Zero Air Leakage! Now What?

We have achieved 0.0 ACH50 at our Atlanta Craftsman Passive House project…now what? In this conversation, I will address essential questions that come up after building a house with no air leakage: Can a house be too tight? How did we do it? What fresh air and make-up air strategies did we consider and implement? Why pursue zero air leakage in the first place? I will share practical solutions and insights on achieving super tight, managing balanced and tempered fresh air ventilation effectively in tight buildings, as well as insight into why we want zero.
