Passive House Featured in New York Times

Herb Swanson for The New York Times

Above the fold in today's Sunday Business section, Can We Build in a Brighter Shade of Green? by Tom Zeller Jr., does a wonderful job of describing the significance of Passive House construction and its rigorousness.   It is especially gratifying because the featured project, a single family home in Norwich Vermont is the product of Zero Energy Design, an engineering and architecture firm located in Boston and New York and whose partner, Jordan Goldman, is an active NYPH member.   The article also has a wonderful set of graphics titled The Secrets of a Passive House, explaining some of the more esoteric aspects of the approach.   Along with a fun video interviewing the family and showing the shell construction.  This NY Times contribution to Americans' understanding of Passive House cannot be overstated.   Enjoy.
