We're planning a move to Oklahoma City and would like to build a home there that is passive solar. Any ideas on where to find an architect or a builder who is particularly skilled in such construction techniques?

You might check out this website. It appears there is an effort in Oklahoma City to build more sustainable housing. Good Luck!

Default Passive House design

Mary,
Just found your post while doing some research online tonight.
I know that it has been some time since you posted this query, but I recently completed the training to become a Certified Passive House Consultant through PHIUS. I was fortunate to do this along with several other industry professionals from across the country. As you may know by now Oklahoma is a slow adopter of more cutting edge technologies, but now there are a few of us around the state interested in building these very green homes. I learned a great deal during my CPHC training, and, if you are still interested in living in one, I would be glad to discuss a length with you. I am an Registered Architect, and absolutely love the work of creating wonderful homes. Please feel free to message, or look me up on LinkedIn: [url]https://www.linkedin.com/in/larryblucas[/url]

All the best,
Larry

Oklahoma also levies a tax on all solar panels purchased and installed in the state. This is supposed to balance out the transmission fee assessed on your electric bill to support maintaining the power grid. In actuality, it likely discourages doing what you are doing.
