PassivHaus

So, it seems that the American people who promote the PassiveHouse name (either PassivHaus or other) promote products or techniques that don't meet the specs of the international PassivHaus organization.

Therefore, I am told, that if you want to get a house certified it may take some work to find out who to go to. Here in Canada we can use the European requirements so it isn't an issue here. There are builders certified to the US standards but I don't know if they meet the European standard.

Just wondering what anyone else has heard?
