Tour a Passive House Historic Renovation in New Haven, CT, September 6, 1-5 pm
Event Description
Join NESEA for a Pro Tour of a recently renovated historic building in New Haven, CT! During this event, attendees will learn how the project team transformed this building, originally a hotel from 1816, into a Passive House-certified commercial space while preserving its historic facade and place in the community.
The tour will begin with an opening presentation from the hosting team at Patriquin Architects, which will give attendees background on the historic significance of the building, the process of renovating it, and the efforts put into reaching the Passive House standard. After the opening presentation, we'll split into groups to hear from the professionals behind the project, who will share their specific work. After the tour, we'll host a reception and Q&A with the team.
Key components of the design include a highly-insulated and airtight envelope, the use of triple-pane high-performance windows on the interior of the existing historic windows, new electric ERV heat pump systems for ventilation, heating, and cooling, and a solar array on the roof.
