http://passivehousetoronto.blogspot.com/2015/01/electricity-generation-and-off-grid-for.html

Designing and Building a Passive House in Toronto. Saturday, January 24, 2015. Electricity Generation and Off-grid for Low Energy Houses. I was recently involved in two low energy house projects and they were both on rural, undeveloped land. In these cases, I always ask, is it cheaper to have on-site generation and storage, or is it cheaper to be grid-connected? So dimensions of the question go like this:. That can be quite an additional load, depending on how much one travels, or plans to. While the...

The indoor air quality could be very poor for a while. Pressures inside and out. Moisture sensing is important to protect the building contents, but more importantly t...

Designing and Building a Passive House in Toronto. Wednesday, August 20, 2014. What Engineers Should be Doing. Sure, I'm building this net-zero passive house. It is taking too long because I want to put so much into it, and because I'm also busy trying to earn some money to keep things working in the family, in the project.

Passive House Toronto: July 2014

Designing and Building a Passive House in Toronto. Tuesday, July 15, 2014. Green Plumbing Design and Urine. Pic of the house - nothing to do with this blog post. Well, maybe I was the last to know. Our wonderful urine is a fantastic resource we have been wasting! Its a bit late to incorporate this into our house project, but with a little reconfiguration, we can make some big improvements. There is no urine separation! And there is no proper urinal for women! Lyndon and Phi Than. Links to this post.

Passive House Toronto: December 2013

http://passivehousetoronto.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html

Designing and Building a Passive House in Toronto. Sunday, December 15, 2013. Low and High Voltage CAN go in the Same Box. All our lights are low-voltage. I looked for boxes for the switches, but I was surprised to find the plastic LV boxes were expensive, and in my view, not that great. I searched for a steel box and found one!
