+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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.
