Co-hosts Mike and Jennifer-Lee chat with Joe Geluch looking at infill housing solutions featuring a Passivhaus+ duplex project with two lock-off suites, built on a single-family lot as a solution to addressing Vancouver含羞草研究社檚 Missing Middle housing.
含羞草研究社榃e had the opportunity to present this project at the International Passive House Conference in Germany last year. People were interested in it as a new housing typology addressing the missing middle problem in Vancouver. Currently there is an incentive with the City of Vancouver until 2025 for the FSR exemption if you含羞草研究社檙e going for a certified passive house. This project got 18% extra floor area for doing a certified passive house duplex, which meant an additional 600 square feet total, essentially one extra bedroom per home,含羞草研究社 says Allison Holden-Pope of One Seed Architecture and Interiors.
Packed with information and ideas on infill housing solutions to address the missing middle, this episode explores how building to higher standards on a single-family lot can benefit your family and community.
含羞草研究社楶assive homes used to be all about energy efficiency, and now there is a focus on embodied carbon because you含羞草研究社檝e already set this base of a high-performance home. Let含羞草研究社檚 do it using as sustainable materials. I think that that含羞草研究社檚 how things are evolving. It含羞草研究社檚 ultimately everybody含羞草研究社檚 dream, that passive house doesn含羞草研究社檛 even get mentioned anymore because it含羞草研究社檚 code. That含羞草研究社檚 just how we build. That含羞草研究社檚 what we want to have happen.含羞草研究社 Joe Geluch, Naikoon Contracting.
