475 cs

475 High Performance Building Supply invites the Passive House Accelerator community to take a tour of their new headquarters office in Brooklyn, a project made possible with funding from Empire State Development. Set to open in early 2025, the building represents a milestone in 475’s ongoing mission to transform the North American construction industry. The building will serve as a model for high-performance building practices, employing Passive House principles, mass timber construction, and foam-free, low-carbon materials to achieve dual Passive House certification with both Passive House Institute and Phius. The retrofit employs nearly every component and material that 475 supplies. In this virtual tour 475 CEO Floris Keverling Buisman will take us through how the 5 pillars of Passive House were achieved using 475 solutions, including: the Pro Clima airtightness system, Brink heat recovery ventilation, and Lamilux flat roof skylights. Join us to find out how 475 worked to take their own advice, and what it means to build like the future depends on it.

WARNING: Things will get geeky.

This free presentation will take place on Thursday, December 12th at 9am PT / 12pm ET and will be followed by a lively Q+A session. See you there!
