Upcoming NHCC Lecture – Save the Date
February 5th, 2011 by Tim Delhey Eian
North Hennepin Community College invited me to share the stage with Dr. Konkol—the owner of the Passive House in the Woods. Dr. Konkol and I will be discussing our experience with the Passive House project, and inform and educate young people to consider energy efficient housing as they begin planning for their own projects.
As part of the same event at NHCC, Will Steger is presenting as a keynote speaker on Monday, April 18. He will be speaking on his polar experiences and on energy efficient housing. We’ll be able to tie into his lecture with Dr. Konkol’s house.
Please save the date: April 20, 2011 from 10 – 11 AM at North Hennepin Community College. Details to follow.
Thanks for visiting!
November 14th, 2010 by Tim Delhey EianThe 2010 Passive House Days are over and we are going to take a break from tours and site visits.
Tim Eian, Gary Konkol and the design team would like to thank you, the roughly 2,000 visitors that came and saw this home in the last 6 weeks or so.
I hope to have offered insight, knowledge, and excitement about the Passive House building energy standard. Going forward, I am going to collect actual data comparing the real-life performance of the Passive House in the Woods to the energy model. I will continue to feed this blog from time to time with information. You may also find more information on Passive House and my studio’s ongoing design work at www.testudio.com/blog.
Thanks for visiting!

We congratulate him and wish him all the best for a sustainable and healthy future. We’ll miss the trips to Hudson!
By the way, there is one more opportunity to see the home in November. For three days, we are participating in the International Passive House Days. You can find more detail in the left hand column.
