Bill & Marilyn Spohn built a high-performance modular home just outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. They named it SunnyField.
Many design elements resemble those used in a Passive House. SunnyField is close to NetZero and uses onsite solar PV.
Bill describes finding a design team and local builder who could meet the home's performance expectations. He also worked with a modular factory to execute the details.
Bill is an HVAC measurement and building performance expert. He used industry partnerships to incorporate advanced technologies into the home. He also uses tools for ongoing performance monitoring and data collection.
The episode includes a sneak peek at a startup that aims to help contractors provide better customer service related to electrification and home performance features.
