The Fossil-Fuel-Free House: A Passive House Tour
September 17 @ 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm
What does a home without fossil fuels look like?
Join Solo Real Estate and Green Philly on Thursday, September 17 from 6 PM – 7:30 PM for this exclusive behind-the-scenes look at Passive George, an all-electric, net-zero energy residential development taking shape in Philadelphia.
This construction-site tour led by architect Jeremy Avellino of Bright Common and Alejandro Franqui of Solo Real Estate will explore the project before the finishing touches go in. See how Passive House strategies, including a high-performance building envelope, advanced air sealing and insulation, and rooftop solar, come together.
Designed to pursue PHIUS certification, Passive George is projected to produce enough solar energy to offset 100% of its annual energy demand. You’ll learn what makes Passive House design different, how these strategies can create more comfortable and resilient homes, and what this project could teach us about the future of sustainable housing in Philly.
Location: 1931-1933 W. George St., Philadelphia
Space will be limited due to the active construction site. Additional safety and accessibility details will be shared with registered attendees.
