What do you think about Net Zero? If you liked this, be sure to check out Exploring if Tesla Solar Roof is About to Go Mainstream - czcams.com/video/Xi_5PqHcKNc/video.html
The net zero must built under local material and energy in their climate. Also, the net zero building need to working under new economy. Examples: U.A.E. is wanting to change their economy beyond oil.
The mycelium spores can also be used for instant travel in space... it's the secret sauce of the Star Trek Discovery ship.
My off-grid log house here in Finland is already net zero. Locally sourced logs for building, triple pane argon filled windows, heating on wood (renewable and sustainable) and power from solar with a back-up generator running on vegetable oil to get through winter when we don't have sun for the 10kW solar array. The generator only needs to run to recharge the batteries instead of running 24/7 to keep the house going, making the whole thing more efficient.
In North America the greater gains are to be had from moving away from sprawling car dependent suburbs. LEED gold towers are great but I think it pales in comparison to the gains to be had from simple residential zoning changes.
commuting to and from the net-zero building is a potential waste of energy. Location is another important factor then the building. You can have a inefficient building a location where everybody walks - is better then a net-zero building in the middle of nowhere - where everybody takes a car.
You should do an interview with a Net Zero or Passive House architect and home owner.
It would be interesting to hear about how they went thru the process of building green.
We're currently working on a passive house video, but I'd like to do something more hands on as well.
@@UndecidedMF Eric Corey Freed is always open to chat, he is a cofounder of Geoship and an architect who has worked on Living Building Futures certification. (I might be late here, sorry!)
Thanks, Matt for publishing the video! As an architect and multi-discipline engineer, I have been for decades trying to educate clients to incorporate these technologies. Sadly building owners are short term thinkers who only think about the initial building costs and don't consider the long term saving potential in operating costs utilizing these technologies.
These things should be mandatory in new builds.
Whats your opinion on climate controlled geodesic domes as a habitat? like the size of half a city block?
@@JessePlautz It could work for some northern locations that experience cold weather but the HVAC load in more southern regions would be too high.
@@billkemp9315 do you think it’s possible to reduce the heat inside the dome by using plants or permaculture?
Of course, our planners and developers only thinking about quick money making and putting it into their pockets. Back in 2012, I suggested to use that water collection off the roofs in every residential Kitchen extension & Loft Conversion in London. Do you think everyone was very much interested? Of course not. They looked at me as on idiot trying to complicate things. Even now in 2022, basically we have only one Siemens building like that, actually collecting water from rain. OK, maybe 2-3 buildings. But that's a drop in the ocean for the last 20 years. We should start think differently how to change the system. The system has to change as well. Leo(Architect & Engineer)
My mom's old office was LEED certified. Had a garage with EV charging and solar panels on the roof
What building was this and in what city ?
They should give tours to other developers and builders to educate them about the benefits of Net Zero building. Ask them to give a tour to local schools and students.
I used to work in the Darden headquarters in Orlando and it was LEED Gold certified. Like MythosGandaar's mom's office, it had solar panels on the roof and EV charging in the parking garage.
EV charging on the roof. How do you get your car up there? ; ).
Pretty good over view Matt. When I saw the title I was thinking "here we go again, Green Washing", but you steered clear of many of the things you get LEED points for. I prefer the Net Zero concept since it's a bit more straight forward as far as lowering energy use or offsetting it with on site generation.
So interesting Matt! I loved this!
Excellent summary. I suggest following with an episode on the Passive House movement.
And that he did. Great work Matt. You're covering all relevant subjects.
Know of any companies working towards these same goals in the residential area? Thank you for the great and exciting content
There are some, one example is mogu.bio they focus on all insulators and furniture
The company 475 is bringing this type of 'Passive House' design products to the US over from Europe. It's more popular in areas where electricity is much more expensive. I'm sure if you searched Passive House developer you could find some in your area.
None, all of the major company claim they care about the environment, but in the back of their heads all they care is profit and their stocks.
@@beauvsb5230 Thats how the economy works... Innovate and develop new products or services that bring value to the world and society in order to make profit. Everyone win
@@soy_terricola Anything humans touches gets broken, let that sink in. Theres nothing in the natural world gets preserved. If you really believe these companies care then you can kiss goodbye on the next generations to come.
Have you done a similar video on net-zero single-family houses?
