Madison City Channel cameras captured this discussion by Passiv Haus Architect Meinhard Hansen. Meinhard Hansen is from Madison’s sister city of Freiburg, Germany, and has had an impact in the world of sustainable design. The concept of Passiv Haus design has been in Europe for a while, and with the Northeast Neighborhoods plan adopted, Madison may see this kind of construction. As this area develops, Madison can expect to see Passiv Haus design proposals or proposals that incorporate many of their simple, but effective, concepts.
