cutting<space>down<space>on<space>the<space>heating<space>load.

Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1093.52 2.32 And<space>that's<space>how<space>we<space>can<space>get<space>that<space>water<space>heating<space>demand<space>down.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1095.84 5.04 People<space>are<space>still<space>using<space>the<space>same<space>amount<space>of<space>water,<space>but<space>it's<space>the<space>amount<space>of<space>energy<space>you<space>have<space>to<space>put<space>in<space>to<space>get<space>that<space>water.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1101.04 13.12 So<space>how<space>does<space>passive<space>house<space>get<space>from<space>this<space>RBES,<space>right,<space>this,<space>what<space>I<space>considered<space>to<space>be<space>a<space>horrible,<space>wasteful<space>thing,<space>but<space>is<space>the<space>minimum<space>energy<space>standard<space>you<space>have<space>to<space>use<space>in<space>the<space>state?
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1114.64 3.84 Well,<space>let's<space>talk<space>about<space>the<space>history<space>of<space>houses<space>first,<space>just<space>a<space>second.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1118.80 4.48 In<space>the<space>19th<space>century<space>and<space>before<space>the<space>19th<space>century,<space>we<space>built<space>houses<space>to<space>keep<space>the<space>weather<space>out.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1123.36 1.20 That<space>was<space>pretty<space>much<space>it.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1124.64 6.96 You<space>wanted<space>the<space>rain<space>outside,<space>you<space>didn't<space>want<space>the<space>rain<space>inside,<space>so<space>they<space>built<space>houses<space>that<space>kept<space>the<space>weather<space>out<space>for<space>the<space>most<space>part,<space>right?
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1131.60 12.48 'Cause<space>you<space>had<space>these<space>big<space>gaps<space>that<space>sometimes<space>rain<space>got<space>in,<space>sometimes<space>snow<space>got<space>in,<space>but<space>in<space>general,<space>the<space>weather<space>was<space>outside,<space>and<space>you<space>built<space>a<space>big<space>fireplace<space>in<space>the<space>middle<space>of<space>the<space>house,<space>and<space>you<space>stoke<space>that<space>with<space>lots<space>and<space>lots<space>of<space>wood.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1144.32 7.20 And<space>even<space>with<space>that,<space>you<space>still<space>had<space>your<space>outside<space>clothes<space>on<space>inside<space>to<space>stay<space>warm<space>enough<space>and<space>be<space>comfortable.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1152.48 2.40 Then<space>came<space>along<space>the<space>20th<space>century.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1154.96 2.08 And<space>what<space>did<space>the<space>20th<space>century<space>bring<space>us?
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1157.04 9.68 Well,<space>it<space>brought<space>us<space>a<space>lot<space>of<space>machines,<space>and<space>it<space>brought<space>us<space>cheap<space>oil,<space>which<space>is<space>basically<space>what<space>we've<space>been<space>running<space>on<space>as<space>a<space>country<space>for<space>a<space>hundred<space>plus<space>years.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1166.96 13.52 So<space>we<space>have<space>all<space>these<space>new<space>machines,<space>these<space>boilers,<space>these<space>hydronic<space>systems,<space>forced<space>hot<space>air,<space>that<space>are<space>not<space>efficient<space>because<space>they<space>don't<space>have<space>to<space>be<space>'cause<space>fuel<space>oil<space>was<space>15<space>cents<space>a<space>gallon,<space>20<space>cents<space>a<space>gallon,<space>and<space>we<space>can<space>waste<space>it,<space>and<space>who<space>cares.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1180.72 7.68 There<space>was<space>no<space>concept<space>of<space>putting<space>out<space>too<space>much<space>CO2,<space>or<space>CO,<space>or<space>any<space>of<space>the<space>other<space>pollutants.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1188.72 11.76 And<space>I<space>don't<space>focus<space>on<space>global<space>warming<space>in<space>this<space>presentation<space>because<space>although<space>I<space>personally<space>think<space>it's<space>very<space>important<space>to<space>cut<space>down<space>on<space>our<space>emissions<space>of<space>these<space>gases,<space>it's<space>not<space>that<space>important<space>to<space>the<space>story.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1201.92 3.52 So<space>in<space>the<space>20th<space>century,<space>we<space>didn't<space>fix<space>the<space>shell.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1205.44 9.12 We<space>didn't<space>add<space>insulation<space>to<space>any<space>great<space>effect<space>until<space>the<space>1970s<space>and<space>'80s,<space>which<space>is<space>not<space>that<space>long<space>ago,<space>speaking<space>just<space>historically.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1214.96 9.84 And<space>we<space>just<space>have<space>these<space>honking<space>machines<space>that<space>they're<space>oversized<space>because<space>the<space>plumber<space>doesn't<space>wanna<space>get<space>called<space>back,<space>that<space>HVAC<space>person<space>doesn't<space>wanna<space>get<space>called<space>back<space>and<space>say,<space>"Oh,<space>my<space>house<space>is<space>cold".
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1224.80 3.44 So<space>they<space>make<space>it<space>150%<space>more<space>powerful<space>than<space>it<space>has<space>to<space>be.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1228.32 2.16 So<space>you're<space>just<space>burning<space>a<space>lot<space>more,<space>but<space>who<space>cares?
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1230.56 1.04 It's<space>really<space>cheap.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1231.84 1.68 Now,<space>we're<space>in<space>the<space>21st<space>century.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1233.52 5.44 In<space>the<space>21st<space>century,<space>they've<space>really<space>gotten<space>into<space>the<space>science<space>of<space>how<space>buildings<space>work.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1239.28 13.52 And<space>I'm<space>about<space>to<space>give<space>you<space>the<space>story<space>of<space>what<space>that<space>is<space>'cause<space>this<space>is<space>this<space>one<space>person<space>with<space>really<space>thick<space>walls,<space>capturing<space>solar<space>heat<space>gains<space>and<space>using<space>a<space>couple<space>of<space>small,<space>but<space>very<space>efficient<space>mechanical<space>systems.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1254.16 16.48 A<space>lot<space>of<space>these<space>standards<space>that<space>you<space>hear<space>about,<space>LEED<space>in<space>the<space>National<space>Green<space>Building<space>Standard,<space>they're<space>really<space>not<space>focused<space>on<space>energy,<space>LEED<space>is<space>about<space>15%<space>interested<space>in<space>energy,<space>but<space>more<space>importantly,<space>they're<space>pages,<space>and<space>pages,<space>and<space>pages,<space>and<space>pages<space>of<space>these<space>checklists.