Dr. Wolfgang Feist is a professor and mathematical physicist who began his career in quantum mechanics and astronomy before becoming interested in energy efficiency in buildings and moving into engineering, which led him to the late Bo Adamson, a Swedish building scientist and professor at Lund University. Together, they co-originated and developed the Passivhaus standard in the late 1980s, with Dr. Feist going on to found the Passivhaus-Institut (PHI) in 1996, in Darmstadt, Germany.

In this episode, we talk about Dr. Feist's experience living in the world's first (and therefore longest-existing) certified Passivhaus, the changes in attitude and relevance he's seen over the years, the misconceptions that block people from embracing Passivhaus, what Passivhaus really is, and the best way he sees for the movement to continue to spread.
