The R-951 Residence, located at 951 Pacific Avenue in Brooklyn, New York, is the first New York City building to receive both a Net Zero Capable Rating and a Passive House certification. While Passive Houses have become increasingly mainstream in countries like Germany, the United States has been slow to follow the worldwide trend of making homes more energy efficient. The introduction of R-951 Residence to the nation’s largest city shows that the U.S. is beginning to adopt these standards, which can be highly beneficial for residents and the environment.
