What We Have Learned from Many Built Multifamily Passive Houses
Curtis + Ginsberg Architects has completed five multifamily Passive House buildings, with two more in construction and six more in design. Steven Winter Associates has completed over 20 Passive House buildings, with 15 more in construction and 30+ more in design. We have collaborated on many of these projects. By reviewing variations in the systems, we can draw conclusions about what works best for structure, envelope, ventilation, heating and cooling, and on-site generation, as well as for both residents and owners We will present the details of at least six buildings, what we have learned, and how they are performing.
