The property is the first class-A apartment community in the U.S. to be designed to Passive House standards, making it one of the most energy efficient buildings in the country. 42 West Broad St. will meet National Green Building standards and receive Energy Star certification. The property utilizes insulated concrete exterior walls and glazed, energy-efficient windows that will result in below market heating/cooling costs.
