The Sheward Partnership was commissioned to provide Sustainability, LEED, and Passive House Consulting Services for the renovation of an historic three story row home in Center City Philadelphia. This state-of-the-art home achieved LEED for Homes Platinum Certification and is aggressively targeting net zero energy use by adopting Passive House building principles. A high end environmentally friendly interior design is complemented by a deep energy retrofit including an air-tight, highly insulated envelope, energy recovery ventilation, triple pane windows, two high efficiency heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, and a solar-ready infrastructure for the future photovoltaic energy system.