British focus but if you look up "Fully Charged" they have done a few net-zero homes from the UK.
As a society we really should be moving away from single family homes
@@birdrocket Why?
I’ve got one coming up. Stay tuned.
@@TCt83067695 One word. Suburbs. Probably the biggest waste of land and energy I would say, on our ENTIRE planet. There's plenty of fantastic videos on why they're bad for people, bad for local economies and just act as massive pyramid schemes in the long run [I recommend City Beautiful's videos and 'The Suburban Wasteland']
We need land-use efficiency in the future, and that means pushing for more semi-detached housing being the way forward; in mixed-use, higher-density, walkable neighbourhoods with reliable public transport.
While single-family homes by themselves aren't really the issue I'd say you live in the middle of the country, in urban areas, no.
Great video as always!!!
So much useful information Matt. Thank you for producing all your content. It's informing my new build project!
Thanks and greetings from Turkey !
Great vid man! Helped me a ton with my dissertation.
Fungus is amazing! Read, "Teaming with Microbes." Living soil is what I dream nanotech will be like one day.
Great video. Love seeing these innovative concepts.
Great summary. Thanks and greetings from Turkey !
Working from home saves more than 100% of lifetime building energy costs: You don't have to build an office building, you don't have to power it, and you don't have to drive to it. This is the way of the future.
Great info Matt. Thank you.
Thanks, Ron!
Thanks for sharing!
this channel deserve more subscribers . i love it .
Thanks for this one Matt
Very good summary. Thank you very much
I'm a B.Tech Civil grad. Felt the need to lean into my creative nature and incorporate it into my workflow.. going for M.Des Sustainable Design now. Wish me luck fellow humans🖐😎
THIS VIDEO SO HELPFUL THANK YOUUUUUU
This is so resourceful and informative… thank you
Thanks for this video!
Congrats, Matt!
Thanks, Cassiano! And thanks for your help on this video!!!
thank´s for collecting all those very Important Projects !!! This is important for a sustainable Future
Permit me introduce you the herbal mixture that cured my herpes in a period of 10 days. I am a living witness of this wonderful work of this doc.

Very informative and useful. Thanks for sharing.
Loved it, Matt! We'd LOVE to watch you create your own Net Zero/Passive home. This is something we are now considering because of this video.
The benefit that you neglected to mention from the mycelial bricks is that concrete production produces a huge amount of carbon dioxide which would be reduced. By using the corn stalks in the building you mentioned, that building essentially also sequestered all the carbon from those plants instead of putting it back into the carbon cycle (until they broke it down for the biodegradability demo). This could provide the opportunity to build buildings with a SIGNIFICANTLY reduced carbon footprint or even a net negative one all the way back to the base resources.
Here's a concept I think would make an interesting video topic, how feasible is converting the updrafts from a skyscraper into wind generated power?
So glad I found this channel. Thanks for all the great info, and please keep at it!!
Just watched your Passive House Design & Green Building videos. Great content as always! Have you heard of Masdar City? Was initially meant to be the world's first zero-carbon city. Possible video idea?
thanks for the knowledge🙏
Very interesting video. I've been seeing some on hempcrete. Also on bamboo. Just watched your video on algae for making plastics. A lot of new technologies coming out. Thanks for bringing them to us.
LEED is a good start; Don't forget the even more rigorous building certifications through the Living Building Challenge, or Passive House certification.
This is all so awesome, thanks for sharing, Matt!
this is awesome!
building with fungus? ....me: Morrowind music starts playing
Good video - would be neat to see a city level conceptualization of green building - roads, bridges, open spaces, etc.
Love this topic!
This video is packed with so much valuable information, every time I watch I learn something new 😊 Thanks a lot for all your hard work.
Well done Matt, this is an excellent & informative video.
Hello Matt great video!! I am engineer and passive house consultant. Maybe you should do a video about passive house institute efforts that are targeting the household mainly and greater scale buildings. Keep up the good work!
Thanks, Dimitris! That's actually the plan ... stay tuned.
@@UndecidedMF Interesting that you expand your topics to buidings. I live in a passive timber frame house in Belgium. You don't see them a lot. The construction cost is easily € 200k higher compared to a traditional house (size +/- 200 m2). You choose this because of ecological reasons. This surcharge can never be recouped with a lower utilities bill.
