Climate action, building by building. NK uses #passivhaus design to create healthy, #zerocarbon buildings that make economic sense. In Seattle & Pittsburgh.

Last night we celebrated with Cascade Built at the opening of Pax Futura, Seattle's first #PassiveHouse apartment building. Congrats to Jennifer and Sloan Ritchie!

15 local #WeAreStillIn businesses in Washington are endorsing a ballot initiative that, if passed, would make the Evergreen state the first in the nation to have a statewide price on carbon. Are you with them on fighting for climate action? https://t.co/GE5M2wzJkY #YesOn1631

Building design as technology means diminishing true cost. Buildings contribute to 1/3 of GHG's & other major quality of life factors. This is part of what drives us to design for our planetary health. #oneplanet https://t.co/ZvefVr0LM7 @NK_Arch @zacksemke

We need to do more to meet our climate goals and be a leader. Seattle can and should be number 1 in building stronger, healthier, climate-wise buildings--not #9. @ShiftZeroWA and our member orgs are ready to help!

We're ready, @MayorJenny! cc @SeattleOSE

“The beautiful thing about the #PassiveHouse ideology is that it can happen with any building of any scale,” NK's Brittany Porter​ tells @theregistryps.

Thank you to all the partners that worked to make the #iceboxchallengedc a success! @BelgiumintheUSA @DOEE_DC @NK_Arch @GoldenTriDC

[StateDptEcoDiplomacy @StateGDI]

Today @GoldenTriDC, @EUintheUS, @SustainDC, and @BelgiumintheUSA unveiled the results of the #IceBoxChallengeDC - Passive House had about twice as much ice left after two weeks in the sweltering DC heat as the regular house. Amazing how energy efficient buildings can be!

[NK Architects @NK_Arch]

#IceBoxChallengeDC came to an exciting close today, demonstrating the power of #PassiveHouse to #ActOnClimate. #WeAreStillIn!
