North America's Largest Passive House at 425 Grand Concourse Nears Completion; See Photos

Encompassing 300,000-square-feet of space, the glistening tower will become the largest Passive House in the country when it opens in early 2022. Commendably, the building is expected to use 30 percent less energy than a building built through traditional construction methods. Aside from a highly-insulated, “airtight” envelope, there will be a vegetated roof deck, solar shading, solar panels, cogen power generation, and an energy recovery system, all resulting in reduced energy usage and lower utility bills.
