Denver greenbuilder Lance Wright (Green Energy Man, Inc.) has organized a Colorado PassivHaus Alliance to spread the word about this high-performance building system based on a super-insulated shell.
I posted earlier that both 1st and 2nd place at the SolarDecathalon this year went to teams that used the PassivHaus Design Tool for their winning designs. Building Science has some good observations about using the PassivHaus system in the US.
Lance will open his “near PassivHaus” to the media and building performance professionals tomorrow, Dec. 15 at 10 am, Noon, and 2 pm. His phone number is (303)875-3228.
He wants to see a Passive House Consultant training offered in Denver by PassivHaus Institute US, and is collecting names of anyone interested in learning more about PassivHaus at www.coloradopassivehouse.org
