Building Tour: The Distillery in South Boston Passive House January 31, 2019
Event Description
In South Boston, there is an old rum distillery retro-fitted to be a Passive House. The Distillery North is now leasing 1-2 bedroom and studio apartments. Join USGBC MA for a behind the scenes presentation about the architectural features of the space, as well as a tour of the location.
Features include:
The challenge of the project was how to make PH construction– which would meet certification, with 90 – 95% reduction in thermal energy requirements. Overcoming this problem involved innovative design, sourcing, construction methods, and sequencing, as well as education of the General Contractor and strict oversight.
