Project Description: | About Passive House Los Angeles (PHLA+) | Culver City, California | "Passive House Plus" Certification Located in Culver City, a bustling suburb in west Los Angeles, near LAX, Marina Del Rey, the beach cities of Santa Monica, Malibu and close to Beverly Hills, Passive House LA is the first newly built certified "Passive House Plus” in Los Angeles and among the first Passive Houses built in Southern California.
Passive House LA is a project designed by PARAVANT Architects, and is strategically planned to showcase the back-end technologies and benefits of the Internatioal Passive House Standard, including home comfort, health, extremely high efficient energy use, and sustainable building practices. Additionally, Passive house LA is a Zero Net Energy (ZNE) Home.. Passive House LA is located on a duplex lot, infill site and is comprised of 1,750 Sq. Ft. of living area with an additional large deck area over the carport. Large windows provide sufficient natural light and a connection between indoor and outdoor living even with this home’s limited footprint. Exterior fully automated venetian blinds reduce UV, heat, and glare, effectively keeping the house cooler and comfortable. The entire building envelope including the windows, wall systems and insulation are combined to produce bottom line, significant energy cost savings not possible with conventional building practices. The goal of healthy indoor air quality is met by using a highly efficient heat-recovery ventilator (HRV). Water conservation is achieved with a motion-activated hot water delivery system. A ~5.4kW (5,360 watts) photovoltaic system with a storage battery in combination with a heat pump water heater, makes this home net zero - or possibly plus - energy, reducing the utility bills for a lifetime.
