277: Transforming Multifamily Housing: Lessons from Cycle Architecture + Planning
About this episode
In this episode of The Passive House Podcast, Jay Fox speaks with Tony Daniels and Caitlin Matusewicz of Cycle Architecture + Planning about their backgrounds in high-performance design and the firm’s focus on scalable multifamily deep energy retrofits, resilience, and Passive House. The conversation covers why retrofits are harder than new construction and how Cycle aims to scale by starting with repeatable retrofit solutions. They discuss panelized overcladding and modular mechanical strategies, NYSERDA’s role via incentives and innovation programs, and broader barriers such as contracting and insurance models that enforce siloing.
