The first snow is a good reminder of why Passive House matters. The Rock House stays comfortable even during outages thanks to an insulated, airtight envelope, triple-glazed windows, smart shading, natural ventilation, and a site strategy that protects against intense rain events.

Don't get Caught with a Bad Grade! NYCβs AβF Energy Grades make building performance publicβand with buildings creating ~70% of city emissions, every upgrade counts.
Lower energy use = lower bills + better comfort + real climate action.
ZH Architects can help you chart the smartest path forward.

Even small projects can drive sustainability. By preserving the original marble and over-cladding with durable, low-VOC Corian, we cut waste, reduced embodied carbon, and delivered a clean, contemporary transformation for this lobby. #SustainableDesign #LowCarbon

#PassiveHouse buildings can look similar to your regular, run of the mill buildings, however underneath their skin they distinguish themselves with a few key features

October means we are losing daylight & St. Johns Place is a perfect example to illustrate the concept of daylight design. An energy analysis allowed the calibration between the south facing windows and the solar shading required to achieve the #PassiveHouse standard.
