Join us Tuesday, Nov. 9 at the Central Library for a lecture on Passive House Design with David Peabody, from 7:00 - 8:30 p.m.
The Passive House program represents today?s highest energy standard, with the promise of slashing building heating and cooling energy use by 90 percent. It is both a certification standard (like LEED) and an integrated approach to building design and construction. David Peabody, of Peabody Architects, will speak about the program and show photos of the first Passive house in the area!
For more information, contact Helen Reinecke-Wilt at [email protected] or 703-228-4792.
This event is co-sponsored by Arlington Department of Environmental Services.
