We're building a house in Pittsboro North Carolina to meet Passive House Institute of the United States (PHIUS) standards. It's an uber-efficient design using super-insulated pre-cast concrete walls and German Tilt and Turn windows. This will be the third house Anchorage has built using the concrete pre-cast wall structures and it will be their largest to date.

Plan Day
Yesterday was the day the plans were delivered to our building team so they can prepare the materials schedule which we will provide to the bank. Today we meet with one of the window vendors to discuss options to fit them within our budget. We are working to get a window selection made in the very near future since they currently are the longest lead-time items we have. We still need to make the final modifications to the window schedule but part of this becomes chicken and egg where the suggestions made by the window manufacturers will drive the aesthetics and sizes which will then mandate some changes to the pre-cast openings.
