Catskills Passive House
Saugerties, New York
Description
Designed according to the Passive House Institute’s strict insulation and energy efficiency standards, the home consists of only the healthiest materials since off-gassing is extremely harmful in a tightly sealed building. The house runs exclusively on electricity, which is powered mostly by a solar panel array. Read more about this home in this Dwell article.
