Audree Grubesic,founder of Modular Suresite and Host of Offsite Dirt chats with Mark Wille an advocate for passive house design and expert in off site construction.
The beauty of Passive House Design is that it is better for the earth and less carbon footprint, but most importantly, it is built on processes.
The processes are built on the layers that make up a six-sided box or building. Each step of the passive house design has processes that examine each layer for "livability", energy-consumption, natural environmental factors needed for living, air quality and more.
In offsite construction, a factory line is using precision to make sure that each layer is perfectly adjusted to the standards for the design and function of the finished process. The factory takes the onsite human room for error out of the picture. This makes offsite construction more affordable, less waster and less down time for labor which results in better design and construction.
Precision factory design is key to offsite construction.
