JRM, "under footings"

this is interesting, I don't think my building code inspectors would allow this?

You must have used expensive high compression rated foam?

" I originally wanted better insulation and windows to get that down to 9,000 BTUH for the house, but $12,000 extra to save $50 per year on the heating was too much."

This is the delima we face in USA and why I think trying to meet Passive House standard is excessive.

I realize that our "Green at any cost" brothers will disagree.
