Post-Occupancy Evaluations in Passive House Multi-Unit Residential Buildings.

Post-Occupancy Evaluations in Passive House Multi-Unit Residential Buildings.

This project evaluates the post-occupancy performance of two multi-unit residential buildings (MURBs): one which was newly constructed to the Passive House standard and one which was retrofit to EnerPhit Standard.
