I'm very thankful for this podcast. There are a lot of gems of information in here. Now that I know about Passive House it's a definitely game changer. It would be difficult to buy a house without making major changes to enhance the quality. This podcast is just the beginning and Matthew Cutler-Welsh and Zack Semke were able to get the ball rolling. Well done!

Brilliant
