Skylar Swinford, principal of Energy Systems Consultants and longtime member of the Phius Technical Committee, is a widely recognized North American Passive House consultant and thought leader based in Boise, Idaho. Podcast cohost Zack Semke, who worked with Skylar at Hammer & Hand when that Pacific NW builder was playing a pioneering role in Passive House, spoke with Skylar about his unique pathway to Passive House, his experience building and consulting on his own recently-completed Passive House home in Boise, and the how Passive House fits with the exciting new "electrify everything" movement that is gaining traction in the US.

At the end of the episode, cohost Matthew Cutler-Welsh and Zack discuss upcoming Passive House events. Links to those events are here:  https://passivehouseaccelerator.com/articles/passive-house-week-in-preview-december-1
