Passive House
The proposed development continues our dedication to building attractive, attainable, healthy, and energy efficient housing that enriches the neighborhood context. To aid in that objective, the team has committed to attaining Passive House certification for this project. This requires careful attention to every design decision and balancing the need to successfully integrate the building into the public realm with creating an efficient and durable building envelope. The Passive House certification also helps fulfill two urgent needs: reducing energy costs to create housing that people can afford to live in, and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to help address the climate crisis facing the world.
Healthy Materials
The project team would also like to take advantage of Seattle’s Priority Green Expedited program which further mandates Low VOC materials, the use of products with no added urea formaldehyde, measures which will enhance the health and comfort of the building occupants.
