EPISODE 50

Theory vs Reality Passive House Presentation
This was recorded from a live presentation at the Ottawa local Chapter of Professional Engineers on November 21st.
In Casey's presentation he talks about what is a passive house, what he learned from his experience and how that differed from common wisdom.
