The main feature of a "passive house" is its low energy consumption achieved through the use of passive energy-saving methods.
Passive houses efficiently harness sunlight (architectural principles of insolation), internal heat sources, and heat recovery, making traditional heating systems unnecessary even during cold winters.
The skyscraper will reach a height of 220 meters and will house 583 apartments. It will become the second tallest building in Brooklyn and the tallest "passive house" in the world.
