Join NAPHN and NYPH on July 31st from 9am-12pm at Building Energy Exchange for Passive House Ventilation: Fundamentals and Lessons Learned. The event will discuss energy efficient ventilation as a key component of every Passive House project. Application of energy recovery ventilation in multifamily residential projects is the new norm. To date, however, few projects have actually been commissioned.
Learn more about the basics of energy recovery ventilation in Passive House projects and crucial lessons learned from the recently commissioned Hanac Corona project in Queens. Hear perspectives from both the manufacturer and the Passive House Consultant. Understanding and controlling energy efficiency ventilation impacts our built environment can help reduce building carbon footprint. Join us and discover new lessons to be applied to your projects.
