iPHA webinar: Project spotlight - Sendero Verde, NYC
| Date: 7 May 2025 | Time: 5pm BST |
| Location: Online | Cost: PHT members: Free, Non-members: 30 EUR |
Dive into the tallest Passivhaus building in the world with Dragos Arnautu from the Passive House Institute and Dylan Martello from Steven Winter Associates.
Sendero Verde, located in East Harlem, New York, stands as a groundbreaking model for sustainable urban living. Developed under the city's SustainNYC initiative, which champions high-quality, affordable housing, this innovative project consists of three mixed-use buildings.
At its core, Sendero Verde is a Passivhaus marvel — not only is it designed to meet rigorous energy-efficiency standards, but it also holds the distinction of being the tallest Passivhaus-certified building in the world. The development includes 709 affordable housing units integrating community resources such as educational facilities, commercial areas, green outdoor spaces, and support services operated by Union Settlement — one of New York City's oldest social service organizations.
Sendero Verde is more than just housing — it's a blueprint for resilient, sustainable, and inclusive urban communities.
