Passive House - Indoor Air Sealing, NOT What You Think! - Jake's Passive House

Many of us have heard of air sealing the inside of the house from the outside, and how it is essential for indoor air quality and energy efficiency and how it can protect your family from smog, pollution, car exhaust, smoke, pollen and sound, but what happens when the inside of your house is also producting some pretty bad chemicals? What happens when we need to separate the living portions of a house from the working/hobby portions of a house? That is air-sealing the house and that is what we are having to do for Jake's house, where we have a garage, a metal shop, a brewery, a paint boot, wood working equipment, upholstery fabrication and a server room, and we want all of the heat, smells, toxins, odor, solvents and sounds completely separated from the living space of the house.

Join us as we get nerdy into air sealing.
