From the architect: The Keffer Passive House is Pike County, Pennsylvania’s first home designed to meet the Passive House standard. The house is a weekend family retreat for a retired couple from the New York metropolitan area. Located in a historic private forest preserve, the design had to respect the off site views from the road and lake. The site is densely wooded with excellent solar access to free energy and views of a pristine mountain lake.

来自建筑师：凯弗被动式房屋是派克县，宾夕法尼亚州的第一个住宅设计，以满足被动式住宅标准。这所房子是一对来自纽约大都会区的退休夫妇的周末家庭度假胜地。位于历史悠久的私人森林保护区，设计必须尊重场外景观，从道路和湖泊。该遗址密密麻麻，有极好的太阳能获取免费能源和一个原始的山湖景观。

The exterior is visually quiet and blends into the forested lakeside setting and community aesthetic standards. The interior is a modern, open plan with living spaces facing the lake on the south, and mechanicals systems occupying the north. An outdoor room with fireplace integrates indoor and outdoor living.

外观安静，融入森林湖畔环境和社区美学标准。内部是一个现代化、开放的平面，南面有面向湖泊的生活空间，机械系统占据了北方。室内与室外生活融为一体，配有壁炉的室外房间。

The surrounding forest is selectively pruned to provide filtered views to the lake, improved solar gain, and to allow natural light and air flow. The new home meets the rigorous Passive House standard ensuring the most comfortable and healthy indoor environment available. A future roof mounted PV solar system will make this home net zero energy.

周围的森林被有选择地修剪，为湖面提供过滤的景观，改善太阳的增益，并允许自然光和空气流动。新的家庭符合严格的被动式住宅标准，确保最舒适和健康的室内环境可用。未来屋顶安装的光伏太阳能系统将使这个家庭的净能源为零。
