Weather report for Pittsburgh.... a “cold” front is moving in today... where at you ask!? Here’s a hint! Stay tuned for install photos! #IceBoxChallengePgh

[IceBoxChallenge @iceboxchallenge]

Alright stop, collaborate and listen. Ice (Box) is back with my brand new location 🎶❄️ Where do you think the Ice Boxes are heading next? Any guesses? #iceboxchallengeeastcoast

[Science NetLinks @ScienceNetLinks]

A public science experiment in D.C. tested the energy efficiency of a conventional building structure and a passive solar building structure. How much ice would remain in each building after 2 weeks? The #IceBoxChallengeDC results: https://t.co/FGEmLiwRAl @iceboxchallenge

[Golden Triangle BID @GoldenTriDC]

There was a clear @iceboxchallenge winner today in Farragut Square! The Passive Housing box had near double the amount of ice left over than the one built to normal building codes with 838 lbs leftover from the original 1,800 lbs.

[Irina Markina @IrinaMarkinaEU]

It’s been two exciting weeks @EUintheUS as hundrends if not thousands took the #IceBoxChallengeDC guessing how much ice will be left in two buildings: 1st built to regular building code, 2nd to #passivehousedc standard. #EnergyEfficiency - key way of delivering on #ParisAgreement

[IceBoxChallenge @iceboxchallenge]

We think the loser of today’s #IceBoxChallengeDC is clear... so clear you can see right through it!
The Passive House Box wins again!

Thanks to our partners @EUintheUS @BelgiumintheUSA @GoldenTriDC @NK_Arch and sponsors @rockwoolna @SIGA_USA @CascadiaWindows & @theCruxHomes

[Golden Triangle BID @GoldenTriDC]

There is still time to take a guess at how much ice will be left in each house in the @iceboxchallenge! Visit the house through Thursday evening then swing by Friday at 12:30 pm for the big reveal... https://t.co/ZU0XphU2QF

[Free in DC @FreeinDCBlog]

Tomorrow! Join @GoldenTriDC in the park Friday 7/20 for #FarragutFridays! From noon-2 pm you can connect with folks from @IntlSpyMuseum, @NatGeoMuseum & @Xfinity and at 12:30pm you can learn how much is is left in the @iceboxchallenge at the big reveal. https://t.co/ECTTBgY7NL

Why doesn’t the Passive House Box need to turn on the air conditioning?

Because it’s not a “fan” 😂😂 AND because it’s air tight thanks to @SIGA_USA air sealing tapes!

[IceBoxChallenge @iceboxchallenge]

Whoa! Thanks for not giving us the cold shoulder, DC 🤗 We’ve been ecstatic to call DC home these past 2 weeks.

There’s sill time to take the challenge! https://t.co/7krVh6ntfO

[NK Architects @NK_Arch]

@GoldenTriDC tells us that, according to location analytics at #FarragutSquare (tracking how many WiFi-enabled cell phones pass by), foot traffic at #IceBoxChallengeDC will total OVER 300,000 pedestrians between July 7 and the Ice Reveal event tomorrow. Go #PassiveHouse!

[Golden Triangle BID @GoldenTriDC]

Join us tomorrow in Farragut Square for the @iceboxchallenge reveal at 12:30 p.m. We will be joined by the @BelgiumintheUSA @EUintheUS @DOEE_DC & NK Architects to unveil how much ice is left after two weeks in the scorching DC sun. https://t.co/ZU0XphU2QF

[IceBoxChallenge @iceboxchallenge]

Now.. that would be cool 😉

[IceBoxChallenge @iceboxchallenge]

There’s nothing more chill than an architecture firm taking on #BuildingAsClimateAction. Thank you to our presenter, @NK_Arch, for being cooler than ice 👍🏻❄️

[IceBoxChallenge @iceboxchallenge]

Why did the Code Box finally decide to retrofit?

Because it was sick of being
ICE-olated by Passive House Box visitors 😂😂
