‘PassiveHouse is for wimps; the Powerhouse standard is crazy tough. And these Norwegians do it in the dark.’
Powerhouse energy standard = Passive House + Net-Zero Energy, including all embodied energy over the life time of the building!
This hotel, located north of the arctic circle, will meet Powerhouse standard. If They can do it up there, it should be easy to build according to the Powerhouse standard here on Vancouver Island 🙂
