Great video and beautiful house! Did the house use polyurethane to improve its insulation? You should check out our passive house project in Brussels, Belgium!
I think there is not enough thermal mass for a passive house.
An properly insulated ICF building will have been more appropriate for this also more durable.
But I guess initial cost was a factor and long there reliability was not.
The only thing that looks properly done is the insulation for the foundation.
The most ICF producers in Canada have the 2.5" rigid insulation on both sides and that actually exceed the minimum requirements :) should be at lest 8" of rigid insulation on the outside.

It's not sustainable if you have to rebuild it every few decades because it's falling to pieces...
