The Cech House: Ground breaking for pre-fab Passive House




We finally broke ground on Michigan's first pre-fab Passive House project, the Cech House, in accordance with the Passive House Institute U.S. 

Below are a few images of working with the footings, in addition to pouring the ICF foundation walls. The targeted R value for the foundation walls will be R-50, with a slab R value roughly the same. This super-insulated below grade basement will support a prefabricated state-of-the-art performance envelope made of dimensional lumber. Every piece of the envelope is built off-site, and will be shipped in to be erected in a matter of days. Check back in to watch the progress of Phoenix HP's first Passive House.
