PASSIVE DESIGN
The most efficient building design requires no energy
Passive buildings are incredibly resilient and require less operational costs than traditional, energy-code minimum construction. According to the Passive House Institute of the United States (PHIUS), “Passive building principals offer the best path to Net Zero and Net Positive buildings by minimizing the load that renewables are required to provide.”
