This course is an in-depth look at basic strategies for delivering successful all-electric decarbonized Passive House apartment buildings that teams want to build, and families want to live in.
As we push to all-electric decarbonized multifamily buildings, designing to the Passive House Standard offers many benefits to building owners and occupants alike, from lower operating costs to greater durability, occupant comfort, indoor air quality, and storm resilience. This course is a comprehensive look at making Passive House multifamily buildings a reality, from theory to practice and completed examples.
The course will dive into all-electric multifamily design and construction as a Passive House process, producing affordable, high-quality results. Areas covered will include:
● Planning Milestones
● Efficient Multifamily Design
● Ventilation
● Glazing and Shading
● Wall Assemblies
● Thermal Bridges
