Hey Mike, I don't know what you have done to the RUclips algorithm, but every 3 or 4 days it sends me to one of your videos. I think i am 430 of your 436 views on this video. Good stuff though, so you have earned it every time.
2:28 That window style are great, and are very common in Western Europe. Someday if I build a house I will try to put this style in it. I'm sure they are $$$$. I have never seen them here in the US
I'm building a near passive house in Maine. Don't like the Euro style casement inward windows because they take up interior space and because if they're open, you can bust your face by walking into one. The top tilt is not useful enough to outweigh the terrible inward open design. I'll use some awning style windows and some tall vertical casements opening outward. They come in R7 and in triple glazed Argon 366 for about $1000 each in a decent size.
We used Cedar siding! Originally we had planned to use redwood, but by the time we ordered the cedar came out cheaper---and fit the house in our opinion.
Hi! Thank you. We appreciate it. We haven't put solar hot water in any projects since 2007. Just doesn't make sense when there are more efficient heat pump hot water heaters that are easy to set up and can be offset with a few solar panels.
those windows are more than 4x the cost of local fixed windows. One can buy two fixed windows and install two of them in one opening for an effective 4 pane window that will have a higher r value and cost less than importing windows from half way around the world. It's ridiculous how expensive these passive homes get because everything costs so much. And builders wonder why they aren't selling well? comeon build smarter, not more expensive.
Respectfully disagree :) We priced a dozen window packages for this home, as we do for every client so we can show them the options. This window package including all the entry doors in the home and including a folding accordion banquet window and also a massive 15' wide and 9' tall accordion door was more cost effective than any pricing we received from our local, more-commonly used lower-quality windows and doors.

Beautiful siding. What kind is it?

@@cairncollaborative7736 can you tell me what manufacturer? I want it !
@@SolarDrew It's just vertical grain cedar. Manufactured by Mother Nature herself :)
So Good! Thanks! Have u ever tried any Solar Hot Water?

What is the long term durability of these? I worry if the film stays taught and if theres any condensation issues
You understood nothing
Hi I'm a builder based in Mississippi, who is the manufacturer of those windows?
Hi Anthony, We got these windows from Zola and utilized the Thermoclad line.
