The pods were also incredibly well designed for such a compact demonstrator. They are a closed loop and show many strange scenarios you encounter in the field (inside-inside pig’s ear corner? Got it.) They also offer immediate feedback which I appreciate I would really love to build one for my company’s training if the plans are ever available, or design something similar!

Also should be said Ben and Daria are among the best trainers I’ve ever encountered in the construction industry. It is really obvious they care about the community and are passionate about what they do. Need more just like them.

Building to the Passivhaus standard has much easier than I expected!  The material is easy to work with. The details are easy to execute. Enrico has provided thorough design details and is readily available to answer questions from the field. I’m in!
