Passive House Retrofit Details will equip architects with information critical to understanding and undertaking these complex projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book presents 26 case studies of successful retrofit projects in North America, focusing on key technical details and lessons learned during the retrofit process. Projects showcase a range of retrofit strategies for common building types, including urban brownstones, brick rowhouses, wood-frame triple-deckers, multifamily towers, and suburban ranch homes. Case studies from diverse cities and climates, including New York, Boston, Toronto, San Francisco, and Calgary, are examined using full-page illustrations of architectural details, technical descriptions, and narratives exploring the unique concerns and challenges of each project such as constructability, phasing, financing, and preservation. A roundtable discussion with leading practitioners explores the challenges and opportunities of Passive House retrofits and identifies the measures and innovations needed to advance this work at scale. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book will be a crucial resource for architects working on retrofit projects and upper-level students of architecture, construction and building science.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGabrielle Brainard\u003c\/b\u003e is an architect specializing in the design of high-performance enclosures for new and existing buildings.
