I gave this slideshow presentation on 10/17/09 at the 4th annual North American Passive House Conference in Urbana, IL. It is mostly focused on the "Passive House in the Woods" project. The slideshow contains a lot of full-screen images but no subtitles, therefore omitting some of the information which would have been given verbally during the presentation.