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1270.96 2.32 Very<space>complex,<space>really<space>hard<space>to<space>get<space>through.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1273.44 1.68 Passive<space>house<space>is<space>simple.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1275.28 3.04 There<space>are<space>four<space>things<space>you<space>have<space>to<space>hit<space>on<space>passive<space>house.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1278.48 2.16 You<space>have<space>a<space>maximum<space>heating<space>load.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1280.88 4.32 You<space>have<space>a<space>maximum<space>cooling<space>load,<space>like<space>I<space>said<space>in<space>Vermont,<space>is<space>not<space>such<space>a<space>big<space>deal.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1285.28 2.56 You<space>have<space>a<space>maximum<space>total<space>energy<space>demand.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1287.84 19.20 And<space>that<space>source<space>means<space>that<space>the<space>energy<space>they<space>have<space>to<space>put<space>in<space>at<space>the<space>fuel<space>plant,<space>the<space>coal<space>plant<space>that<space>sends<space>you<space>that<space>fuel,<space>that<space>electricity<space>or<space>in<space>Saudi<space>Arabia,<space>what<space>energy<space>it<space>takes<space>to<space>pump<space>that<space>out,<space>ship<space>it<space>here,<space>and<space>put<space>it<space>in,<space>so<space>the<space>source<space>energy<space>that's<space>used,<space>and<space>airtightness.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1308.00 8.88 In<space>the<space>passive<space>house,<space>we<space>start<space>by<space>making<space>the<space>envelope<space>really,<space>really<space>good<space>as<space>far<space>as<space>a<space>thermal<space>transmittance.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1316.88 4.00 Okay,<space>there<space>are<space>three<space>ways<space>that<space>a<space>house<space>loses<space>energy.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1321.28 2.08 It<space>loses<space>it<space>through<space>conductance.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1323.44 5.84 Conductance<space>is<space>the<space>heat<space>that<space>goes<space>through<space>a<space>material<space>and<space>out<space>into<space>the<space>cold<space>heat.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1329.28 1.60 Now,<space>I'm<space>gonna<space>ask<space>the<space>question.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1330.96 1.36 Does<space>heat<space>rise?
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1332.40 2.64 No.<space>-<space>No.<space>-<space>Hot<space>air.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1335.36 1.28 Hot<space>air<space>rises.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1336.72 1.76 Heat<space>goes<space>from<space>hot<space>to<space>cold.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1338.56 4.40 If<space>you're<space>in<space>a<space>warm<space>room,<space>and<space>it's<space>colder<space>below<space>you,<space>the<space>heat<space>is<space>going<space>down.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1343.04 3.44 Only<space>hot<space>air<space>rises,<space>right?
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1347.12 6.16 So<space>when<space>we're<space>dealing<space>about<space>with<space>trying<space>to<space>cut<space>down<space>on<space>the<space>conductive<space>losses,<space>we<space>make<space>very<space>thick<space>walls.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1353.28 2.00 There<space>are<space>two<space>other<space>losses.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1355.44 6.80 One<space>is<space>a<space>ventilation<space>loss,<space>which<space>is<space>the<space>air<space>that<space>you<space>purposely<space>bring<space>into<space>your<space>house<space>to<space>bring<space>fresh<space>air<space>into<space>your<space>house.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1362.80 2.72 There's<space>a<space>loss<space>there<space>because<space>you're<space>bringing<space>in<space>cold<space>air.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1365.60 19.20 And<space>then<space>you<space>have<space>the<space>real<space>demon,<space>the<space>infiltration<space>loss,<space>and<space>infiltration<space>is<space>the<space>uncontrolled<space>ventilation<space>of<space>your<space>house<space>through<space>gaps<space>in<space>your<space>house,<space>somewhere<space>around<space>the<space>windows,<space>at<space>the<space>soffits,<space>at<space>gaps<space>where<space>this<space>sill<space>plate<space>sits<space>on<space>top<space>of<space>your<space>foundation,<space>they're<space>all<space>over<space>the<space>place.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1384.80 2.56 And<space>the<space>older<space>the<space>house,<space>the<space>leakier<space>the<space>house.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1388.24 3.20 So<space>the<space>first<space>thing<space>we're<space>attacking<space>is<space>that<space>conductive<space>loss.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1391.52 17.92 And<space>in<space>Vermont,<space>because<space>we're<space>in<space>one<space>of<space>the<space>coldest<space>climates<space>in<space>America,<space>we're<space>in<space>climate<space>zone<space>six,<space>cold<space>and<space>humid<space>climate,<space>we<space>need<space>an<space>R-50<space>to<space>R-60<space>wall,<space>R-80<space>to<space>R-100<space>ceiling,<space>and<space>R-50<space>to<space>R-60<space>under<space>the<space>slab.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1409.52 1.68 Now,<space>why<space>do<space>I<space>have<space>the<space>other<space>numbers<space>here?
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1411.28 4.88 Because<space>it<space>really<space>depends<space>on<space>your<space>sighting<space>of<space>the<space>house<space>and<space>how<space>much<space>solar<space>heat<space>gain<space>you<space>get<space>as<space>to<space>what<space>you<space>need.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1416.32 3.12 The<space>size<space>of<space>the<space>house,<space>and<space>those<space>things<space>all<space>have<space>an<space>effect.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1420.24 2.48 The<space>passive<space>house<space>system<space>is<space>not<space>proscriptive.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1422.72 6.64 I<space>cannot<space>say<space>to<space>you<space>build<space>a<space>house<space>with<space>these<space>walls<space>and<space>you'll<space>have<space>a<space>passive<space>house<space>because<space>there<space>are<space>too<space>many<space>factors<space>involved.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1429.44 8.64 When<space>you<space>get<space>to<space>a<space>super<space>energy<space>efficient<space>house,<space>a<space>house<space>that<space>uses<space>almost<space>nothing<space>to<space>heat,<space>every<space>loss,<space>every<space>gain<space>has<space>to<space>be<space>taken<space>into<space>account.

Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1462.72 7.44 That<space>means<space>the<space>amount<space>of<space>heat<space>that<space>gets<space>through<space>the<space>window<space>into<space>your<space>house<space>is<space>.36<space>or<space>39.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1470.56 2.16 Those<space>windows<space>are<space>not<space>designed<space>for<space>Vermont.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1472.72 6.48 Those<space>windows<space>are<space>designed<space>for<space>Georgia,<space>where<space>you<space>wanna<space>keep<space>the<space>heat,<space>the<space>warmth<space>of<space>that<space>heat<space>from<space>the<space>sun<space>out<space>of<space>your<space>house.

Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1551.76 6.56 I<space>said<space>that<space>the<space>RBES<space>has<space>a<space>four<space>air<space>changes<space>per<space>hour<space>at<space>50<space>pascals,<space>that's<space>ACH50.

Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1596.88 3.68 And<space>then<space>15<space>minutes<space>later,<space>it's<space>happened<space>all<space>over<space>again.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1601.04 17.20 So<space>one<space>of<space>the<space>things<space>that<space>we<space>try<space>to<space>do,<space>if<space>you<space>have<space>that<space>situation,<space>four<space>air<space>changes<space>per<space>hour,<space>5,<space>10,<space>I've<space>seen<space>more,<space>then<space>you<space>are<space>heating<space>the<space>outside,<space>and<space>you<space>need<space>a<space>really<space>big<space>furnace<space>to<space>keep<space>heating<space>that<space>cold<space>air<space>that's<space>coming<space>into<space>your<space>house.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1618.72 2.72 Passive<space>house<space>has<space>a<space>minimum<space>requirement<space>for<space>new<space>buildings.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1621.44 0.64 This<space>is<space>a<space>mall.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1622.08 4.96 Right<space>now,<space>I'm<space>talking<space>about<space>new<space>buildings<space>of<space>.6<space>air<space>changes<space>per<space>hour<space>at<space>50<space>pascals.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1627.12 2.72 That's<space>less<space>than<space>one<space>an<space>hour.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 1630.08 8.88 That<space>means<space>that<space>every<space>hour<space>and<space>a<space>half<space>or<space>hour<space>and<space>20<space>minutes,<space>that<space>fresh<space>air<space>has<space>been<space>blown<space>in,<space>that<space>cold,<space>fresh<space>air<space>has<space>been<space>blown<space>through<space>the<space>gaps<space>in<space>your<space>house.

Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2006.96 2.56 So<space>we<space>like<space>to<space>make<space>small<space>houses<space>if<space>we<space>can.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2009.68 7.44 And<space>in<space>Europe,<space>you<space>have<space>a<space>family<space>of<space>four<space>living<space>very<space>happily<space>in<space>1,200<space>square<space>feet<space>and<space>thinking<space>they<space>have<space>a<space>lot<space>of<space>room.

Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2021.76 2.96 So<space>we're<space>trying<space>to<space>get<space>people<space>to<space>design<space>houses.

Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2077.68 3.92 That's<space>why<space>we<space>put<space>our<space>radiators<space>under<space>our<space>windows<space>on<space>our<space>outside<space>walls.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2082.08 5.04 That<space>means<space>that<space>the<space>wall<space>in<space>the<space>middle<space>of<space>your<space>house<space>is<space>actually<space>radiating<space>heat.

Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2179.12 19.60 You're<space>not<space>gonna<space>have<space>water<space>infiltration<space>into<space>the<space>house,<space>where<space>you've<space>thought<space>about<space>if<space>moisture<space>gets<space>in,<space>how<space>it<space>gets<space>back<space>out,<space>where<space>you've<space>thought<space>about<space>that<space>airtightness,<space>and<space>when<space>you<space>get<space>to<space>that<space>point<space>where<space>you<space>need<space>that<space>airtightness,<space>then<space>you<space>get<space>a<space>house<space>that<space>has<space>a<space>much<space>longer<space>life<space>span<space>than<space>a<space>standard<space>house,<space>more<space>durable.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2198.88 5.52 And<space>then<space>we<space>have<space>people<space>who<space>say,<space>"Yeah,<space>but<space>I<space>gotta<space>have<space>my<space>marble<space>kitchen<space>top".
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2204.40 2.72 Well,<space>what's<space>the<space>payback<space>on<space>a<space>marble<space>kitchen<space>top?
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2207.12 4.08 People<space>always<space>saying,<space>"How<space>quickly<space>is<space>my<space>investment<space>"in<space>passive<space>house<space>paid<space>back"?
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2211.44 1.68 Well,<space>what<space>are<space>you<space>investing<space>in?
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2213.20 1.68 What<space>are<space>you<space>interested<space>in?
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2216.64 3.68 This<space>is<space>actual<space>data<space>from<space>a<space>project<space>team<space>in<space>Vermont.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2220.72 5.84 This<space>is<space>the<space>code<space>house,<space>and<space>what<space>the<space>mortgage<space>would<space>have<space>been,<space>and<space>the<space>energy<space>costs.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2226.64 2.08 And<space>this<space>is<space>a<space>almost<space>passive<space>house.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2228.72 1.60 Actually,<space>it's<space>not<space>a<space>passive<space>house.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2230.40 7.44 And<space>what<space>the<space>energy<space>costs<space>were,<space>and<space>what<space>the<space>extra<space>mortgage<space>was,<space>and<space>it<space>shows<space>that<space>the<space>out<space>of<space>pocket<space>from<space>day<space>one<space>is<space>exactly<space>the<space>same.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2237.92 12.80 And<space>as<space>soon<space>as<space>the<space>energy<space>that<space>you're<space>using<space>goes<space>up<space>in<space>price<space>then<space>because<space>your<space>passive<space>house<space>is<space>using<space>90%<space>less<space>than<space>that<space>house,<space>your<space>incremental<space>increase<space>in<space>cost<space>is<space>smaller.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2250.80 2.96 So<space>you're<space>basically<space>making<space>money<space>from<space>day<space>one.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2255.12 4.40 I'm<space>gonna<space>give<space>you<space>a<space>case<space>study,<space>so<space>you<space>understand<space>the<space>history<space>in<space>Vermont.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2259.52 2.24 This<space>is<space>the<space>first<space>passive<space>house<space>that's<space>ever<space>built<space>in<space>Vermont.

Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2264.96 6.32 It's<space>1,050<space>square<space>feet<space>on<space>the<space>inside,<space>it's<space>1200<space>square<space>feet<space>on<space>the<space>outside,<space>just<space>'cause<space>you<space>have<space>16-inch<space>walls.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2271.36 5.84 That's<space>what<space>happens<space>when<space>you're<space>building<space>a<space>passive<space>house<space>to<space>get<space>that<space>R-40,<space>50,<space>60<space>outside<space>wall.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2277.84 4.56 Right<space>here<space>next<space>to<space>this<space>couch<space>is<space>the<space>only<space>heating<space>source<space>in<space>the<space>whole<space>house.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2282.48 6.56 It's<space>a<space>air-to-air<space>heat<space>pump,<space>which<space>means<space>that<space>it<space>doesn't<space>have<space>any<space>holes<space>in<space>the<space>ground.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2289.20 3.04 It's<space>just<space>a<space>suitcase-sized<space>unit<space>outside.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2292.40 7.44 And<space>if<space>you've<space>ever<space>been<space>in<space>a<space>hotel,<space>and<space>you've<space>seen<space>those<space>kind<space>of<space>things<space>on<space>the<space>wall,<space>some<space>people<space>call<space>it<space>wallboard,<space>that's<space>the<space>inside<space>unit.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2299.84 4.40 So<space>the<space>air's<space>blowing<space>out<space>into<space>that<space>room<space>right<space>there,<space>and<space>I'll<space>bring<space>that<space>back<space>up<space>in<space>a<space>minute.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2304.64 2.08 A<space>passive<space>house<space>can<space>look<space>like<space>anything.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2306.80 2.08 This<space>is<space>a<space>Vermont<space>vernacular<space>house.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2309.12 2.48 You<space>can<space>also<space>make<space>it<space>look<space>like<space>a<space>contemporary<space>house.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2311.68 3.20 Here's<space>the<space>south<space>elevation,<space>not<space>a<space>greenhouse.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2314.96 1.60 It's<space>not<space>only<space>windows.

Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2320.08 2.48 You'll<space>notice<space>the<space>north<space>elevation<space>has<space>small<space>windows.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2323.44 1.20 This<space>is<space>the<space>actual<space>house.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2324.72 3.20 You<space>see<space>it's<space>got<space>solar<space>domestic<space>hot<space>water<space>panels<space>on<space>the<space>top.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2328.24 2.40 Nice<space>looking<space>house,<space>doesn't<space>look<space>crazy.

Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2367.36 14.80 But<space>what<space>we<space>found,<space>and<space>this<space>chart<space>shows<space>it,<space>what<space>we<space>found<space>is<space>that<space>that<space>heat<space>recovery<space>ventilation<space>system<space>is<space>so<space>efficient,<space>85%<space>efficient,<space>that<space>it's<space>actually<space>taking<space>the<space>heat<space>from<space>that<space>room<space>and<space>blowing<space>it<space>up<space>into<space>the<space>first<space>bedroom.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2382.32 11.20 In<space>passive<space>house,<space>we<space>use<space>something<space>called<space>whole<space>house<space>ventilation,<space>which<space>is<space>where<space>we<space>blow<space>fresh<space>air<space>into<space>our<space>living<space>spaces,<space>and<space>we<space>extract<space>air<space>from<space>our<space>moist<space>spaces.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2393.52 2.88 That's<space>our<space>kitchens,<space>our<space>bathrooms,<space>and<space>our<space>mudrooms.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2396.48 9.44 And<space>what<space>that<space>means<space>is<space>that<space>we're<space>actually<space>drawing<space>air<space>through<space>the<space>house<space>the<space>whole<space>time,<space>and<space>it<space>gives<space>a<space>nice<space>fresh<space>air<space>all<space>the<space>way<space>through.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2406.08 7.12 And<space>what<space>we<space>have<space>here<space>is<space>the<space>heat<space>pump<space>in<space>kilowatt<space>hours,<space>that<space>outside<space>temperature,<space>and<space>the<space>temperatures<space>in<space>the<space>rooms.

Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2416.80 5.84 And<space>we<space>now<space>have<space>data<space>that<space>has<space>been<space>collected<space>on<space>this<space>house<space>for<space>almost<space>two<space>years,<space>and<space>it<space>is<space>still<space>operating<space>this<space>way.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2422.72 4.64 What<space>you're<space>noticing<space>first<space>of<space>all,<space>is<space>that<space>that<space>red<space>line<space>is<space>all<space>over<space>the<space>place.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2427.36 17.92 And<space>if<space>you<space>were<space>living<space>in<space>a<space>code<space>house,<space>you'd<space>expect<space>these<space>things,<space>which<space>are<space>the<space>inside<space>temperatures<space>to<space>be<space>following<space>that<space>because<space>it<space>gets<space>cold,<space>and<space>your<space>house<space>loses<space>heat,<space>and<space>your<space>thermostat<space>says,<space>"Turn<space>my<space>furnace<space>on,"<space>and<space>it<space>turns<space>the<space>furnace<space>on,<space>and<space>brings<space>the<space>heat<space>back<space>up,<space>and<space>then<space>it<space>all<space>goes<space>away,<space>and<space>it<space>goes<space>back<space>up.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2445.36 3.60 So<space>you<space>get<space>this<space>up<space>and<space>down,<space>up<space>and<space>down<space>on<space>the<space>inside<space>temperature.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2448.96 4.00 So<space>the<space>first<space>thing<space>you<space>noticed<space>is<space>that<space>the<space>temperatures<space>inside<space>this<space>house<space>are<space>very<space>even.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2453.44 2.16 The<space>outside<space>temperature<space>is<space>fluctuating<space>wildly.

Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2463.20 7.28 The<space>other<space>thing<space>we'll<space>notice<space>is<space>that<space>this<space>orange<space>dot<space>is<space>the<space>room<space>that<space>has<space>that<space>heat<space>pump<space>blowing<space>that<space>warm<space>air<space>in.

Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2484.24 4.48 The<space>temperature<space>differential<space>between<space>the<space>warmest<space>room<space>and<space>the<space>coldest<space>room<space>is<space>four<space>degrees.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2489.84 11.20 So<space>it's<space>72<space>in<space>that<space>living<space>room,<space>and<space>it's<space>68<space>in<space>that<space>bedroom<space>without<space>any<space>distribution<space>ducts<space>except<space>for<space>the<space>HRV.<space>How's<space>the<space>indoor<space>air<space>quality?

Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2502.96 7.12 First<space>of<space>all,<space>about<space>this<space>graph,<space>you<space>need<space>to<space>know<space>that<space>the<space>limit<space>for<space>air<space>quality<space>is<space>1,200<space>parts<space>per<space>million.

Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2686.96 2.56 This<space>is<space>actual<space>data<space>from<space>actual<space>houses<space>in<space>Vermont.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2689.60 1.92 The<space>first<space>five<space>are<space>Energy<space>Star<space>houses.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2691.52 1.92 The<space>last<space>two<space>are<space>passive<space>houses.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2693.44 3.36 Actually,<space>this<space>is<space>a<space>passive<space>house,<space>and<space>this<space>is<space>a<space>near<space>passive<space>house.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2697.12 5.44 And<space>you'll<space>notice<space>immediately<space>that<space>the<space>passive<space>house<space>is<space>using<space>a<space>lot<space>less<space>of<space>everything.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2702.88 2.88 Certainly,<space>a<space>lot<space>less<space>heating,<space>that<space>red<space>bit.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2706.24 3.28 Why,<space>however,<space>is<space>that<space>so<space>high?
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2709.92 3.68 Why<space>is<space>this<space>one<space>using<space>three<space>times<space>the<space>heating<space>energy<space>of<space>that?
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2713.76 8.64 It<space>happens<space>that<space>that<space>family<space>is<space>being<space>lived<space>in<space>by,<space>the<space>family<space>that<space>lives<space>there<space>was<space>from<space>the<space>Sudan,<space>and<space>they'd<space>like<space>to<space>keep<space>their<space>house<space>at<space>90<space>degrees.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2723.20 2.08 So<space>they're<space>keeping<space>their<space>house<space>at<space>90<space>degrees.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2725.28 10.96 Yes,<space>they're<space>spending<space>four<space>times<space>what<space>this<space>family<space>who<space>was<space>keeping<space>their<space>house<space>at<space>68<space>degrees<space>is,<space>but<space>that's<space>still<space>only<space>$60<space>a<space>month<space>to<space>heat<space>their<space>house<space>at<space>90<space>degrees.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2736.56 1.28 That's<space>actually<space>this<space>house<space>here.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2737.92 1.60 That's<space>where<space>the<space>Sudanese<space>family<space>lives.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2739.60 1.04 That's<space>the<space>passive<space>house.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2740.64 5.52 So<space>Peter<space>Schneider,<space>who's<space>given<space>me<space>all<space>this<space>data,<space>and<space>who<space>works<space>for<space>Efficiency<space>Vermont<space>built<space>this<space>as<space>an<space>experiment.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2746.24 1.20 This<space>is<space>a<space>passive<space>house.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2747.52 4.00 This<space>is<space>10%<space>less<space>worse<space>than<space>a<space>passive<space>house,<space>and<space>that's<space>15%<space>worse<space>than<space>a<space>passive<space>house.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2751.52 1.60 He<space>just<space>wanted<space>to<space>see<space>what<space>he<space>could<space>do.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2754.24 4.40 This<space>is<space>a<space>3,200<space>square<space>foot<space>passive<space>house<space>in<space>Stowe.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2758.80 4.48 And<space>these<space>slides<space>are<space>just<space>to<space>show<space>you<space>the<space>variety<space>of<space>what<space>a<space>passive<space>house<space>can<space>look<space>like.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2763.28 1.84 It<space>doesn't<space>have<space>to<space>look<space>like<space>anything.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2765.68 1.76 You<space>can<space>decide<space>what<space>it<space>looks<space>like.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2767.60 3.60 You<space>can<space>make<space>something<space>with<space>all<space>kinds<space>of<space>dormers,<space>and<space>wings,<space>and<space>everything.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2771.20 3.04 A<space>passive<space>house,<space>it'll<space>just<space>take<space>a<space>lot<space>more<space>effort<space>to<space>get<space>there.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2774.80 1.28 Not<space>my<space>favorite<space>house.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2776.08 2.40 I'm<space>not<space>very<space>fond<space>of<space>the<space>look,<space>but<space>it's<space>on<space>piers.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2778.56 4.16 They<space>decided<space>that<space>they<space>didn't<space>wanna<space>build<space>it<space>with<space>a<space>basement,<space>or<space>a<space>slab,<space>or<space>anything.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2783.44 15.52 So<space>in<space>conclusion,<space>with<space>passive<space>house,<space>you<space>get<space>a<space>high<space>quality<space>home,<space>a<space>healthy<space>living<space>environment,<space>slightly<space>more<space>expensive<space>to<space>build,<space>payback<space>in<space>three<space>to<space>seven<space>years<space>depending<space>on<space>the<space>fuel<space>you're<space>tracking,<space>and<space>we're<space>expecting<space>a<space>high<space>resale<space>value.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2799.20 3.44 I'm<space>saying<space>expecting<space>'cause<space>nobody<space>has<space>built<space>a<space>spec<space>passive<space>house.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2802.72 3.92 A<space>spec<space>is<space>it's<space>when<space>someone<space>builds<space>a<space>house,<space>puts<space>on<space>the<space>market<space>and<space>lets<space>it<space>sell.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2806.72 4.96 People<space>are<space>as<space>clients<space>having<space>these<space>houses<space>built,<space>and<space>they're<space>moving<space>in,<space>and<space>they're<space>living<space>there.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2811.76 3.60 So<space>we<space>don't<space>have<space>any<space>houses<space>that<space>have<space>been<space>been<space>sold<space>in<space>the<space>open<space>market.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2815.44 6.32 And<space>net<space>zero<space>energy<space>is<space>easiest<space>to<space>reach<space>by<space>using<space>the<space>Passive<space>House<space>Standard.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2822.40 1.76 So<space>that's<space>the<space>first<space>presentation.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2824.72 10.64 I<space>don't<space>wanna<space>lull<space>you<space>all<space>with<space>my<space>sonorous<space>tones<space>into<space>too<space>deep<space>a<space>stupor.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2836.00 3.60 Passive,<space>yeah,<space>into<space>a<space>stupor.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2839.60 8.96 But<space>I<space>did,<space>I<space>know<space>that<space>a<space>lot<space>of<space>people<space>have<space>houses,<space>and<space>they<space>wanna<space>know<space>what<space>it<space>takes<space>to<space>make<space>a<space>house<space>that<space>you<space>already<space>have<space>into<space>a<space>passive<space>house.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2848.64 2.08 Now,<space>my<space>house<space>isn't<space>a<space>passive<space>house.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2850.72 2.56 You<space>see<space>all<space>that,<space>4.75<space>with<space>retrofits.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2853.28 10.56 It's<space>actually<space>more<space>like<space>eight<space>kiloBTUs<space>per<space>square<space>foot<space>per<space>year,<space>and<space>I<space>got<space>mine<space>to<space>something<space>on<space>the<space>order<space>of<space>12.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2864.08 10.88 So<space>it's<space>three<space>times<space>as<space>bad<space>as<space>a<space>passive<space>house,<space>but<space>I<space>did<space>get<space>my<space>house<space>from<space>110,000<space>BTU<space>per<space>hour<space>heating<space>system<space>to<space>24,000<space>BTUs<space>per<space>hour.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2875.04 3.92 So<space>I've<space>reduced<space>my<space>load<space>by<space>75%.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2879.04 3.84 So<space>when<space>I<space>bought<space>this<space>house<space>four<space>years<space>ago,<space>I<space>have<space>these<space>two<space>garages.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2882.88 2.16 Those<space>two<space>garages<space>are<space>under<space>my<space>bedrooms.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2885.44 6.16 The<space>first<space>winter,<space>we<space>had<space>frozen<space>feet<space>whenever<space>we<space>walked<space>from<space>the<space>conditioned<space>space<space>below<space>over<space>to<space>our<space>bedrooms.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2891.68 3.44 Now,<space>we<space>like<space>our<space>bedrooms<space>a<space>little<space>chilly,<space>but<space>we<space>didn't<space>like<space>them<space>that<space>chilly.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2895.84 10.08 So<space>I<space>have<space>a<space>northwest<space>orientation<space>with<space>the<space>ridge,<space>which<space>means<space>I<space>have<space>east-west<space>orientation<space>with<space>the<space>main<space>access<space>for<space>my<space>building,<space>exactly<space>the<space>wrong<space>orientation.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2906.32 3.92 I<space>have<space>a<space>heated<space>garage,<space>it<space>was<space>wonderful.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2910.48 1.84 It<space>went<space>from<space>my<space>furnace.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2912.32 2.32 I<space>had<space>a<space>hydronic<space>heating<space>or<space>baseboard<space>heating.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2914.72 10.08 It<space>went<space>into<space>my<space>daughter's<space>room,<space>then<space>into<space>this<space>garage,<space>and<space>then<space>in<space>my<space>son's<space>room,<space>and<space>then<space>into<space>my<space>bedroom,<space>and<space>then<space>back<space>into<space>the<space>garage,<space>and<space>then<space>into<space>my<space>bathroom.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2924.88 3.76 By<space>the<space>time<space>that<space>circuit<space>got<space>to<space>the<space>bathroom,<space>there<space>was<space>no<space>heat<space>left<space>in<space>it.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2928.72 2.40 I<space>was<space>heating<space>the<space>outside,<space>literally.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2932.48 2.72 Now,<space>you<space>all<space>know<space>what<space>a<space>raised<space>ranch<space>is,<space>right?
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2935.28 4.40 You've<space>got<space>about<space>two<space>to<space>three<space>feet<space>of<space>cinder<space>block<space>wall<space>on<space>the<space>bottom.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2939.68 2.56 You've<space>got<space>a<space>walkout<space>basement,<space>which<space>is<space>where<space>the<space>garage<space>is.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2942.32 2.24 And<space>then<space>it's<space>all<space>frame<space>going<space>up.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2946.64 12.56 When<space>I<space>moved<space>in,<space>it<space>was<space>originally<space>single-pane<space>windows,<space>and<space>I<space>just<space>moved<space>here<space>from<space>the<space>Netherlands<space>where<space>they<space>have<space>pretty<space>good<space>windows,<space>and<space>I<space>said<space>to<space>the<space>local<space>contractor,<space>whose<space>name<space>I<space>will<space>not<space>divulge,<space>because<space>I<space>don't<space>think<space>that<space>he<space>deserves<space>to<space>be<space>beat<space>up<space>about<space>this<space>'cause<space>he<space>just<space>didn't<space>know<space>any<space>better.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2959.36 2.24 I<space>said,<space>"What<space>are<space>the<space>best<space>windows<space>you<space>can<space>find<space>me"?
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2961.68 4.48 And<space>he<space>said,<space>"Oh,<space>Andersen<space>Super<space>Low-E.<space>"They're<space>the<space>best<space>thing<space>around".
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2966.32 2.08 So<space>I<space>said,<space>"Well,<space>you're<space>the<space>expert.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2968.40 0.64 "I<space>just<space>moved<space>here.

Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2973.84 5.12 And<space>he<space>did,<space>and<space>it<space>costed<space>me<space>$15,000,<space>which<space>is<space>what<space>a<space>set<space>of<space>windows<space>would<space>cost<space>you.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2979.12 6.32 And<space>as<space>soon<space>as<space>I<space>finished<space>having<space>them<space>installed,<space>I<space>took<space>the<space>passive<space>house<space>course,<space>and<space>I<space>fell<space>over<space>dead.

Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 2998.88 5.20 So<space>in<space>my<space>renovation<space>plan,<space>I<space>decided<space>I'm<space>not<space>gonna<space>replace<space>these<space>windows<space>I<space>just<space>bought.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 3004.16 2.56 I'm<space>just<space>gonna<space>live<space>with<space>the<space>fact<space>that<space>I<space>have<space>these<space>windows.

Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 3011.52 2.32 So<space>I<space>can't<space>make<space>that<space>air<space>changes<space>of<space>point.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 3013.84 5.60 Now,<space>with<space>the<space>retrofits,<space>it's<space>one<space>air<space>change<space>per<space>hour<space>instead<space>of<space>.6,<space>but<space>I<space>can't<space>hit<space>that.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 3019.84 6.24 The<space>other<space>thing<space>is<space>that<space>they<space>have<space>a<space>horrible<space>solar<space>heat<space>gain<space>coefficient,<space>that<space>.3.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 3026.24 5.84 They<space>have<space>an<space>U-value<space>of<space>.29,<space>which<space>is<space>like<space>R-value<space>of<space>three.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 3032.40 5.36 And<space>,<space>okay.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 3038.48 3.84 It<space>has<space>a<space>couple<space>of<space>good<space>things<space>going<space>on.

Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 3046.80 11.12 Now,<space>as<space>a<space>person<space>studying<space>auditing,<space>I<space>have<space>learned<space>that<space>you<space>cannot<space>install<space>fiberglass<space>so<space>that<space>you<space>get<space>the<space>number<space>rated<space>on<space>the<space>package.

Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4688.72 1.52 Are<space>raised<space>ranches<space>pretty?
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4690.32 2.40 No,<space>not<space>in<space>my<space>opinion,<space>but<space>I<space>don't<space>care.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4692.80 9.52 It's<space>warm,<space>and<space>it's<space>a<space>place<space>where<space>we<space>have<space>our<space>happy<space>family,<space>and<space>our<space>dog,<space>and<space>our<space>two<space>cats,<space>and<space>our<space>mouse,<space>and<space>that's<space>the<space>mouse<space>that<space>we<space>have<space>on<space>purpose,<space>by<space>the<space>way.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4703.04 4.72 When<space>you<space>make<space>a<space>house<space>really<space>energy<space>efficient,<space>you<space>don't<space>have<space>mouse<space>problems,<space>you<space>don't<space>have<space>a<space>mouse,<space>yes?
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4707.76 0.88 Anything<space>on<space>mice?
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4709.60 4.40 We<space>have<space>lots<space>of<space>mice<space>that<space>come<space>in,<space>especially<space>around<space>this<space>season.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4714.16 0.24 Yeah.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4714.64 3.44 And<space>so,<space>the<space>walls<space>are<space>four-inch<space>walls.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4718.32 3.36 They<space>had,<space>oh,<space>what's<space>the...
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4721.68 4.88 The<space>XPS.<space>-<space>The<space>fiberglass<space>insulation<space>batts.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4726.56 1.44 Okay,<space>yup.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4728.08 11.28 Every<space>time<space>I've<space>undone<space>a<space>wall<space>in<space>the<space>garage<space>or<space>somewhere,<space>and<space>looked<space>at<space>that<space>in<space>the<space>basement<space>to<space>look<space>at<space>that<space>stuff,<space>it's<space>black<space>with<space>dirt.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4739.36 0.56 Yup.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4740.00 3.36 It's<space>full<space>of<space>mouse<space>channels<space>and<space>everything.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4743.52 5.36 So<space>the<space>R-value's<space>probably<space>down<space>from<space>11<space>to<space>about<space>what?
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4749.12 1.44 Half<space>or<space>something,<space>one.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4750.64 7.60 First<space>of<space>all,<space>if<space>you've<space>seen<space>black,<space>when<space>you<space>open<space>up<space>a<space>wall,<space>if<space>you<space>see<space>black<space>in<space>your<space>fiberglass,<space>you<space>have<space>air-washing.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4758.32 10.56 Air-washing<space>is<space>where<space>there's<space>air<space>infiltrating<space>into<space>your<space>wall<space>and<space>blowing<space>cold<space>air<space>through<space>your<space>insulation,<space>and<space>taking<space>that<space>insulated<space>value,<space>and<space>making<space>it<space>zero.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4768.96 6.00 It's<space>as<space>if<space>it<space>was<space>empty,<space>because<space>the<space>house<space>have<space>to<space>heat<space>that<space>back<space>up,<space>and<space>then<space>it's<space>getting<space>washed<space>again,<space>and<space>heating<space>it<space>up.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4774.96 1.60 It's<space>just<space>like<space>the<space>inside<space>of<space>the<space>house.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4776.72 11.44 So<space>the<space>R-value,<space>especially<space>if<space>you<space>know<space>you<space>have<space>rodent<space>activity,<space>because<space>what's<space>happening<space>then<space>is<space>that<space>the<space>feces<space>and<space>urine<space>are<space>becoming<space>blown<space>throughout<space>the<space>house,<space>and<space>you're<space>getting<space>that<space>in<space>your<space>house.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4788.24 1.44 It's<space>just<space>unhealthy.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4791.04 3.12 In<space>that<space>situation,<space>there<space>are<space>a<space>couple<space>of<space>things<space>that<space>you<space>can<space>do.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4794.56 4.96 You<space>can<space>rip<space>all<space>the<space>drywall<space>in<space>your<space>house<space>out<space>and<space>start<space>again.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4799.92 3.44 And<space>if<space>you're<space>gonna<space>do<space>that,<space>at<space>least<space>talk<space>to<space>me,<space>and<space>I'll<space>give<space>you<space>some<space>ideas.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4803.44 5.20 You<space>can<space>do<space>what<space>I<space>did,<space>which<space>is<space>rip<space>the<space>outside<space>of<space>the<space>house<space>out,<space>and<space>add<space>a<space>whole<space>bunch<space>of<space>insulation.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4808.88 15.68 The<space>reason<space>that<space>mice<space>come<space>into<space>your<space>house<space>is<space>'cause<space>there's<space>access,<space>it's<space>warm,<space>and<space>they<space>can<space>smell<space>food<space>because<space>your<space>house<space>is<space>just<space>blowing,<space>when<space>the<space>wind<space>blows<space>this<space>way,<space>it's<space>blowing<space>it<space>out<space>this<space>way.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4824.72 3.36 And<space>all<space>the<space>smells<space>of<space>that<space>food<space>are<space>going<space>out<space>into<space>the<space>world.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4828.16 4.32 And<space>every<space>one<space>of<space>these<space>hungry,<space>cold<space>mice<space>are<space>thinking<space>nirvana.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4833.20 19.76 They<space>are,<space>and<space>I<space>can't<space>tell<space>you<space>how<space>many<space>times<space>we<space>go<space>into<space>a<space>house<space>that<space>has<space>supposedly<space>insulated<space>walls,<space>and<space>we<space>looked,<space>and<space>you<space>just<space>see<space>these<space>squirly<space>little<space>pathways<space>where<space>the<space>mice,<space>or<space>squirrels,<space>or<space>whatever,<space>voles,<space>shrews,<space>all<space>of<space>these<space>little<space>rodents<space>get<space>in<space>there,<space>and<space>they<space>love<space>it.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4853.68 2.80 They<space>just<space>love<space>it,<space>it's<space>a<space>great<space>place<space>to<space>raise<space>a<space>family.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4857.20 16.08 And<space>when<space>I<space>pulled<space>down<space>the<space>insulation<space>of<space>my<space>house,<space>I<space>had<space>a<space>mask<space>on,<space>and<space>I<space>was<space>using<space>a<space>HEPA<space>filter<space>vacuum<space>cleaner<space>because<space>the<space>hantavirus,<space>although<space>we<space>don't<space>have<space>it<space>in<space>our<space>area,<space>is<space>caused<space>by<space>dried<space>rodent<space>feces.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4873.84 5.92 So<space>it's<space>not<space>just<space>kind<space>of<space>bad<space>for<space>you,<space>it's<space>really<space>bad<space>for<space>you.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4880.64 8.40 And<space>I<space>know<space>your<space>house,<space>and<space>I<space>know<space>that<space>at<space>some<space>point,<space>you<space>guys<space>would<space>probably<space>be<space>well<space>off<space>taking<space>the<space>siding<space>off<space>and<space>putting<space>your<space>siding<space>on.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4889.04 2.24 And<space>if<space>you<space>get<space>there,<space>then<space>you<space>do<space>this.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4891.52 4.40 Then<space>you<space>buy<space>cheap<space>insulation,<space>you<space>hire<space>Jim,<space>and<space>his<space>guys<space>come<space>in<space>do<space>the<space>whole<space>job.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4896.00 8.00 They<space>go<space>up<space>in<space>your<space>attic,<space>and<space>they<space>seal<space>it<space>all<space>up,<space>and<space>then<space>you<space>can<space>heat<space>your<space>house<space>with<space>your<space>ground<space>source<space>heat<space>pump,<space>which<space>is<space>what<space>you<space>should<space>be<space>want,<space>it's<space>what<space>you<space>want.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4904.08 7.04 You<space>do<space>it<space>anyway,<space>but<space>you're<space>living<space>in<space>that<space>house<space>at<space>55<space>degrees,<space>which<space>is<space>okay,<space>you<space>can<space>make<space>that<space>choice,<space>but<space>that's<space>not<space>the<space>choice.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4911.20 2.80 Yeah,<space>it<space>is<space>a<space>forced<space>choice,<space>that's<space>not<space>a<space>choice<space>on<space>purpose.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4914.24 0.16 Yeah.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4915.04 0.56 Right?
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4915.84 6.72 'Cause<space>that<space>you<space>have<space>that<space>old<space>cast<space>iron<space>radiator<space>in<space>the<space>upstairs<space>rooms,<space>and<space>you're<space>putting<space>your<space>heat<space>pump<space>water<space>through<space>there.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4922.56 1.76 I've<space>been<space>to<space>their<space>house.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4924.48 2.88 And<space>that<space>radiator<space>is<space>not<space>rated<space>for<space>that.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4927.36 4.32 And<space>the<space>water's<space>in<space>the<space>right<space>temperature<space>to<space>bring<space>that<space>room<space>up<space>to<space>anywhere<space>near<space>comfortable<space>levels.

Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4952.72 2.08 No,<space>to<space>the<space>sheathing.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4954.96 2.96 Okay,<space>now,<space>that's<space>a<space>good<space>question.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4958.00 1.60 Now,<space>that's<space>not<space>the<space>EPS,<space>right?
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4959.68 3.68 Because<space>the<space>EPS<space>was<space>only<space>attached<space>to<space>the<space>cinder<space>block.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4963.36 1.84 You're<space>talking<space>about<space>this<space>stuff.

Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4986.16 6.00 And<space>when<space>we<space>pulled<space>the<space>sheathing<space>off,<space>we<space>saw<space>that<space>the<space>sheathing<space>they<space>put<space>on<space>my<space>house<space>was<space>Homasote.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4992.72 3.68 Homasote<space>is<space>sound<space>board.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4996.40 0.80 They<space>have<space>that<space>on<space>the<space>exterior?
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 4997.20 11.20 The<space>exterior<space>sheathing<space>is<space>Homasote<space>except<space>in<space>the<space>corners<space>where<space>they<space>thought,<space>"We<space>needed<space>a<space>little<space>structure,<space>"so<space>we're<space>gonna<space>put<space>some<space>half-inch<space>plywood".
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 5008.48 0.56 That's<space>it!
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 5009.28 2.48 If<space>you're<space>not<space>familiar<space>with<space>Homasote,<space>it's<space>a<space>paper<space>product.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 5011.76 2.64 Yeah,<space>you<space>can<space>crumble<space>it<space>in<space>your<space>fingers.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 5014.48 21.60 It's<space>got<space>an<space>R-value,<space>but<space>it's<space>got<space>absolutely<space>no<space>air<space>stopping<space>power<space>at<space>all,<space>and<space>it's<space>not<space>structural,<space>and<space>it<space>should've<space>never<space>been<space>used<space>there,<space>but<space>it<space>was<space>really<space>common<space>in<space>1970s<space>'cause<space>it<space>was<space>really<space>cheap<space>to<space>put<space>plywood<space>on<space>the<space>corners<space>and<space>Homasote<space>the<space>whole<space>thing,<space>and<space>that's<space>what<space>they<space>did<space>in<space>my<space>house,<space>so.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 5036.08 0.64 It<space>seemed<space>like<space>a<space>good<space>idea.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 5036.88 1.52 It<space>seemed<space>like<space>a<space>good<space>idea<space>at<space>the<space>time.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 5038.40 3.60 Well,<space>for<space>the<space>builder,<space>it<space>was<space>a<space>good<space>idea<space>'cause<space>they<space>wanted<space>the<space>cheapest<space>house<space>they<space>could<space>build.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 5042.08 14.80 So<space>they<space>went<space>through,<space>and<space>they<space>found<space>the<space>studs,<space>and<space>they<space>actually<space>had<space>to<space>go<space>and<space>buy<space>a<space>10-inch<space>screw,<space>even<space>though<space>it's<space>only<space>six<space>inches<space>of<space>insulation<space>because<space>the<space>eight-inch<space>screw<space>was<space>just<space>not<space>getting<space>into<space>the<space>stud<space>enough.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 5057.12 10.32 So<space>in<space>the<space>places<space>where<space>the<space>screw<space>wandered<space>and<space>didn't<space>get<space>in<space>on<space>the<space>inside,<space>I<space>had<space>basically<space>a<space>two<space>inch<space>end<space>of<space>a<space>screw<space>sticking<space>out<space>that<space>I<space>broke<space>off.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 5068.64 1.20 So<space>that's<space>how<space>they<space>did<space>it.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 5069.84 3.04 And<space>it<space>is<space>all<space>sitting<space>on<space>top<space>of<space>the<space>EPS,<space>as<space>you<space>can<space>see<space>here.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 5073.04 1.92 So<space>it's<space>not<space>just<space>hanging<space>there.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 5076.24 2.24 That's<space>how<space>they<space>did<space>it.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 5078.80 4.64 And<space>then<space>they<space>put<space>another<space>layer<space>on<space>top<space>of<space>the<space>bigger<space>screws<space>and<space>just<space>longer<space>screws.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 5084.40 1.20 There<space>was<space>a<space>lot<space>of<space>work.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 5085.68 4.08 I<space>mean,<space>this<space>part<space>of<space>the<space>project<space>was<space>$42,000.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 5089.84 5.20 And<space>then<space>I<space>wanted<space>that<space>bay<space>window<space>replaced<space>with<space>a<space>flat<space>window,<space>and<space>that<space>costed<space>me<space>another<space>$4,000.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 5095.12 5.12 And<space>the<space>taping<space>took<space>more<space>time<space>than<space>they<space>were<space>expecting<space>with<space>the<space>TYPAR<space>we<space>just<space>got.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 5100.56 4.48 Nobody<space>takes<space>TYPAR<space>or<space>Tyvek,<space>and<space>it<space>does<space>nothing<space>if<space>you<space>don't<space>tape<space>it.

Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 5118.16 7.52 So<space>that<space>costs<space>me<space>another<space>$3,000<space>more<space>than<space>expected,<space>and<space>that<space>brought<space>me<space>up<space>to<space>my<space>about<space>$50,000<space>that<space>I<space>paid<space>Jim<space>to<space>do<space>work.
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 5126.56 7.76 Isn't<space>that<space>adding<space>to<space>the<space>moral<space>of<space>the<space>story<space>that<space>the<space>more<space>detail<space>you<space>put<space>in<space>on<space>the<space>insulating,<space>the<space>better<space>off<space>you<space>are?
Passive_Houses_Presentation 1 5134.56 4.80 Airtightness,<space>if<space>you're<space>gonna<space>do<space>anything<space>to<space>your<space>house,<space>make<space>it<space>airtight<space>first.
