Episode Details

Norman Garcia is an engineer and principal building science consultant at AllClimate Passivhaus in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, and the founder of Passivhaus Philippines. In addition to being a Certified Passive House Designer, Norman is also a Certified Passive House Construction Verifier and an accredited Passive House Course Provider.

In this episode, we officially launch Norman's 500 Filipino Passivhaus Challenge: training 500 Passivhaus professionals in the Philippines by 2040. We also talk about the Passivhaus benefits that are most relevant to the Philippines, what switching between the extreme cold of Winnipeg and the extreme heat and humidity of Manila has taught Norman, why he loves the "open source" nature of the Passivhaus community, and how much we both like EMU Passive!
