PASSIVE HOUSE FOR SUPERMARKETS: DECREASING ENERGY USE INCREASES PROFITS
Posted by jordan on Wednesday, November 18th AT 05:57:39 PM
It’s a little-known fact that supermarkets are the most energy-intensive of all commercial buildings, consuming more Btu’s per square foot than even hospitals. The main culprits here are the hordes of refrigerated display cases and the characteristic bright, uniform lighting.   Despite the recent popularity of pandemic essentials, supermarkets typically operate on razor-thin margins averaging only 2.2% across the industry.

PANDEMIC PASSIVE HOUSE: HOW WE SOLVED WORK FROM HOME
Posted by jordan on Thursday, October 29th AT 01:29:28 PM
Nobody expected to be spending so much time at home this year, but it's safe to say we all have a much keener appreciation of the positives and negatives of “living at the office” 24/7.    On the plus side, the commute is great! On the negative side, well… between juggling calls, keeping tabs on the kids, trying to find a quiet place to get some work done… it’s definitely been a challenge for most of us. When the “work day” is finally over, we have the added task of mentally and physically disconnecting from “work mode” and convincing ourselves to relax and ignore the ever increasing clutter in our homes.

PASSIVE HOUSE & LEED: WHY COMPROMISE WHEN YOU CAN HAVE THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS?
Posted by jordan on Tuesday, October 20th AT 03:45:40 PM
If your company is planning a LEED building or renovation project, learn how incorporating Passive House design can help you maximize sustainability, energy efficiency and worker comfort. The two systems both aim to create Green Buildings which are better for the environment and the people that occupy them, but they go about it in different ways. By meeting the requirements of both systems, you can ensure that your building is truly efficient and delivering the energy savings promised. So what are the two systems and their respective benefits and limitations?

STAYING WARM AND COZY THIS WINTER WITH A PASSIVE HOUSE
Posted by Visitor on Thursday, February 9th AT 01:53:34 PM
The weather has been very unpredictable this season. New York City has seen temperatures as high as 60°F one day, followed by a low of 26°F the next. This variation puts a lot of strain on typical heating systems, not to mention upending your wardrobe strategy.

We love all the projects we've been able to work on this year, and we wish all our supporters the best. We hope the holidays and the coming year will bring you an abundance of prosperity and success.    This giftwrap paper is a replica of the design we used for one of our latest projects, the Dwana Smallwood Performing Arts Centre. It was a wall mosaic tile in the changing rooms, and turned out pretty great! We're really proud of it!   Here's to a season filled with warmth, comfort and good cheer. We wish you all the best as we embark into the new year.   Happy Holidays!

HARLEY-DAVIDSON DEALERSHIP RE-DESIGN CHALLENGES
Posted by Visitor on Friday, January 15th AT 06:15:12 PM
Each Harley-Davidson renovation poses certain challenges, but can similarly can be seen as opportunities. We investigate how to respond to site conditions in a way that reflects the image of Harley-Davidson, while also remaining contextual. These ideas are unique to each project, and set up the approach to the design. One of our recent Harley-Davidson projects is located in a small rural town in Pennsylvania, in an existing building with unusual proportions. The showroom measures 500 feet in length by 40 feet in width. We take advantage of this span to naturally distribute the different programs linearly, while elements of the new architecture tie the scheme into a dynamic and cohesive design.

PASSIVE HOUSE IN BOERUM HILL
Posted by Visitor on Monday, January 11th AT 10:23:27 AM
In our third Boerum Hill townhouse renovation, we are applying Passive House principles to transform a derelict single-room occupancy townhouse into an energy-optimized machine for family living. The core principles of the Passive House standard are rather simple: insulation, air-tightness, and removal of thermal bridges.  In order to achieve this though, we must take our material specifications and weather-proofing details very seriously, and the contractors must exercise the utmost care in creating a building envelope that can pass the blower door test, which quantifies the house’s performance in terms of air change frequency.
