From the homeowner after moving in:

"As I write it's one below zero here, the wind has been howling, and it's with humor that I tell you that we've yet to turn on the heat pumps for heat.  Last night, we went to bed with the downstairs temperature around 71 and woke up this morning at 67 (I'm sure the fire went out around 11) and that's in spite of a few heat leaks in our doors which we will tackle today.

I'm amazed daily at how uniform the temperature in the house is, this stove, the hase Bari, is perfect as it is a mix of convective and radiant heat and seems to distribute heat incredibly well around the house. Yesterday after a week of gray and cloudy skies the sun shone brightly and we immediately saw a five or six degree temperature increase from our south facing windows thus the warm temperature last evening. Passive house living is not disappointing us! “
