A Passive House is an environmentally responsible design standard that keeps apartments at a year-round comfortable temperature while minimizing energy consumption by effectively reducing traditional heating and cooling system loads. Through the design and implementation of a continuously insulated and airtight and thermal bridge free building envelope, including Triple Glazed Doors and Windows, and coupled with the use energy efficient appliances, a system of interior and exterior air exchange (HRV/ERV) retains conditioned temperatures within the units from inbound and outbound streams.
