For my article, I will be using a video from Youtube containing the definition of passive energy homes, designs, concepts, effectiveness and their benefits. The link for the video is provided below.

The video starts by explaining what a passive home is and dwells deeper into what makes a home a passive one. I will be using information from this video to inform the reader of my topic of discussion throughout my article and will use statistics from it to captivate my readers attention early on in my article.

I will also be using a website publication by HM Architects that focuses on the benefits that can be reaped by commercial real estate owners and public entities by employing environmentally sustainable architecture. The link to the article is given below.

This article provides specific strategies to employ sustainable design and architecture, their significance and specific examples of the use of said designs. I will use examples from this article as well as photos to further strengthen my claim and support my nut-graf.
