NEW BOOK | “Passive House Buildings - California’s Energy Future”

PHCA, in collaboration with Low Carbon Productions has release the first book documenting the Passive House building pioneers working in California. The book presents 32 Passive House buildings located across California, including the first three in the Los Angeles Area.  It documents how the Passive House Standard is being utilized to meet the carbon reduction and climate change goals. This book demonstrates how the Passive House Standard provides a reliable and well-documented path to construct and renovate buildings to meet our State’s Net Zero Energy targets. More than ever the Passive House Standard is the way to design, build, and retrofit our buildings in California.

PARAVANT Architects is excited to be featured in the book “Passive House Buildings - California’s Energy Future” with a new ground-up passive house building in Los Angeles/CulverCity.

RESIDENTIAL REMODEL | CULVER CITY, CA

PARAVANT Architects has completed the remodel of a single family residence in Culver City, CA.  The design makes maximum use of limited space, allowing for the addition of a new bathroom, and a contemporary open kitchen and laundry area.  The home is equipped with LED energy efficient light fixtures, energy star appliances, and solar tubes to bring daylight deeper into the house, reducing the need for artificial lights during the day.  A whole house fan is used as a sustainable alternative to more traditional air-condition systems.  All interior and exterior finishes were updated and replaced during the remodeling process including a new roof, windows, attic insulation, crawl space insulation, stucco repair, bamboo flooring, tile work, and a cozy window seat with energy efficient glazing in the large picture window overlooking the redesigned garden.
