Overview: A retrofit and a new build, in NYC and Dublin, demonstrate the performance-defining new expectations and value.
Presentation 1:
Passive House Performance: 1,500 Sensors in Social Housing Scheme
Presenting: Tomás O’Leary, Mosart
The ability of Passive House to avoid a ‘Performance Gap’ – when the results fall short of expectations, as is often the case in conventional green building – is well known, but project data is typically not publicly available. Here, we make the evidence public by examining a social housing project in Dublin, Ireland, where thousands of PHI-certified units are underway. Go on the journey of project delivery, data collection, and how we can be certain to close the gap every time.
Presentation 2:
Decarbonization at Rubin Hall
Presenting: Cecil Scheib, New York University & Michael Syracuse, fxcollaborative
Built 100 years ago as a hotel, newly renovated to the EnerPHit standard, the 17-story Rubin Hall in New York City now houses 700 first-year NYU students. Goals included student comfort and wellness, as well as significant energy reductions and compliance with NYC’s carbon-emission regulations, Local Law 97. Get the resulting data and learn how the project team delivered the project, from construction details to systems commissioning, from the architect and the owner.
