Why is a passive house called passive? Instead of working harder to heat or cool a home with tons of leaks, passive houses do less work but accomplish way more. ✨

A crucial part of any passive house retrofit is balancing the temperatures of incoming and outgoing with energy recovery ventilators (ERVs). At the Casa Pasiva retrofit Bushwick, there wasn't room for traditional ERVs — so architects made their own. Read how they did it: bit.ly/4bjle5N
