3. BONUS: Podcast Episodes from the NAPHN Conference

Early last month we had the pleasure of attending, in person, NAPHN's hybrid conference, "Passive House for All", in New York City. (Yay for vaccines!) While there, Zack conducted 18 interviews with leaders, educators, developers, and practitioners from the hustle and bustle conference hall floor. We're publishing these interviews as bonus episodes on the Passive House Podcast. Listen here.
