Kristina Held Joins Passive House Accelerator Live: Exploring Climate-Responsive Design in the Southeast

On June 18, Kristina Held joined Passive House Accelerator Live for a special episode titled “Building Strategies for the Southeast: Nevills Creek Net Zero Passive House.”

In this conversation, Kristina shared lessons from designing high-performance homes in the Southeast’s unique climate. Drawing on her experience with the Nevills Creek Passive House, she explored how regional strategies—like passive solar orientation, streamlined pathways to net zero, and the integration of direct current (DC) systems—can deliver both energy efficiency and architectural integrity.

Viewers can expect a practical, design-conscious look at how Passive House principles can adapt to place, and how smart electrical systems like DC can work hand-in-hand with beautiful, resilient residential design.
