As most of you know, we have allowed some of our blogging to spill over to the Postgreen Homes site, particular those posts which are specifically about PGH projects.

Final Pictures from the M&M House

December 3, 2009

The first of the two houses in the Passive Project has settled, and the new owners are happy to finally be in their new Postgreen Home.

Passive Project Under Slab Air Sealing

June 24, 2009

We get asked a lot what the biggest difference is between the 100K House project and the Passive Project. The answer is always the same. Air Sealing. On a Passive House, we have to hit a very strict target on our blower door test of 0.6 Air Changes per Hour at 50 Pascals of pressure. [...]

100k Ribbon = Cut

April 2, 2009

We still have a couple of weeks left before the houses are completely finished, but we went ahead and cut a ribbon anyway. Sure it wasn’t a huge ribbon and we didn’t have giant scissors (or a sword), but I assure you that little green ribbon is good and cut. While this may seem slightly [...]
