Pipsqueak Passive House Makes a Big Noise
Spotlight
Jan 26, 2023

Db Architecture of Salt Lake City, Utah, is one of the most experienced Passive House building designers in North America. Dave Brach and his talented staff combine function and form, placing human health and comfort as their primary objective. Brach Design knows mechanical systems inside and out, and is one of the earliest CERV smart ventilation designers in the US.

Pipsqueak Passive House is a great example of a home that is the confluence of a healthy and comfortable indoor environment coupled with excellent energy efficiency and a beautiful aesthetic. This PHIUS-certified home with a -1 HERS score is a zero-plus solar home that supplied 15% more energy than needed by the home during its first three years.

What do you do with the “excess” energy collected? Drive your EV to Alta, Snowbird, Solitude and many other of the best ski areas in North America!
