Revision history [back]

cool project! A few additional questions in addition to Andrew's:

• Other locations for PV/Solar hot water? Parking?
• An upgrade up to passive house standards possible? Hot water, cooking, and dryers would then be the biggest load. See the new large passive house apartment building as part of Cornell Tech new campus: http://ny.curbed.com/2016/6/21/11990416/cornell-tech-passive-house-roosevelt-island-tour

Also be creative about integration of large PV into the roof, overhangs, and into the facade. Most of the urban net zero projects i've been following all do this: https://www.pinterest.com/shantipless/urban-net-zero-design/

Finally, the architecture at zero design competition from a few years ago had a lot of good multifamily net zero designs: http://www.architectureatzero.com/2015-ucsanfrancisco
