Interview w/ John Semmelhack (Think Little)

John Semmelhack is a Passive House consultant, energy-efficiency expert and Founder of Think-Little in Charlottesville, VA. He works in a specific region of the country where 75% of new homes (2014) opted to receive a HERS energy rating despite the lack of local and state incentives for "high-performing" buildings. John and I discuss many of the benefits and challenges involved with the Passive House approach as well as nuances related to climate-specific and client-specific design. Fact: Three huge benefits of Passive House are increased Comfort, Health, & Efficiency! Episode Sponsor - Contact Host - info@shfbuild.com About John: John Semmelhack is the owner of Think Little.
