Everyone deserves a clean, safe and healthy place to live. Newhouse Development is active in both building and supporting:
- High quality, energy efficient, and healthy affordable housing
- Sustainable and walkable neighborhoods
- Intelligent, transit oriented design, and
- Smart infill developments
Imagine the impact on the economy, the climate and our natural resources if we could create buildings and neighborhoods that last
longer, provide better indoor air quality and allow people to age in place, all while using an average of 80% less energy than normal.
Now imagine that we already know how to build better buildings and design better neighborhoods. You might be surprised to find out
that we already do. The answers are already here.
Newhouse Development is committed to having all of our new affordable housing projects designed, built and Certified as meeting the
Passive House Building Energy Standard, which provides better indoor air quality, much higher occupant comfort and 75-90% energy
savings. Whether you are a tenant or a building owner, it's easy to imagine the savings that will accumulate from using less energy,
having lower maintenance costs and higher satisfaction. It's also easy to envision the positive impacts on the environment and our
surroundings from buildings that are designed and built to be simply better.
We are also intent on adopting the principles of the Congress for the New Urbanism wherever and whenever we can. Walkable, mixed-
use neighborhoods, sustainable communities and healthier living conditions are always top of mind for us.
We are proud to partner with organizations like HUD, DOE, USGBC, NAHB, The City of Charleston SC, Habitat for Humanity, e-co lab,
Passive House Institute US and others to provide better places for people to live, work and play.
