Building Energy-Efficient Tiny Homes with Everett Norris

#045 - How do you build an energy-efficient tiny home? What are the important aspects to consider?

Everett Norris is a Certified Passive House Tradesperson, qualified licensed Builder & Director of EverHomes Ltd. 

During his apprentice years, Everett built his first tiny house on the weekends, and eventually led tiny house workshops annually. 

Everett met his wife at a natural building conference where they bonded over their love of natural building. They started running tiny house workshops together teaching designing and building of tiny houses starting in 2018. They are about to start building a compact strawbale passive house in Christchurch, New Zealand.

In this conversation, we talk about...

• Energy efficiency, Passive House and Passive Solar Design
• Considerations for heating and cooling a tiny home
• The importance of air quality in a tiny home
• Everett's Tiny House Building Workshops
• Hedonic adaptation, finding intrinsic happiness and knowing your "why" for building / living in a tiny house... and more!
