Passive House models provide tremendous insight to design teams and help drive better building performance. However, these models come at a cost in both time and money for teams to create. Ed May, Partner in the consulting firm bldgtyp, an architecture and consulting firm based in Brooklyn, NY, joins the Accelerator to dive into the question of Passive House models and discuss how teams can get the most value out of these important tools. We look at where and when models provide the most useful information. We also discuss how many teams are not fully utilizing these models right now and offer tips for how to effectively and responsibly create early-stage models during the design phase.
