KANSAS CITY, MO. — Arnold Development Group and Yarco Development are nearing completion of Second + Delaware, a 276-unit apartment community in Kansas City’s River Market district. The project will be the largest Passive House development in the world, according to the developers. Passive House means that the building uses 80 to 90 percent less energy than conventional buildings with a focus on indoor air quality. The Passive House Institute in Darmstadt, Germany, developed Passive House best practices. Whereas most multifamily buildings have double-glazed windows, Second + Delaware features triple-glazed windows. The extra glass layer, combined with a highly insulated frame, keeps the interior of the window within two degrees of the interior air temperature.
