Brian Guinan — ISMART Building Group

Passive House Podcast cohost Matthew Cutler-Welsh interviews Brian Guinan, Certified Passive House Consultant, Certified Passive House Tradesperson, and Owner/Director of ISMART Building Group in Perth, Australia. The two discuss Brian’s apprenticeship as a builder in his native Ireland, his time in construction in New York City, and his journey to Passive House construction in Western Australia. Brian shares his insights around transforming industry practice, and the importance of focusing on improvements to existing technologies and construction approaches in order to achieve the most rapid change. He shares lots more about his work to build awareness about Passive House and to build examples as proof-of-concept for builders, trades, architects, and homeowners. 

Matthew and cohost Zack Semke talk about the upcoming NAPHN hybrid conference, Passive House For All, that will take place on June 10 and 11, 2021.
