Are you going to Greenbuild next week? Jane Sanders from Henson Architecture will be joining Alloy Development to lead a tour in Brooklyn on Friday, 10/23: Alloy Block & State Street: Scaling Passive House from Retrofit to Highrise.
Explore the evolution of sustainable design across time and scale, from a late 19th-century townhouse retrofit in Brooklyn, the birthplace of Passive House design in New York City, to the city’s first all-electric residential tower and the proposed world’s tallest Passive House project. This tour will showcase how innovative building strategies support low carbon development, resilience, and community centered urban growth.
The tour will begin at Jane’s project, a townhouse retrofit that achieved Passive House EnerPHit certification in 2018. It will continue to the Alloy Block where participants will visit the site of the world’s tallest Passive House mixed-use tower, the exterior of two schools designed to Passive House standards, and the interior of an all-electric skyscraper. Together, these projects demonstrate the future of sustainable living.
Continue the conversation with Jane and other New York Passive House members at a networking event held at the Passive House Certified office/warehouse of 475 High Performance Building Supply. This free event is open to all whether or not you are attending the tour. You can register for that event here:
We hope to see you there!
