Passive House Technology & Commercial Retrofitting

Presenter: Ted Sheridan, AIA, ASA, CPHD, LEED AP, Partner Ryall Sheridan Architects

Overview: New York’s “80 x 50” plan, which requires involved countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80 percent by 2050, is a program that informs how end-users make energy consumption choices and depends on them increasing their use of non-fossil fuel / renewable energy sources.  The clearest path to achieving this goal is to rapidly retrofit a majority of New York City buildings to the Passive House standard—radically reducing the amount of energy they require for heating and cooling.  A case study Passive House, LEED Gold commercial retrofit in Brooklyn will be presented.
