架构师提供的文本描述。泰格豪斯是纽约第一家获得认证的被动式住宅，也代表着下一波超越美国大多数住宅的住宅生活浪潮。这座改造过的排屋最初建于1899年，但在2012年进行了大幅升级-一百一十三年后-与标准住宅相比，供暖能耗减少了90%，总能耗减少了75%。

Text description provided by the architects. Tighthouse is the first certified Passive House in NYC and represents the next wave of residential living that out-performs the vast majority of homes in the US. This retrofitted row home originally built in 1899 but substantially upgraded in 2012--one hundred-thirteen years later--performs with 90% less heating energy and 75% less energy use overall compared to the standard home.

一个持续的绝缘和增加的气密性确保建筑物保持其热或冷-取决于季节。一个高效的通风系统，HRV，不断运行，以提供新鲜空气，使这个家庭舒适。一个人的碳足迹不仅大大减少，而且房主的水电费极低，而且没有煤气服务。改造增加了一个新的后立面，3楼，屋顶露台加上一个双高的艺术工作室在最低水平。

A continuous envelope of insulation and increased air tightness assure that the building retains its heat or cool--depending on the season. A highly efficient ventilation system, HRV, constantly runs to provide fresh air to make this home comfortable. One's carbon footprint is not only greatly reduced but the home owner utility bills are extremely low and there is no gas service. The retrofit adds a new rear facade, 3rd floor, roof terrace plus features a double-height art studio at the lowest level.

该房屋包括太阳能热水和太阳能光伏电池板，帮助提供现场能源后，被动住宅设计已经大大减少了能源需求(因此，减少太阳能电池板所需的！)Tighhouse正在受到监控，以便更多地了解它的表现，并使我们能够努力改进它和未来的被动房屋项目。到目前为止，30%的家庭能源使用是由现场太阳能电池板提供的。

The house includes solar thermal for hot water and solar photovoltaic panels that help to supply site energy to the home after the Passive House design has already greatly minimized the energy requirements (so fewer solar panels required!). Tighthouse is being monitored to learn more about its performance and enables us to work to improve it and future Passive House projects. So far 30% of the home’s energy usage is provided by the solar panels on site.
