Sandy Keenan reports on the status of Passive House in the New York Times. Her story is somewhat glib–what’s really interesting are the readers’ comments. They demonstrate a lack of understanding–as well as a lack of appreciation for how new the Passive House system is, and the speed at which it is adapting to the radically variable climates of the US. That’s the real story, and Keenan unfortunately misses it.
