Join Green Building United’s Passive House Community for an on-site introduction to passive house design and construction through Rowhome 2.0—a market-rate certified passive house built on spec by Innova Services Corporation. This 100-level course is ideal for those new to passive house principles or curious about high-performance residential construction.
Beginners are welcome!
Architects from BluPath Design will join the Innova Services team to walk attendees through their nearly completed four-story, four-bedroom rowhouse project in South Philadelphia—complete with a roof deck. Together, they’ll cover the basics of passive house design and explore the real-world challenges of building to the Phius CORE 2021 standard in an urban rowhome context.
They’ll also share how their five guiding values shaped the project:
Extreme Energy Efficiency
Occupant Health
Low Extraction & Disposal
Maintainability
Repeatability
No hard hats required. This event will take place in South Philadelphia; the exact address will be shared in advance with registrants via email.
