2. I’m curious about a couple of things mostly related to customization

   First, how customized can you get? If you want a random set of rooms, two stories, tall ceilings, etc., or other options for that?

   The other big question I have is what can build like this do about thermal mass? I have a thought being in California that I would like to use going into the ground as part of my thermal management. Obviously, the pre-built company is not going to dig a hole, I assume. But do their designs include options for let’s say fully constructed basements? And do they have ways of creating thermal mass in other ways, like having a wall made out of stone or some similar material which can retain heat on a south facing wall?

3. With the house walls open you should really think of ways to minimize future wall punctures by layout a complex cable channel system so that you don’t risk creating an air flow problem.

4. Impressive!

5. I'm trying not to rain on your parade, as it looks like you will have a wonderful home. However, your home IS a stick-built home. The sticks are just put together indoors. By the way, a home too tight is not great for indoor air quality. The energy pre-consumed for the Solar Panel production (shipped from China), The Lithium Battery production (high energy) likely shipped from Asia, extra transportation of materials to and from the factory, etc etc. This and the fact Electricity off the grid in your area is likely coal, your positive environmental impact is likely extremely minimal. Honestly, a high-quality efficient wood pellet stove would have been better. The environmental movement of today is a "feel good" movement vs. scientific advancement. If it was science-based, we'd be dropping Nuke plants in your neighborhood. Cheers! Enjoy the new home.

6. I really enjoy watching your videos, I'm sure you checked out Matt Risinger "the build show" passive house videos ?

7. Way cool! Will be interesting to see it progress

8. I would like to see a video on that insulated roof that you didn't get if it's possible thank you I guess the house like that would probably work in Northern British Columbia

9. How far are they willing to deliver?

10. Subscribed! Would love to learn more about all the various geothermal options you went through and the reason you didn't choose to go with any wind. Would you consider any other trade offs that went into designing your home where the preferred design was not sustainable enough but you may have come to some compromises to none in some aspects?

11. You should reach out to Matt Risinger and see if he'd do a collab review of your build

12. How efficient will it have to be before you can feel good about the irreplaceable New England forest your HOA bulldozed to get rich selling construction sites?

13. Do you have a cost breakdown?

14. We used to build sip houses, but fire rating so don't no more. We build passive solar masonry houses now. Usually D.C. electric because more energy efficient and long term cost. We go R60 in floors and roof. We over engineer for solar gain. We use a wick style system for moisture. To keep it drawing moisture out. We use exposed trusses with insulation on top of ceiling finish. That's usual weather to build in. We use thermal breaks around windows. We don't use forced air either for heating. Been doing a lot of off grid work.

15. Thanks Matt for sharing this. Im in Georgia and you have me very very interested in building one of these.

16. It would be really interesting to see the automation part of the house! Good luck whenever you are moving

17. I am looking forward to an overview of heating and cooling energy consumption after the geothermal system has been operating for one full year.

18. Matt l like your content.
    What’s the construction company doing? Don’t they know rain or water isn’t good for modern houses? Why didn’t they tarp the roof at least some water would have been shed away and not bothered the interior?

19. Cranes are rented by the hour and it doesn't matter if it's being used or not; if it's at a site then you are being charged for its rental. So the fact that the construction crew actually worked into the weekend probably saved you a few grand in crane rental cost(even when accounting for overtime rates for the crew running the crane on the weekend).

20. Just yesterday i took an IR camera to check how bad our house thermal bridges really are. It's a 40 year old house, made of brick and absolutely no insulation. Plus it has several large uninsulated balconies. To say it was bad would be an understatement – the balconies were glowing nice bright red in the cold winter night.

21. Very jelous of your project, would love to do similar here in the UK. Would love more information on the floowing and foundations and if you had thought about not going concrete slab at any point.

22. What an amazing project. I'm so happy YouTube analytics decided i needed a break from watching music videos because this is an amazing channel. So excited to follow along on your house project with you 😍

23. Love to see you build from theory, planning, and now a reality. Thank you!

24. Thanks for thi! I'd be very interested in a video talking about your home battery choice: why you chose the one you did (and what that was), the pros and cons of the options out there:

25. If you're really concerned about air tightness you should look into Aerobarrier. Your house is at a stage where it wouldn't take much prep work and might net you a better blower door score.

26. fascinating to say the least! Any idea as to windstorm resistance (i.e., hurricanes)

27. My wife and I were looking for a house around the time you and your wife were. The way the housing market was after the pandemic was to say the least, crazy. I have been following your channel for about four years and plan for going as green as I can within my means. One of your topics you had covered was modular homes. That modern modular homes are a close second to a passive home like yours will be. This is the direction my wife and I took. After nearly a year of looking for property and material and labor shortages, our house was built. It took them only a day to place the pieces of the house on the basement foundation. Our house walls are R29, the attic R49 and the windows are all Low-E, argon filled. We moved in about six months ago, and in about two weeks, our solar panels are going to be installed. The whole thing is an exciting process. One I wouldn't have missed for anything. Patience is the only thing needed. I wish you and your wife luck going through your process.

28. Preventing Thermal bridging is one of the most efficient methods of energy savings. If you aren’t addressing it you will never be close to net zero. Solar and batteries are not net zero in nature sorry thats all marketing.

29. Interested in indoor air management… Air filters changing often? Smells? Dust? Can you ever have a window open in the summer or is everything staying shut closed? Smoke? Kitchen, cooking, oven, grill… Oxygen levels…
