This house is the result of extensive design and engineering work to create a home that has the highest energy performance at an affordable cost. We have worked with engineering consultants in both the US and Europe to develop our designs, incorporating the best and most up-to-date engineering into our prototype's construction and components. G•O Logic has traveled to Germany to source the highest performing building components to incorporate into our buildings. We believe that to build for the future, we need to utilize the very best technology today.
Beautiful house; the passive house standard is definitely the way of the future. Did you use any polyurethane in the home's insulation? We're currently building a passive house in Brussels, Belgium to showcase the benefit of polyurethanes in energy efficient housing.

One hair drier to heat the house is not a good example average hair dryer is 1600W on high.
According to passive house standards the heating dose not need to exceed 15 kWh/m² per year guess the house is about 120m² so total energy / year for the house need to be 1800kWh
But maybe there is a mild climate there and is fine.
Glad to see someone is building this houses it looks quite similar in design with the one I build some time ago.

According to an article on ecohomemagazine it's only $160/sq.ft to build!

Nice work! Do you have plans to track whether you're meeting the net zero goals? We live in Common Ground on Lopez Island -- also solar (PV + domestic hot water), passive solar architecture community land trust home. We've found 4 out 11 households were able to meet net zero goal so far (2 years now).
