Passive is passive, right? Not so fast...π€
When you hear Passive Solar Design (PSD) and Passive House (PH), they may sound like the same thingβbut theyβre not! π«
Though they share similar goals and principles, these two approaches to design and construction are actually quite distinct. Itβs easy to mix them up, but weβre here to set the record straight.
In one of our blogs, we break down the differences, dive into their unique qualities, and clear up the confusion. Check it out π link in bio!

Today is π₯Ύ #AdventureDay! Craig and Todd love to be outside, adventuring individually and together. When they are not reviewing house plans for windows and airtightness, or spreading the love about Passive House, they like to get out to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine together. βοΈ

π Habitat for Humanity is building to a high standard here in Colorado, helping to prove that affordable housing can also be EFFICIENT housing.
By using energy-efficient building techniques and products, Habitat for Humanity helps keep costs low for the long haul in Gunnison, CO. Cost of living in the mountains is π high, so keeping home utility costs π low enables regular people to afford to live in this location.
AE was thrilled to contribute energy-efficient windows and doors from our friends at @alpenhpp to help build two homes in this neighborhood.

When homeowners are looking into βοΈ energy-efficient building or retro-fitting, the first two questions they usually ask are:
π€· Where do I start?
πΈ How much will this cost me?
From years of experience, Todd has succinct advice: keep it simple!

From fables like π The Three Little Pigs to building towers with our 𧱠blocks, we learn from an early age how essential walls can be. In passive house design, the walls work even harder than standard walls, which is why we think about walls a lot here at the AE Building Systems.
For this month`s blog, we focused on designing your wall assembly with passive house principles in mind. Most importantly, how to:
β‘οΈ Keep air out
β‘οΈ Ensure the wall dries to the exterior
β‘οΈ Use continuous insulation
β‘οΈ Take climate into account

πͺ Our very ambitious clients, the Jungclaus family, have been working hard all summer to keep the momentum up on their mountain cabin before winter weather sets in. βοΈ
They are doing everything on this gorgeous mountain project in Alma, CO themselves, including building a yurt to stay in, clearing the land, and building to be energy-efficient. All with a baby in tow! πΆ (Scroll to the end for the family photo!)
It has been a lot of hard work, but those views make it all worth it! To keep them comfortable while enjoying their hard-earned view, they will be using Alpen Zenith 625 windows with Thin Glass Triple.
We are so impressed with the work they have done already, and we will provide more updates soon. π
