Superhouse
Description
This video tells the story of the direct relationship between form and energy. Why do our houses and buildings look the way they do? While we have all come to understand that form follows function, to explore this question fully, we need to look at our homes and buildings in the context of energy cost and supply. As buildings use 49% of all primary energy we create, the Passive House building approach can have an immediate effect on Carbon Emissions, Imported Oil and Energy, and even people's individual pocket books. The Passive building approach is about, understanding how we got to where we are today, and realize how balancing the energy equation is an important step towards more security on our planet, in our nation, and our communities.
