The Passive House we constructed here on the Eastern Shore was featured in the Home section of the Virginian Pilot Newspaper PassiveHausFowlerArt.pdf. David Mitchell is the first speaker on the video, and the homeowners, who were very involved in all phase of the construction weigh in on the project. See detailed photos of the construction of the home here.
