Dattner Architects Principal John Woelfling and Director of Sustainability Shefali Sanghvi presented “One Architecture Firm’s Journey to Passive House Expertise” at this year’s Greenbuild Conference in Philadelphia.
In 2016, Dattner Architects set out to explore the feasibility of integrating Passive House design with multi-family affordable housing. Over the next few years, the firm successfully designed and built four Phius-certified Passive House buildings, delivering nearly 1,000 affordable apartments. This work demonstrated that sustainability, good design, and affordability could coexist in multi-family housing.
Their presentation highlighted how these achievements have shaped sustainable practices in Dattner’s Housing studio and offered insights that can be applied by other practitioners and in future Dattner projects.
