Lorrie Rand is a Sustainability Specialist at Habit Studio, a Senior Advisor at the ReCover Initiative, a Board Member at Retrofit Canada, and an instructor at Passive House Canada. Her first practice, Habit Studio, is an award-winning, women-led architectural and residential design firm based in Halifax, NS, focused on Passive House and deep retrofits.

In this episode, we talk about Lorrie's semi-accidental journey into forming two companies, how her passive house journey began with a client request, Habit Studio's commitment to building passive house homes at cost parity with code-built homes, Canada's big need for home retrofits, and more.
