Passive House Tour & Presentation at 475 High-Performance Building Supply

Join AIA Brooklyn's Committee on the Environment (COTE) for a guided tour of 475's Passive House-certified HQ office in Brooklyn, offering a firsthand look at how deep energy retrofits and modern design can come together to create comfortable, beautiful, and sustainable spaces.

See firsthand how 475’s own Brooklyn workspace puts Passive House principles into practice within an existing masonry building. The space showcases continuous insulation strategies, meticulous airtight detailing, and balanced ventilation with heat recovery. Featuring Lamilux triple-pane skylights that fill the office with natural light, Pro Clima air and vapor control membranes, and Brink energy recovery ventilation, it’s a living example of high-performance design in action.

Following the tour, the 475 team will dive deeper into retrofitting historic masonry buildings for high performance through a presentation that discusses lessons learned, enclosure detailing, and the evolving toolkit of products and design strategies enabling low-carbon renovations.
