With a skillful combination of design, craft, and technology, the Hudson Passive Project demonstrates the energy-saving potential of residential architecture.
The Hudson Passive Project is an energy conservation project, a prototype home-of-tomorrow that demonstrates the energy-saving potential of residential architecture. The house was designed by Dennis Wedlick Architect LLC, built by Bill Stratton Building Company, and realized with the support of NYSERDA. Located in the beautiful Hudson Valley, about two hours north of New York City, the Hudson Passive Project is the first certified passive house in New York State and among the highest performing homes in the world.
What is a passive house? The passive house standard embodies today's highest benchmark for energy efficiency and conservation. A cutting-edge approach to design and construction, the passive house standard drastically reduces the amount of energy required to operate a building (for instance, it results in a 90% reduction in energy required for heating). Originally developed in Germany, the passive house energy standard is being implemented with ever-greater frequency in the United States.
