[Greenbuilding] interesting house in Bulgaria

[Sacie Lambertson]

A point of this site I appreciate is the overly long video detailing the
construction of the house.  I found this very interesting.  Many on this
site speak of the need to build tight but I am pretty sure most contractors
don't know the true meaning of what 'tight' means.  Architects rarely
detail this either. And while I presume most here on this forum understand
these, at my end I plan to send the link to one of the best contractors in
my area for what I am pretty sure will be his edification.

It is an overly large and I'm sure very expensive house.  I won't take bets
about its occupants being Passiv Haus trained either.

Re the cost of construction, it would be most interesting to account for
this and compare that with the projected energy savings down the line.  It
would not be difficult to do this except that it's Bulgaria.  Surely there
is good data for this on our continent?  If knowledgeable architects and
contractors had some of these stats easily at hand, it should not be too
difficult to persuade less knowing clients to spend the money now to save
it later.
