This is the first certified Passive House in NYC and meets the standards for new construction, surpassing EnerPHit certification for retrofit Passive Houses. The Passive House retrofit of a 110 year-old brownstone serves as an important model for homeowners interested in an energy-saving retrofit of an existing urban dwelling. Each Passive House retrofit project involves its own singular conditions that demand creative problem-solving and meticulous attention to the application of insulation.
opendialogue architectural designer, Julie Torres Moskovitz of Fabrica718 and the Passive House consultant, Jordan Goldman of ZeroEnergy Design will be on hand to talk about the project.
