New York Passive House

What New York Passive House does

New York Passive House, Inc. (NYPH) is a non-profit trade organization founded in 2010 and headquartered at 276 5th Avenue, New York. It is the pioneering Passive House trade organization in North America, operating a membership-based platform that drives adoption of Passive House building science through collaborative advocacy, policy shaping, research advancement, education delivery, and professional networking. The organization serves architects, engineers, consultants, sustainability professionals, and emerging next-generation practitioners working on high-performance, energy-efficient buildings in New York and beyond.

NYPH's product portfolio functions as an integrated ecosystem for its professional members. Core offerings include a Business Directory and Individual Professional Member Directory, a Jobs Board, a Webinar Hub, Online Courses (including a Passive House Primer Program), a Product Showcase, a Case Study Library, and the annual Regenerative Metropolis Symposium. Content and community channels include the City Shapers podcast, the NextGen Community (launched in 2025), committees and working groups, and advocacy reports. Underlying technology is conventional web and member-portal infrastructure hosted on the GrowthZone association management platform; the differentiated asset is the curated community, content library, and convening power rather than proprietary software.

The business model is a hybrid of recurring and transactional revenue. Recurring streams comprise individual and organizational membership dues and tiered corporate sponsorships (Gold, Silver, Bronze) underwritten by building materials manufacturers and architecture firms. Transactional and event-based streams comprise education programs (online courses, webinars, continued education) and the annual Regenerative Metropolis symposium. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors with day-to-day operations led by Executive Director Carmel Pratt, Deputy Director Vicki Yee, Co-Founder/Strategic Advisor Andreas Benzing, and Managing Associate Emma Baron.
