Green Build in South Scottsdale: Journey from a Passive House to a Sustainable Home - Thursday, June 2, 2022 from 6 to 7 p.m.
Registration Begins May 23
Gerald Leenerts, Home owner and high-tech wizard
Gerald and his wife knew they wanted to build a passive house, but didn't realize what that all meant. After much research and collaboration with a local architect and builder, they decided to focus on material selection as a driver for fulfilling the various functions of their home. Material selection is a big component in any building. It is a major passive element that we need to better control. There are many ways of identifying sustainable alternatives to carbon intensive and high-VOC products. Indoor air and energy monitoring in conjunction with home automation systems are also important components. Gerald would like to bring more attention to what he’s learned during the construction and expansion of their homestead.
