The 2100-sf residence committed to best practices in designing for climate resiliency and health. Completed in 2020, this Passive House certified home is a pilot project for the PHIUS 2018+ Source Zero standard and one of the first Passive House projects located in a hot, humid climate. It received the highest rating by Austin Energy Green Building to date, and consumes 75% less energy than a typical new home. Rigorous targets in energy efficiency, indoor air quality, thermal comfort, embodied carbon, and responsible materials sourcing enhance the project’s programmatic and aesthetic goals. The result is a resilient, healthy and relaxing home for a busy family – that is both energized by its urban setting and connected to nature and serenity. The project offers a path to engaging homebuilding with more mindfulness and persistence in climate action at this scale.
