Carbon Sequestering: Synthesizing Passive House and Healthy Materials

  In Person at: Parsons School of Design: Alvin Johnson/J.M. Kaplan Hall   Passive House approach to operational energy with challenges of addressing upfront embodied carbon, as a key combination to address in approaching carbon-zero buildings. ​​To move our construction into a carbon-neutral environment it is essential to address the operational energy through Passive House performance together with the upfront embodied carbon through an integrated and methodical approach. The symposium…
