The Results are In: Lessons Learned from Post Occupancy Data in Multifamily Passive Houses
Curtis + Ginsberg Architects has completed 6 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 strategy, heating and cooling systems, and on-site generation. We will present the details of at least 12 buildings, what we have learned, and how they are performing to the benefit of both residents and owners.
