Is this sarcasm ? because sounds like sarcasm. If Grok generating naked images of children is your ideea of free speech no wonder nobody takes a stand against Trump and Co., you somehow managed turn your common sense to dust...

If you think house prices are a joke now, just wait 2-3 years. I'm actually a structural engineer with a passion for passive houses and went into programming 8 years ago. I designed and built a lot of houses and I know what you're

House prices per sqm in Romania based on average net earnings per month is lower than ever, lower than 2014 when price per sqm were at the lowest after the 2008 financial crisis. Why don't you consider buying the house with a bank loan

Just yesterday my father's Philips CPAP was replaced after more than a year of complaints to Philips Romania. Thanks to HN I read an article that said Philips put a lot of money aside for Respironics issues and this made me investigate

You need a separate hot water tank and a 3-way valve, when hot water is requested the hot water from heat-pump will get diverted into the hot water tank (puffer).

You're welcome! I live in Europe (Romania) and to be honest I would not know what to expect in terms of costs. You lose at least 25% of your energy trough the roof, this can even go up to 30-35% if the ceiling is cracked or air is abl

1. I would start by lowering the ceiling and insulating it. For ceiling if you insulate it using mineral wool, or glass wool... the vapor barrier [0] is critical and must be placed continuously on the warm part. Also this membrane (preferab

I want to also to highlight the importance of the building airtightness (Air Changes per Hour) on the energy consumption needed for heating. I saw an example at some point in one of PassivHaus presentation and it was like this: 0.3 ACH -&gt

Exactly what coryrc said in his comment, for a PassivHaus you recover very slowly the cost of the heatpump and if it brakes once in 10-15 years while it takes to recover the investition... you will never recover it.

I agree, you do not need concrete and brick but you also need to take into account the local traditions. For ex. building a wood house (framing or CLT) would have cost much more than concrete and bricks and was also much more prone to error

Small in comparison with a typical single family homes that goes >150 sqm in my area. I completely agree with you, 99 sqm is more than enough for a 4 people family.

Really interesting. I've read about also "foundation insulation skirt" that allows you to create a warmer earth mass under the house. To be honest this was the biggest "complaint" that others had in regards of how a

Instead of a heat recovery ventilation you can use energy recovery ventilation which gets back some of the humidity, otherwise just buy a cheap electric boiling humidifier and it you get the job done. What is important that in the coldest p

First of all, if you build a PassivHaus in normal climate (not cold) you will be amazed to see that you do not need a heat pump, you can just use normal electric boiler for hot water and use electric underfloor heating mats for heating, or

You must also be careful on how you mount the windows. Have a look at the german standard called "RAL montage" to see that you need an inner and outer membrane and then have a look on where to mount the window inside the wall.. th

I've also built a simple and small (99sqm) PassivHaus in Romania, 5 years ago. Everybody, and I mean everybody from family to friends called me nuts, but I've got my payback this winter when the energy prices went trough the roof

Foam insulation has other problems, see for eg. thermal drift.

Indeed. Autodesk Advance Steel generated fabrication drawings need a lot of effort to get it right but AS was ahead of Tekla in regard with connection design and modeling/detailing super strange parts/structures. As for the prices
