Retrofitting Passive House – the Balancing Act Between Operational and Embodied Carbon with Ruth Mandl, CO Adaptive (Yestermorrow Fall Speaker Series) Based in Brooklyn, NY, CO Adaptive is a full service architecture and building practice. We are an experimental testing ground for new construction technologies, material assemblies, and creative solutions to our clients’ challenges. Join CO Adaptive’s co-founder and principal Ruth Mandl, to discuss some of their recent small-scale, multifamily renovation and retrofit projects in New York City. This talk is presented as part of our Fall 2025 Speaker Series. All talks are free and open to the public, and take place Wednesday evenings from 6:30 – 8 pm. No registration required, just drop by. Twice a year, we curate a series of lectures on a design/build theme. This Fall we are tackling part two of our “Innovative Homes” series, this time focusing in on multi-family homes. We’ll discuss different ways cities and towns are approaching sustainable housing development and affordability through case studies of unique living spaces.
