Ep: 065 - Thinking Deeply About Passive House // Alan Gibson

Episode Summary

In this episode of Architecture, Design & Photography we sit down with Alan Gibson, Principal and Founder of GO Logic.

Episode Notes

Alan is a builder by trade and the owner and general manager of GO Logic LLC. Alan founded the business with architect Matthew O’Malia in 2008 with the sole purpose of designing and building Passive House buildings.

After finishing his degree at Brown University, Alan landed in Maine in the late ‘80s as an organic farm apprentice, then bought 75 acres of land and built his own house. From there his carpentry work evolved into a general contracting business where, in spite of some resistance, he encouraged as much energy-efficient design as possible. Eventually the high-performance concept caught on, and when Passive House arrived it codified much of what he’d been trying to do all those years.

Alan is a Certified Passive House Builder and Designer. He is secretary of the board of directors of Passive House Institute US and the Passive House Alliance US. He lives with his family on a farm in Belfast, Maine.
