203: Buildings Can Take Care of Us


Listen Later

In this episode of the Passive House Accelerator Podcast, Nathan St. Germain, founder of Studio St. Germain discusses his firm’s philosophy of “building to give back." Nathan explores the concept of aging in place and how Passive House design can create a therapeutic, livable environment for people as they age. He highlights his work on the Wilkinsburg Passive House project, where the focus on air quality, energy efficiency, and livability supports the health and dignity of the occupants. The episode delves into the fusion of universal design with Passive House principles and how data-driven design can improve indoor environments for everyone.
