IceBoxChallenge | NYC
10 years after the Brussels one, this new challenge intend to demonstrate the performance ( with no energy added) of an highly efficient envelope.
The #IceBoxChallengeNYC is a contest and an experiment to demonstrate how a home can be super energy efficient AND comfortable. The Ice Boxes are left outside in the sun for a month. When they are opened, the amount of ice left in each box will be measured. How much ice is left shows how well each Ice Box keeps out the summer heat. Better building design can help us reduce our carbon pollution without changing our behavior. Energy-efficient homes are comfortable, quiet, and healthy.
Take the #IceBoxChallengeNYC and discover the benefits of high performance building and construction. Great prizes to be won!
