· Building orientation (townhouse atriums) towards South
· Thick insulation (R=20 in walls and R=40 in roof)
· High efficiency window and doors (double glazing with argon gas)
· There is no mechanical air conditioning in the building. Instead, Mph uses “European” shutter blinds and the innovative use of cross-ventilation, as well as strategic placement of common passageways to allow for passive heating or cooling.
