PASSIVE HOUSE
255 Columbia’s Passive House design enables the building to be energy efficient, offers noise reduction and supplies a steady stream of fresh filtered air.
These constants are achieved by incorporating the following items into the building:
- Super insulation, air sealing and a reduction of thermal bridges that minimizes heat loss
- Highly efficient, triple-paned windows
- Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery
- Innovative and efficient heating and cooling technology
The Passive House concept represents today’s highest energy standard with the promise of significantly reducing the overall energy consumption of buildings, while maintaining an extremely comfortable and healthy living environment.
