In this new episode of All Things Facades Podcast, we break down what Passive House actually is — and what it isn’t.

Featuring Enrico Bonilauri, co-founder of EmuPassive, the conversation cuts through common myths around cost, materials, and prescriptive checklists, and reframes Passive House as a performance-based approach grounded in building physics.

We talk about applying Passive House principles to commercial buildings and retrofits, why whole-window performance and airtightness matter more than individual products, and how phased upgrades can deliver real energy and comfort gains over time.

This episode is for architects, engineers, and builders who want to understand Passive House in practical, real-world terms.
