Re-Thinking the Box: Net Zero Energy Capable Housing

In 2016 OFA was asked to write an article about our work for an upcoming book entitled Energy Accounts.  Edited by two of my former professors at Penn State, Dan Willis and Katsuhiko Muramoto, the book showcases a wide range of work from architects committed to educating other design, engineering and construction professionals about the importance of “energy production, use and conservation in a manner sufficiently convincing to influence policy, behavior and design” of the built environment.  OFA took the opportunity to reflect on the first 15 years of our evolving practice as it related to sustainability, prefabrication and Passive House projects.   Download the full chapter HERE.
