This checklist was labor of love and feverish activity in 2008 and 2009. But then this blog quieted down as I shifted my energy toward radically remaking how I do my business, how I build buildings – finding in the process, the Passive House building standard, and it is fair to say, a new phase of my life began.

Working as an architect, a promoter, an activist, an organizer and an importer of stuff – my focus on climate change mitigation is narrower and deeper, a better explanation as David Deutch might say, of my concern about the climate crises and a more useful action toward addressing it.
All this is to say that while I’ll likely leave this webpage up for some time – I encourage you to find out more about Passive House and high-performance building generally. Check out my new business that is solely focused on helping people achieve high performance, Four Seven Five. Because a truly high performing building, a building operating at Passive House levels is perhaps the biggest and most profound bite we can take out of our carbon emissions – putting us on a carbon reduction trajectory that is proportionate with the crisis at hand.
Visit:
- 475 High Performance Building Supply (my business)
- New York Passive House
- American Passive House Network
- Passive House Institute (PHI)
- Passive House Academy
These, and the organizations and business working with them are changing the world. I encourage you to find out more and get involved.
Sincerely,
Ken
