About this Event
Paul A. Castrucci Architects and New York Passive House invite you to tour 702 Hancock, a 4-story residential building offering 8 spacious market-rate apartment units to Brooklyn’s Stuyvesant Heights neighborhood.
With 15 years of experience implementing Passive House strategies, PCA has found the most cost-effective solutions to meet Passive House requirements. During the tour, participants will have the opportunity to engage with members of the project team as they discuss the design strategies and energy-efficiency measures that define 702 Hancock.
This new construction encourages holistic health with expansive views and immediate access to outdoor spaces. Embracing a Passive House Design and Construction methodology, 702 prioritizes low energy use for maximum resilience and superior indoor air quality for optimal comfort. Learn how this project advances best practices by showcasing how cost-effective, resilient, low-carbon, and healthy buildings can be replicated across New York State.