@@flr But you'll save us from the extreme weather changes and lack of clean water and food. Have ya noticed the price of agricultural industries? You can check it out at CNBC's Futures and Commodities.
Whats your opinion of large geodesic domes that are climate controlled? are they feasible for living?
i just enjoy these videos, they stay on topic and they are always so informative and even chatting about eco friendly concepts definitely helps a lot with pushing politicians on driving green projects
Hi Matt, love the format of these videos, do you have a reference list for the stats you've mentioned? Thanks
Another great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the iformation. I also ph.D student on green building concept in Rainwater Harvesting in the buildings.
🙋♂ Matt, tks for sharing the roof of The Music City Center here in Nashville. 👍 Excellent video Matt.
Nice show, Matt.
Nice video. Some stuff I didn't know about in there (like the bricks and the Bullit building). This is a huge subject. take a look at domestic next. Especially retrofit as there are an awful lot more buildings to fix than new ones that will be built.
(I've EnerPHited my house - passivehouse retrofit standard)
I really enjoyed this video! It was very interesting. I'm currently writing a thesis about the impact of sustainability on the performance of REITs. I would say that green building is a major challenge that we are currently facing and finding solutions is of utmost importance. I'm glad you brought up the subject in this video!
thanks for the share
Very cool, thanks
Great topic!
Great content 👍
that intro music always gets me so hyped for ur video! Usually I don't like intros, but yours is an exception for sure
I appreciate that!
Thanks Matt...I still have a lot of concerns about the mercury that is leeched into the soil and ultimately water tables from solar panels.....Clean drinking water is one of our most precious resources and I hope we haven’t pushed forward for progress sake without proper safety precautions.
Thank you very much for the interesting and fruitful video. I liked, subscribed and will follow your chanel. Please provide more videos like this, Matt.
Would love more talk on timber buildings. Their feasibility, how they've been doing until now, and their cost
Good suggestion.
just saw the intro. Im in. I finished watching the video BTW. Congrats. :)
Hey Matt, great video! New to the channel and definitely a subscriber. But please tell me the name of the building on your cover photo? :)
I like this topic and really enjoyed this video. Also worth looking into is the Passive House (Passivhaus) building standard. It focuses on insulation and temperature control to drastically reduce building operation energy costs.
Okay, after scrolling through the comments it seems like you have plans to do an EP on passive house. You are on top of it, I should have known! Well done!
We have a "low flow" crapper. Usually we have to flush it _AT LEAST_ 3 times to get solids to go down the drain. And yes, I've had the rest of the plumbing checked, no blockages in the drain lines at all. If I was going to replace it with another low flow I'd look into a system designed for marine or RV use since for those you REALLY don't want any extra liquid than is absolutely necessary going into your holding tank (or sewer system).
Thanks Matt for information,I am an architecture student
Good video for architecture students
Really informative video
you should have also discussed transparent wood. It has some really incredible properties for construction.
Dude, you should have billions of subscribers!
I am designing a zero carbon solution for an existing high rise for my 3rd year project so this video is super helpful, thanks!
I’d love to know more about this project!
Tks for showing the Green roof of the Music City Centre here in Nashville. The roof is the outline of a guitar, the one parts are the frets. Its a pretty cool building.
Cold Sores(Herpes) is best treated and Cured with Natural Roots and Herbs from my experience and how I was Cured of genital Herpes. Herbal medicine eradicate the virus, symptoms & Outbreak totally from inside and has no side effect... This is real and i used it just four weeks and tested Negative later. contact through whatsapp: +2349020918458or inbox email; dreromosele614@gmail.com
Thank you✌
Am a little late coming to this video, I've been going through your back catalogue since discovering your channel. My dad has built a few green buildings, using hay bales. The walls may be thick but does it ever make for good insulation, it is so easy to heat and cool.
That's great. So many wonderful innovative building designs are out there for us to use. The more we know, the better choices we can make. What about hemp? Hemp is an extremely efficient and effective crop. Has thousands of uses, including building materials, as well as essential food, medicine and textile or paper fibres.
Great video Matt, thanks for sharing insight into this important component of more sustainable living. The upfront construction cost doesn't seem much higher than conventional building, did you hear much about the timeline for payback, as the energy savings were substantial?
