Beyond Passive House: Emerging Research from NYSERDA BoE Early Phase Funding
NYSERDA's Early Design Support Buildings of Excellence partners will showcase three affordable Passive House multi-family projects, each featuring a variety of electrification and decarbonization strategies. Magnusson Architecture and Planning, Curtis+Ginsberg Architects, and Paul Castrucci Architects will present their ongoing research on electrification strategies, integrating renewable energy, the value add of ERVs, embodied carbon strategies, and calculations to meet zero carbon such as ILFI's Zero Carbon framework. They will also address the availability of low-carbon products in the Northeast market. The session will focus on highlighting opportunities and challenges in the pursuit of zero carbon buildings.
