Greenport Passive House

Built on a half-acre lot in Greenport, New York, the 2,300 sq. ft. single-family home features superior energy performance, healthy indoor air, unparalleled comfort, and generous amenities. The building is oriented for southern exposure with an upside down layout that captures natural light and passive solar gain in the upstairs living area. Alignment with the Passive House standard means an ultra-tight building envelope with meticulous airsealing for all openings, continuous insulation, triple-glazed windows, and high-efficiency heating, cooling, ventilation, and domestic hot water systems.