I would love to see a deep dive into some of your videos. Take two of the most interesting technologies in this one and deep dive link in the video to find out the economic, building skill level, durability, etc of the technology show cased.
Outstanding!
Tech in symbiosis with nature is the ultimate combo
A good example of a Green Building is "Project Jewel" in Singapore. Located in an airport.
How about doing a show covering existing homes with moving towards Net Zero and/or LEED?
It's in the works right now.
I think there are some good ideas, mixed in with lots of pretty poorly thought out ones. My home was built using a new shingle made to decompose faster in the landfill. Turns out it decomposed on my roof causing water leakage and damage after 10 short years. And the builder installed these exterior lights designed to ONLY allow CFL to be used by using a non-standard base for the bulb - that were no longer made when I went to replace the bulbs. So the landfill now also has 4 light fixtures in it that were obsolete.
Make a note to do another show in 5 years about what worked and what didn’t.
We've got plenty of net-zero construction going on here in Richmond, Virginia, USA and I'm all for it except for the privacy intrusion systems which seem to be bundled together with such projects. I mean, the cameras and other surveillance equipment is freakishly proposterous.
This is my biggest concern as well. Smart Home / Smart Car tech does not have to be a privacy invasion. Apple has proven this with HomeKit. We shouldn’t have to give up privacy to get something better.
@@fixyourthinking, well said. I find it more than disturbing, as a photographer who documented much of the summer's political activities in this region, that many people are opposed to having their photo taken in public, sometimes rather adamantly/aggressively, yet they are surrounded by CCTV cameras on every building, Amazon Ringer doorbell cams, etc., not to mention the mobile Stingray and other IMSI catchers. I'm not following the logic.
Net Zero and Passive House building standards should be part of every cities building codes.
Agreed.
Love the video man! It might be worth to also consider low tech options for reducing carbon and energy use! Most videos about improvements to our built environment often lean on new(or coming tech). Eventhough the problems are created by how and what we build. We create problems for ourselves to then fix with new tech. Everyone wants the new full glass apartments, but you are only creating more cooling demand. But if we take a step back to what we really need/adds value then we could reduce electricity bills and still get amazing buildings.
For those who are interested in simpeler(often already proven techniques) can lookup the term vernacular architecture.
Vernacular architecture: the architectural style that has been developed by the original inhabitants (of a place or habitat, extreme example:igloo) over honderds of years is often removed to make place for large high-rise which is adapted to the place that’s its being built( a full glass skyscraper I’m Dubai for example). A great book for this is: the barefoot architect.
Great examples that very easily improve our houses are orientation, shading and material use.
P.s. you might be able to find the book I mentioned online for free;)
Love this video very interesting information. Question what’s the name of the building on the cover of the video ??
Working in the commercial market as an HVAC engineer, and having done many LEED buildings, I wish videos like this would explain the topic better.
The person who watches this will think that Green is primarily about energy. But energy is really a small portion of LEED.
What a cool video! +1 subcriber.
Office buildings... I remember those...
Your videos are fantastic
Glad you think so!
Matt you mention glass curtain walls but I have discussed this with several builders and manufacturers and they estimate most of these systems will last less than 25 year. The total cost of refitting new curtain walls (moving tenants out, scaffolding, etc) is going to be possibly be so high that for many of this type of building it may be quicker and the same cost or lower, to do a tear down and rebuild.
At the end turn the volume up and show some footage!
Every step towards green building is a step towards a sustainable future. This video gives hope for what's coming next for our cities🌿🏢
this i so fascinating
On The Money Matt
Good One
Thumbs Up
No one:
Matt Farrel: fungus. Yes, fungus.
(I swear you’ve said this in like, 4 different videos I’ve watched, word for word.)
Glad that you covered this topic Matt!
Look forward to a part 2 of this topic in future :)
For your information, I work in one of the Country Green Building Council.
I'm definitely planning more videos around this in the future. So stay tuned.
Those green technology development is seriously restricted due to the cost issue.
This channel honestly makes me a little bit more optimistic about the future of mankind.
I recently participated in the review of a building design and the builders explained that solar panels were not being installed because they wouldn't be profitable. No consideration was given for offsetting the cost of power which would be drawn from the grid. Your video is great, but I am still seeing buildings constructed where the only consideration is profit, not benefit to the environment or future cost savings. :(
Please talk about Geoship!
