A Queens Home Gets an Energy-Efficient Makeover

CO Adaptive, a Brooklyn studio, has renovated a terraced house in Queens, New York, to meet Passive House energy efficiency standards.

This 1,152-square-foot home, originally built in 1945, underwent a careful deconstruction process during its renovation.

The project prioritized reusing and recycling materials, with the goal of making the home energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.

CO Adaptive believes that building to Passive House standards is crucial for creating resilient cities, especially when renovating older buildings.
