Ilka Cassidy Joins Source 2050

Ilka Cassidy has joined Source 2050 as one of the in-house Passive House consultants! An architect and CPHC with intimate knowledge of Passive House envelope design, building science, prefab construction, and natural building materials, Ilka brings her unique perspective and expertise to the team. Having worked on high-performance projects of various typologies, including both new construction and retrofit, Ilka will provide insights and real-world experience to help make the procurement process smoother. As co-founder of C2 Architecture and Holzraum System, Ilka brings years of business experience to the team, allowing her to better understand the challenges that owners and developers (not just architects) face while sourcing products that align with a project’s goals and timeline.

Ilka will advance Source 2050’s mission to empower the building industry to reach its ambitious 2050 decarbonization goals. Source 2050 is designed to be a hub for innovators, connecting the professionals who are constructing our built environments—architects, contractors, and engineers—with the manufacturers and trailblazers who are creating the latest in green technology through a virtual, multi-vendor marketplace. Featured products include thermal insulation, windows and doors, sealing systems, wall assemblies, ventilation systems, heating and cooling solutions, and home energy monitors. By providing access to resources and materials that not only meet but exceed the evolving regulatory standards for sustainability and energy efficiency, Source 2050 allows project teams the opportunity to streamline the process of sourcing materials that can achieve the highest performance metrics.

“I am very excited to be part of the Source 2050 team and I'm looking forward to scaling up healthy, sustainable building solutions and making them easily accessible!” Ilka says.
