As a certified Passive House project, this home comprises of a set of science-based design principles that lead to rigorous levels of energy efficiency, improved indoor environment, and enhanced thermal comfort.
  • Lakeview Passive House: This remodeling project, one of the first certified passive remodeled homes in the Chicago area. To achieve Passive House standards, the project uses triple-glazed windows and doors, mini-split mechanical systems, and an insulation system of dense-packed cellulose and rockwool. To achieve an net-zero energy use, a 10KW solar pv system was installed on the home.
