Episode 37: 8 Fundamentals to Home Design - Chris Laumer-Giddens

Chris Laumer-Giddens shares his journey into architecture and why airtight building envelopes are critical for preventing moisture and mould. Drawing on a Passive House project that achieved zero air leakage, he highlights what’s possible with the right approach.
Chris also advocates for simpler, more durable design, challenges over-complicated solutions like spray foam, and explains why ERVs can outperform HRVs when it comes to moisture control — all while keeping long-term comfort and building performance front of mind.
