Passive House Podcast cohost Matthew Cuttler-Welsh interviews Jesse Clarke, Innovation and R&D Manager at Pro Clima in New Zealand and Australia, about his pathway to Passive House and the healthy building movement. The question "why?" has played a key role in Jesse's journey of discovery in building science and building regulations. In the conversation, Jesse shares the "cascade of intervention" from insulation to airtightness to vapor and moisture management, and his recent work to help Australia include airtightness in its building code in 2019 and the ASHRAE 160 standard in 2022.
