Tearing a Historic Home Foundation Apart- Pouring a Passive House Concrete Slab and Shotcrete Wall

Our friends, Builder Matt Hoots ( / @sawhorsedesignbuild ) and architect Chris Laumer-Giddens ( / @lgsquared ) have made lots of progress on the 1920's Passive House Retrofit since our initial blower door test, the leakiest test I've ever seen ( • Advanced Blower Door T... ). See and hear the details of how this is working, and what's to come down the road for this project.

A lot of people would just knock the house down. Kudos to this guy for not creating landfill stock. Houses shouldn’t be disposable

Why did you both choose Rockwool over Polystyrene for foundation insulation? Airflow to aid with Radon mitigation? Doesn't it cost more?

I used polystyrene (EPS, aka Styrofoam) in our TinyLab’s floor cavity, and have been listening to ants eating it for years. Not a huge fan as a result.
