Passive House exhibit at the MN EcoExperience

Date Occurred: 14 0821 - 14 0901  I designed the Passive House resilient construction corner for the Center for Sustainable Design Research (CSBR) exhibit in the MN EcoExperience building at the Minnesota State Fair. I presented the exhibit to fair goers and answered questions on energy efficient building construction and home construction repairs for 8 days. Topics included different insulation and wall framing systems, including 2x4/6 framing and ICF (insulated concrete forms), having a low carbon building footprint, resilient and durable construction systems, Passive House quality construction and residential HVAC systems. Represented PHA-MSP (Passive House Alliance - Minneapolis/St Paul) as a volunteer sustainable architecture expert. The exhibit is seen by hundreds of thousands of fair goers each year and has been shown multiple years at the fair.
