Passive House Podcast

In this episode of the Passive House Accelerator podcast, we're kicking off a special summer mini-series on cooling and summer resiliency. Host Mary James is joined by mechanical engineer, Galen Staengl and Tad Everhart of CertiPHIers Cooperative. Galen shares insights from his extensive experience in energy-efficient green building and Passive House design, emphasizing the importance of holistic, cost-effective approaches to cooling. Tad discusses his journey from climate crisis awareness to Passive House certification and his practical experiences managing cooling in an urban heat island. The conversation explores various cooling techniques, including night cooling, evaporative cooling, and dehumidification, along with strategies to optimize air movement and distribute cool air in Passive Houses.
