Is it 'Passive House' or 'Passivhaus'? That was one question I put to expat Kiwi, and architect Elrond Burrell. The main question though, is Passivhaus even relevant to New Zealand? Elrond currently works as an Architect in the Herefordshire branch of Architype: http://www.architype.co.uk/ In this episode, we also cover: What is Passive House? How can designers and builders of high performance homes compete with the mass market? How important is indoor-outdoor flow and can you still achieve Passivhaus with it? Can Passivhaus be mass produced? What's the role of social media for building professionals?
