Exploring how big you can make a passive house. To get an Autel MaxiCharger for your EV, go to: https://amzn.to/3NbEFRn. Recently I’ve talked about the new net zero, passive home I’m building, but not all net zero buildings have to be homes or houses. The same net zero, passive house construction principles can be scaled up to large buildings like offices and apartment buildings.

There are some really creative concepts at work, and a few that really surprised me.
