- 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.
I live in Mid Coast Maine and have done a lot of research on passive homes. We are moving to the Downeast region and are actively considering building a passive home. Well done.
You didn't show us the heat recovery system, or talk about your insulation/building materials. How air tight is the building and how it was tested would also be interesting.
Very nice design! It reminds me on new houses here in Slovenia, where a lot of pepole now are building passive houses.
btw im not trying to start a fight but im just saying that things like panels, GT pumps and other alternative energy sources are the best thing you could have in a house if you are looking for a cheap, clean, sustainable energy. just read around the net you will find plenty of material. every person i know that has invested in these technologies in their home doesnt have a SINGLE regret. just the opposite. the type of house described in the video is just the next step in efficiency. its amazing
I love it. I don’t like the dryer myself either.
Last time I did some calculations for replacing terrible old windows in my house with new tech efficient ones, it came out taking around 30 years to payoff. 14% is very optimistic (actually there's no way that's possible). I really doubt this would work for most people too. First assuming that everyone has the ability to use passive solar and second that solar panels could provide all of the other electricity needs. Check the price of solar panels if you think it is affordable...
The 14% figure is the figure used in Germany, when comparing a newly built "passivhaus" to a regular similarly sized house, due to the passive ones usually being modual or prebuilt. "Green" upgrades to an older house are significantly more expensive than creating everything from scratch. Normal passive houses are grid connected, but ususally do have solar panels which are tax deductable in Germany. Most of the savings come from heating bills.
Yes, The house was certified in 2010- the 12th passive house in the US and the 1st in Maine.
I live in NH and I would love to come to interview you guys about your houses and your community.
thats just the decorating style the owner of the house chose. i dont think it has anything to do with the way the house is build. you see this modern style everywhere and yeah it is unbelievable for people with an actual soul. lol
Great House. What is the company name, model # of the refrigerator? Thanks
Great house! I would love to know more about those sliding interior doors and the hardware they use?
Looks great inside, and I enjoyed the video . I learned a lot. Thanks . wondering if any companies are working in Connecticut?
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.
This is great! how many total square feet is the house?
thanks for video, what about cooling the house - what air conditioning systems are in place for that?
So I guess those big windows are triple pane?
Did this house end up getting the official certification as a passive house by PHI.
Great design! Is this house off the grid if it's net zero?
Also electric cars still cost more overall but they are getting closer (range and charging times is still a problem too). The only thing that matters to people is cost. That's all there is to it.
WHat about heat loss at night through those windows? Wonder why you didn't make the sunshades have insulation to resolve that ? Also, if the heat load is so small, why bother recirculating the heat from the stove top and deal with the charcoal filters etc? Why not vent outside ?
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).
this house is very efficient but i would guess 2 to 3 times the cost of a comparable home without the efficiency factor.
I'd like to have a house with solar panels at entire west roof and wall. The extra money spent on insulations and solar systems, seems to be affordable, if dealers make the profit reasonable.
the windows have air barriers that prevent heat loss to an extent (I think it turns out more heat is gained through the windows during the day then total heat lost)... they are just taking waste heat from things like dryers stoves, washing machine, capturing it, and recirculating through the house which acts like a heater. its not necessary but why bother with doing any of this then? the main goal is to circumvent energy loss in all possible ways.
Would you be willing to share where you got your efficient dryer - The one you said is very popular in germany?
The house is grid tied with net metering on an annual basis. Last year the house used a little more energy than it produced- so almost net zero....
how come that these large windwos doesnt let heat out in the winter ?
what is the heat coefficient of those ?
GREAT CONCEPT...perhaps we're a few steps of building ZERO EMISSIONS HOUSES...
Price???
It would be fine for people that prefer to live in a small box with a lot of gadgets.
Or for Mainiacs. :-) lol
I like Maine....
ok. the house has indeed a high energy performance as far a heating the House during the winter. But what about cooling during the summer?? It would be boiling hot in there with aircoditioning working like crazy. This is a solution for cold weather countries only. :-(
We used Hafele hardware, I believe the Hawa series.
5:32 how is that even possible???? why isnt this the standard in house building for gods sake??
I thought heat load was the amount of heat delivered from all sources in the house, for example people, appliances, etc. and thus the smaller the heat load, the less energy needed to COOL the house.
Here he is talking about the heat load being small, so there is less energy needed to HEAT the house. Can someone explain this to me?
He should have said "heating demand" is low, not heat load.
Always vent your range hood outside. People want to cook steak indoors.
In a Passive House ventilation is carefully controlled in combo with an airtight shell. Fresh air flow has to be carefully controlled along with the stale exhaust air. A recirculation kitchen hood catches the grease & the Recovery Ventilation recovers the humidity and heat from the stale air venting outdoors mixing the captured heat an humidity with fresh air.
the shade is on the wrong side:(
Do you have air conditioning in this home? What is the brand of electric baseboard heating units?
No need for AC in a passive house. The HRV distibute a constant temperature throughout the house and the insulation guaranties a normal temperature inside the building.
Are you able to contact me with your contact information? I love the design and I would like to know the cost of construction.

The price for this house @ 1500 sq ft would be well over $300,000 (not including land and planning costs), so I'm not sure how they are defining affordable. I would like one of these homes for myself, but I'd need to be crazy to build one. Cost-wise it simply doesn't make sense. Yes, I'd feel great about a net-zero home, and I do like the designs....but I can't not justify spending my hard-earned money. The resale on these types of homes in most markets must be horrible since they are targeted towards a very particular home owner.
They are bad investments not (necessarily) big investments. If they were economical there would be solar panels on every roof, electric cars in every driveway, and geothermal for everyone. That's my point. We could have all of these things but then we would be in massive debt and eventually be bankrupt. Look at all the solar companies going bankrupt for example. The panels aren't economical so people don't buy them.

1300 Square feet according to a Yahoo article.
Great efficiency ideas, but something feels sterile and soulless about that house. From a design/architecture perspective, it's not a space I'd want to live in.
ive read that its only 14% more expensive. and that will pay for itself in, like, a WEEK since it doesnt use electricity from the grid. lol. even if it did, its still the way houses should be build, if the cost is only 14% higher. but i guess this belongs in the same bin as electric cars. no money in it, so it will never be done in mass scale. its shameful really.
the ONLY reason why we dont have solar panels, geothermal pumps and electric cars in every house is because they are a big (as in expensive) investment. you will eventually get your money back and THEN SOME, but you need a lot of money to get them in the first place. we can make the world a better place to live in using this technology but the big players in the energy business wont EVER allow them to become a standard. you say panels are not economical. you are wrong. i know this first hand.
The exterior looks extremely ugly to me. Tall, boxy, obnoxious red color, ugly windows, skinny door. You can't get the snow off the solar panels without extreme risk because they're 50 feet off the ground, on a slick steep pitched metal roof. The people who design fuel efficient houses and cars must not want anyone to buy them.
technology is good but the house is just ugly
