Making Passive House Standard - Free Live Interactive Webinar

12:05 PM - 01:05 PM

Buildings are responsible for a significant chunk of our world’s carbon emissions and their rate of impact is particularly high in dense, urban environments. In response, New York (among other cities) is seeing an uptick in low-energy, high-performance building standards, including Passive House, for their large multi-family and mixed-use buildings. While Passive House design can certainly be a powerful tool in reducing carbon emissions, buildings constructed to meet this standard have also proven to provide tenants with healthier living environments that are also more affordable to operate and maintain. From the initial successes of large-scale Passive House projects in NYC, are we able to scale up Passive House construction to other urban areas and beyond? Do technologies exist that will allow us to seamlessly, and affordably, transition to a low-carbon future for our built environment? Can we make Passive House standard? In this session, we will hear from a leading design firm on how they successfully implemented Passive House strategies on a number of their large-scale urban buildings. We will explore the technologies they adopted and take a close look at the products that have helped them to transition to making Passive House principles standard in their practice.
