Radon gas is a hidden threat to indoor air quality that you can’t see or smell, but it’s the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S.

Radon naturally seeps into homes through cracks and openings in the 🏠 foundation, and while ventilation isn’t a fix for radon, a Passive House design can help manage overall indoor air quality. An airtight envelope, combined with balanced ventilation, reduces the risk of radon buildup and ensures the 🌬️ air in your home stays cleaner.

Let`s talk about how Passive House design can keep the air in your home safer for your 👩‍👩‍👧‍👧 family!

It`s an unfortunate fact that just existing in your home can decrease your indoor air quality.

Studies show that when CO2 levels exceed 1,200 parts per million in your home, you may experience fatigue, headaches, and even difficulty 🧠 concentrating.

Being the science nerd that he is, Todd tested this in his own home. He found that when he’s working out on his 🚴‍♂️ magnetic resistance bike trainer in his basement, the CO2 levels can skyrocket to over 1,600 parts per million with just him in a space with 5,000 cubic feet of air! Of course, it isn`t just exercising. Hosting a 🥂 dinner party can push up the level of CO2 significantly. Without proper ventilation, those levels can impact everyone’s comfort.

That’s where Passive House design comes in! With an airtight envelope and balanced ventilation, CO2 is kept in check, ensuring the 🌬️ air stays fresh no matter the activity.

What’s your strategy for managing CO2 levels and maintaining fresh air in your home?

It’s 🔥 wildfire season, and time to bust a common myth.

While overgrown vegetation is a risk, the biggest threat to your home during a wildfire, isn’t what surrounds it—it’s airborne embers. These tiny, wind-driven sparks can travel miles and enter through cracks, vents, and unsealed gaps.

That’s where Passive House principles shine. Airtight construction dramatically reduces the chance of embers sneaking inside, even when the fire is next door.

We`re always ready to discuss the benefits of airtight design, so reach out and let`s chat!
