- Passive Pads is a series that shows Passive House from the homeowner's perspective. This week, we visit the home of NYC-based Passive House Architect, Michael Ingui. Designed with sustainability in mind, this PHI-certified Passive House retrofit features energy-efficient technologies that drastically reduce energy consumption and carbon footprint. With its clever use of natural light, superior insulation, and advanced ventilation systems, this home is a masterpiece of modern architecture that not only looks beautiful but is also kind to the environment. Join us as we explore the stunning features of this Brooklyn townhouse, from its sleek design to its high-tech energy-saving systems. We'll take you on a room-by-room tour, showing you how the passive house approach has been integrated into every aspect of the home's design.

Beautifully done !
Beautiful home! Really nice video.
Beautiful home! I love that Michael shared some of the technical details that he's proud of. These videos often don't include much of that, so more please! …also, love the material reuse!
Great, and wonderful to have you start this series. Beautiful home. Having architects/designers agree is more unusual than usual. Thanks for your investment in the future.
This just made me happy. Seeing your amazing work, your beautiful house, and the love and joy you share with your wife was the highlight of my day. Thank you!
Very interesting info esp about the water heating. Would love to learn more. Thank you for sharing. What type of tree is that in the kitchen area by the way?
I didn't think passive was possible in Brooklyn. You've proved me wrong
Passive is THRIVING in Brooklyn. Stay tuned to learn more :)
@@alexwitek1025since when are passive homes a real thing in the US? Has it become popular in the last 3 years or so?
Very nice! I love the openness and daylight you achieved in such a narrow space.
How do you deal with kitchen smoke, odors, & airborne grease without an exhaust hood? Code let you omit that?
And that stair with the hand-carved rail! Sweet!
What brand is that induction cooktop? It looks like it’s a slide in range, but I’ve never seen one designed like that. I love the way the glass sits over the countertop.
Great video. Beautiful house, but I would love to lnow more about the process of insulating and making the house air tight. I own a very not air tight brownstone in BK.
