Itโs official, Iโm certified! This week I joined a prestigious group of like-minded builders and officially became a Passive House Institute US Builder.
.
The certification process was a lot more intense than what I expected. It felt like a culmination of all the building science Iโve learned over decades. Some certifications are a joke, a two hour seminar and then a multiple choice test that you could have probably passed without attending the lecture. Not this one, it was 40 hours of classroom with a test that took me 20 hours to complete!
.
Thank you Josh @birdsmouthpdx and Rob Leonard for teaching the class.

The man, the myth, the legend @glauserbuilding explaining his high performance @passivehouseinstituteus wall assembly at our @bs_and_beer_atx event at Danielโs personal house. He walked us through the details and challenges of his passive remodel, thanks for hosting and thanks to @rockwoolna for providing the beverages. ๐ ๐ ๐ #austincustombuilder #austinbuilder #austin #builders #contractors #construction #realestate #constructionmanagement #projectmanagement #allaboutthedetails #architecture #architects #betterbuilthomes #awesomehomes #energyefficiency #buildingscience #indoorairquality #buildersofig #contractorsofinsta #finehomebuilding #house #carpentry #dreamhome #build #carpenter #newconstruction #design

#backporch of our Edgemont project with @hughjeffersonrandolpharchitect and @mgdesignsaustin. Look how a hidden I-beam holds the glulams from the top, makes it look like it floating! @huberwood zip sheathing is going to make it #airtight along with some @siga_north_america tape at the bottom.

I saw this great article in ProBuilder by Richard Baker about the need for a weep on stucco overhangs. I couldnโt agree more and we have done this detail a few different ways but I really liked this concept. What do you think? ๐ ๐ ๐ #austincustombuilder #austinbuilder #austin #builders #contractors #construction #realestate #constructionmanagement #projectmanagement #allaboutthedetails #architecture #architects #betterbuilthomes #awesomehomes #energyefficiency #buildingscience #indoorairquality #buildersofig #contractorsofinsta #finehomebuilding #house #carpentry #dreamhome #build #carpenter #newconstruction #design

Just love this kitchen we did with @clark_richardson_architects at our Crestvale project. #walnut veneer with a @rubiomonocoatusa oil finish. The solid surface backsplash and #waterfallisland finish it off so nicely. See how the splash extends into open cubbies of the uppers, so awesome!! ๐ธ @thevuvobandit ๐ ๐ ๐ #austincustombuilder #austinbuilder #austin #builders #contractors #construction #realestate #constructionmanagement #projectmanagement #allaboutthedetails #architecture #architects #betterbuilthomes #awesomehomes #energyefficiency #buildingscience #indoorairquality #buildersofig #contractorsofinsta #finehomebuilding #house #carpentry #dreamhome #build #carpenter #newconstruction #design
