Manhattan is set to get its first residential building that measures up to passive house standards, a set of green guidelines that aim to cut heating costs by 90 percent through the use of solar energy, better insulation, and other measures. Developer Synapse Capital recently closed on a 9,900-square-foot lot at 542 West 153rd Street and has plans to construct a 40-unit passive building on the site.
