Developers say Sendero Verde uses about half the energy of a comparable non-passive building thanks to insulation, sealing to prevent leakage, thick windows and ventilation.
The result: clean air, quiet interiors and stable temperatures – even if the power goes out. Spurred by both government incentives and mandates to build greener, such projects offer comfortable, healthy environments to residents often most vulnerable to the effects of a warming planet.
