Built to Last: Passive House

June 11, New York City This one day event will demonstrate how Passive House

can help you make a New York that is built to last. Mayor Bill de Blasio’s policy to reduce city-wide carbon

emissions 80% by 2050 in his plan One City: Built to Last, has set the course for effective climate change mitigation and resilient adaptation.

Passive House is the one building standard that reliably and affordably delivers deep cuts in energy use proportionate to our climate challenge, while providing increased comfort, indoor health and climate resilience - including net zero and energy positive buildings.

If you’re a stakeholder in our low-energy building future find out how Passive House is being successfully implemented and ask questions that relate directly to your situation.

Basic Stats:

500 +/- participants (including architects & engineers, property developers & managers, policy officials & regulators.)

30 + vendor expo of leading specialized high-performance products and services

Accessible location at 125 West 18th Street, New York, NY

New Passive House certification standards

Confirmed Presentations Include: (more to be announced)

A Revolution in Retrofits: From Brussels to NYC, Sebastian Moreno-Vacca, A2M. The Story of Brussels' adoption of mandatory Passive House construction is as much about retrofits as it is new buildings. Learn how they are doing it in Brussels and then doing it right here in NYC's Meatpacking District.

Passive House Standards meet Positive Energy Building and step-by-step Retrofits: New paradigms in future proof building. Jessica Grove-Smith, Passive House Institute. Find out the details of the new certification standards for net-zero and energy positive buildings, including new primary energy calculation methodology, that are designed to allow your building optimization to have the best climate change mitigation potential.

Retrofitting Brownstone Brooklyn to Passive House. Michael Ingui, Baxt Ingui Architects. Cramer Silkworth, Baukraft & Passive House Academy. Kevin Brennan, Association for Energy Affordability. With a dozen Passive House retrofits complete or in progress, this presentation will show the methodology, details and results of this team's transformative efforts in historic New York.

University of Chicago Field Laboratory Building: Certified Passive House. Matthew O'Malia, GO Logic. High internal load buildings like laboratories pose specific challenges in reaching Passive House performance. Find out how this architect made it happen.

Passive House 2.0: It's the least we can do. Dieter Herz, Herz-Lang. Passive House is the new baseline for buildings. With Passive House performance in place we can economically fight climate change and deliver energy neutral and energy positive buildings. Real world examples will include a chain of hotels, big non-residential buildings and retrofits of existing buildings. See the assemblies, the systems and the results. Resiliency has never felt so good.

Policy, Passive House and a Resilient New York Future. Alex Wilson, Resilient Design Institute. Jessica Grove-Smith, Passive House Institute. Sebastian Moreno Vacca, A2M. Dieter Herz, Herz -Lang. Others to be announced. An exposition and discussion on the role Passive House can and should play in the meeting Mayor de Blasio's 80 x 50 carbon reduction goals and making a more resilient New York.
