An interview with homeowner Ben Freed and David White of Right Environments. Ben Freed is emblematic of the people who catch the Passive House bug. First, we see them try everything out on their own home. They work through the details, feel the difference, get sold on the concept, and want to spread the word. Ben went a step further and started his own window company. We’re excited to present Ben’s unique and incredible story.
