The presentation will show the implementation of passive house principles in a newly-built certified passive house in the Hudson Valley (the Hudson Passive Project) designed by Dennis Wedlick Architect LLC and a passive retrofit of a brownstone in the historic district of Park Slope, Brooklyn designed by Prospect Architecture. Originally developed in Germany, the passive house standard embodies today's highest benchmark for energy efficiency and conservation and is being implemented with ever-greater frequency in the United States. A cutting-edge approach to design and construction, the passive house standard drastically reduces the amount of energy required to operate a building (for instance, it results in a 90% reduction in energy required for heating).
Speakers will be Dennis Wedlick of Dennis Wedlick Architect, LLC., Brian Marsh, Associate Partner, and Jeremy Shannon of Prospect Architecture, PC.
