ZED’s Acton Passive House was a winner in the Source Zero Category of the 2022 Phius Passive Projects Design Competition. To even be considered, projects had to be Passive House Certified by Phius, and competed against the best of the best in passive design. In addition to being PHIUS+ 2018 Certified, the Acton Passive House also attained Source Zero certification, an additional designation indicating that the home produces any remainder of energy demand with on-site renewable energy.
The Source Zero category was one of 8 medals awarded at ‘PhiusCon’ 2022, held in Chicago’s historic Palmer House Hotel. This recognition is testament to the Acton Passive House’s incredible performance. With rooftop solar panels, the home is projected to produce more energy than it uses over the course of a year, making it net positive energy as reflected in the negative pEUI (-3.81kBtu/sf/yr).
The 8th Annual Phius Passive Projects Design Competition Awards Ceremony recognized a winner and honorable mention in each category, with submissions from throughout the United States and Canada. Categories were: Single-Family, High-Rise Multifamily, Low-Rise Multifamily, Commercial/Institutional, Retrofit, Source Zero, Best Project by a Young Professional, and Best Overall Project. All awardees pushed the boundaries of passive building design.
