🚫 #MythBusted: The Passive House Standard can be applied also to retrofits! Retrofitting existing buildings with Passive House principles can drastically improve #EnergyEfficiency, comfort, and durability. By applying these methods, retrofitted buildings can achieve up to a 90% reduction in energy consumption and carbon emissions. EnerPHit, the Passive House Standard for retrofits, ensures high-performance sustainability in existing buildings—proving that sustainability and retrofit can go hand in hand!

Great news from iPHA Affiliate Passive House California (PHCA)! A groundbreaking bill, AB 368, has been introduced in the California State Legislature to establish Passive House certification as an alternative compliance pathway to Title 24. This marks a significant step toward advancing high-performance, energy-efficient buildings statewide. This legislation presents a crucial opportunity to expand #PassiveHouse standards across California. Thank you for helping remove barriers to Passive House for Californians.

How can architecture meet the needs of vulnerable senior citizens in one of the world's busiest cities? The Betances Residence in the Bronx, NYC, is an inspiring example. The #PassiveHouse-certified Betances Residence provides safe, supportive housing for homeless or at-risk seniors in a thriving Hispanic community, featuring two eight-storey towers with 152 units and 10,000 sq ft of community space while setting a new standard for #EnergyEfficiency, comfort, and air quality through Passive House principles that prioritize sustainability and residents' well-being.

Great news from the UK! This is a fantastic example of how deep retrofits can be successfully achieved using the #PassiveHouse Standard. Congratulations to the project teams on this achievement! 👏 #EnerPHit
The Entopia Building has won the Building Performance Champion award and was also named the Project of the Year in Retrofit Workplaces category at the CIBSE #buildingperformanceawards 2025! The judging panel described the whole-life building performance of Entopia as exceptional and Architype are thrilled to have achieved our 7th CIBSE BPA for radically lower energy Passivhaus projects. The award submission was joint between Max Fordham LLP, BDP (Building Design Partnership Ltd) and Architype. The Entopia Building, is the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL) headquarters, it's in-use energy performance is truly amazing and demonstrates how deep green retrofit can be delivered successfully. It has achieved an 87% energy reduction, through a holistic fabric-first approach, and is in line with achieving the reductions required to meet the UK NZCBS 2050 energy and embodied carbon targets. The project achieved EnerPHit certification and is on target to achieve BREEAM Outstanding and WELL Gold which we believe is a world first. With thanks to our many excellent collaborators including John French, Wendy Bishop, Peter Kelly, Anna Nitch-Smith, 3pm Project Management, Eve Waldron Design, Feilden+Mawson, BDP (Building Design Partnership Ltd), Max Fordham LLP, Envision Energy, Gardiner & Theobald LLP, MEAD Consulting Ltd, Cambridge Architectural Research and multiple other supply partners. It shows what is possible when high aspirations are set from the outset and championed by all involved. Find out more: https://lnkd.in/eKnrzmqx 📷 - Jack Hobhouse and SOLK Photography
