Future of Passive House | Luis Medina & Ken Levenson | S7 E14

S7 E14: You may never have heard of a Passive House, or the Passive House movement, but building to Passive House standards means meeting specific criteria related to heating and cooling demand, airtightness, and thermal comfort to achieve certification. It’s an approach to building and construction that significantly reduces energy consumption, carbon footprint, and operational costs. Curious yet? This week, we learn all about Passive House- what it is, what it achieves, what it requires, and why not everyone is building or can build to these standards. Joining us is Ken Levenson, an architect himself and Executive Director of The Passive House Network, a non-profit organization specialized in Passive House education that supports the internationally-recognized Passive House Institute, and Luis Medina, a Certified Passive House Designer (CPHD) and Principal at the award-winning Brooklyn firm, STUDIO 397 Architecture. This is a fascinating and informative discussion about climate change, resilience, mitigation, efficiency, affordability, health, wellness, and of course, design. Tune in today.
