Bishop Passive is a one-story single-family residence located near Bishop’s Peak. The project is all-electric and seeking Passive House Certification. This certification from PHI (The Passive House Institute) focuses on creating an efficient home in an effort to reduce the building’s carbon footprint while increasing overall comfort, health, and interior air quality for the user. The project incorporates a few key components necessary to achieve these goals. The home has continuous insulation throughout the living area and is an airtight construction assembly. Both of these details ensure a more resilient shelter that maintains consistent interior temperature and comfort levels. The home subsequently requires only a small amount of space conditioning. Additionally, the project uses a balanced fresh-air-exchange ventilation system to ensure comfortable, clean, indoor air quality. The home is expected to use a small fraction of the energy of the average newly-constructed home in California - approximately 85% less. During the design process, conscious decisions were made to choose building materials and finishes that would reduce harmful off-gassing and that were made from recycled materials. This home will serve as an example of how to build a resilient, efficient, comfortable, healthy, and cost-effective home!
