This case study explores the intersection of high-performance design based on Passive House, affordability, and constructability in a pro-bono project for a local non-profit.
MSR Design agreed to design the homes pro bono if GAP would target Net-Zero energy to make homeownership more affordable over time and teach students best practices in construction. MSR Design recruited AKF and BKBM to provide engineering, and many material suppliers have donated or deeply discounted construction materials. USGBC and several others volunteered to guide LEED for Homes certification. Register now.
