The First-Ever US Collegiate Designed and Built Ice Box Challenge

Pratt Institute School of Architecture is delighted to announce that after making many stops around the globe, the Ice Box Challenge will next land at 200 Willoughby Avenue in Brooklyn NY, USA from May 1-8, 2023 for the first-ever US collegiate designed-build Ice Box Challenge.

Visitors can learn how Passive House offers a high level of comfort, can help meet climate protection goals, and make significant energy savings. Please join the event at Pratt Institute, and celebrate with everyone, including the creators of this historic project, Pratt students and their visiting Professor In Cho,  along with the Passive House For Everyone (PHFE) team. Check out high-performance building industry sponsors, attend the opening and closing ceremonies, and enter the contest with your best guess of how much ice will remain in each box at the week’s end.
