PHN Presents: PHI – LEB Multifamily
Demystifying Low Energy Buildings
Dylan Martello of Steven Winter Associates walks us through the ins and outs of his thinking when approaching multifamily buildings and how the PHI Low Energy Building certification can be a useful tool in optimizing performance in certain situations. We’ll look at cooling and heating demand, airtightness, and ventilation. Among many interesting nuances, we’ll see how a more relaxed airtightness number still requires a push toward 0.6 ach50. Get the rundown, ask questions, and see how PHI-LEB might support your efforts to make exemplary buildings.
