TO4 3.1.3: Brookfield Homes Short-Term Results TO5 3.1.3: Brookfield Passive House Monitoring To further define its market position on high performance homebuilding, Brookfield worked with IBACOS and the Building America program to design and construct a Passive House (PH) certified model home in Denver, CO to evaluate advanced building technologies and to use as a marketing tool for potential homebuyers. Brookfield used a new architect and a new floor plan as a standard production model and constructed it to the PH standard as an upgrade option. This PH was completely built and certified in August 2013.
