      Agreed. The label "Passivhaus" was first coined by building physicists in the 90s, and at least since the late 00s folks have pointed out its weakness as a marketing label, given the connotation of "passive" in English. Phius (formerly the Passive House Institute US) has made the move to brand their certified buildings as "Phius" rather than "Passive House", partly recognizing this issue. What would you rebrand "Passive House" as, if you could wave a magic wand?

How will the brick dry out? Philly is a pretty cold wet place. There's a freeze thaw cycle. I think you're trapping moisture inside the masonry and 20-30 years from now, that wall will deteriorate.

If buildings can be done at a price most can afford, there is hope for the future. I would have liked to see some of the units. The windows seems small but if the orientation of the sun is taken into account natural light can still flood the spaces. Natural light is handy when the power goes out.
