Segment 1: Welcome & Introduction

Welcome to an extremely energy-efficient, all-electric house. This house was designed, energy modeled and built using the Passive House system. Passive House is an international building standard that originated in Germany in 1992.
We use the Passive House standard because it has been proven to be the best way to achieve an optimum level of quality and energy efficiency. The most important thing to remember is that Passive House puts efficiency first.
