Skylight.NYC’s latest editorial coverage spotlights the rapid growth and impact of the passive house movement across New York City, positioning it as a central strategy for delivering high-performance, low-carbon, and resilient housing. In Edition 12, the publication highlights both new construction and retrofit projects that demonstrate how passive house principles are being successfully applied at scale—including in affordable housing—while significantly reducing energy use and improving occupant comfort.

The feature prominently includes leaders from the New York Passive House (NYPH) community and its network of members and sponsors, such as RiseBoro Community Partnership’s Josh Shaffer (NYPH Board Director), Ingui Architecture’s Michael Ingui (Gold Sponsor), Curtis + Ginsberg Architect's Sean Flynn (Sponsor and Member) and NYPH Executive Director Carmel Pratt, among others. Their perspectives underscore a broader industry shift: passive house is no longer seen as a premium niche, but as a cost-effective, scalable standard increasingly adopted in large multifamily and community-focused developments.

By elevating these voices and projects, Skylight.NYC reinforces the role of passive house as a transformative force in New York’s built environment—advancing climate goals, housing equity, and long-term building performance.
