Passive House talks and tutorials.
Fifteen years of talks and tutorials, free in one place. A stronger high-performance building industry helps everyone, including us.
Thermal Bridging
Where the envelope bleeds heat, plus the details where condensation and mold risk hide. We run thousands of thermal-bridge simulations a year; start here.
Multifamily & Case Studies
Real buildings, end to end, including Candela Lofts, the first PHI-certified multifamily building in New Jersey.
AI for Passive House
Using AI and agentic tools for the tedious parts of Passive House delivery, from data extraction to model QA/QC for certification paperwork.
Modeling Strategy & Value
Getting more out of your energy models: work earlier, test ranges of outcomes, then stop re-keying data by hand.
Tools & Open Source
Honeybee-PH, PHX, and the rest of the open-source Passive House Tools stack for parametric PH modeling in standard CAD.
Retrofit & EnerPHit
Deep-energy retrofits, including the NYC townhouse work that is the core of our single-family practice.
Honeybee-PH Short Course: HBPH to WUFI-Passive
A free 14-part YouTube tutorial series: build a compact Phius model in Rhino/Grasshopper with Honeybee-PH and take it to WUFI-Passive.
