Event Description
Passive House is an enclosure-first approach that empowers architectural design to drive comfort, resilience, health, and efficiency outcomes. The Passive House enclosure is fundamental to overall building performance optimization. We’ll look at the elements of high-performance enclosure design and construction, the order of priorities, the strategies, systems, components, and details required. From cold to hot and humid climates, and across different construction types and building scales, we’ll look at how to deliver predictable results.
Learning Objectives
- Outline the priorities of enclosure performance.
- Describe major principles in enclosure design and optimization.
- Outline the systems, components, details, and strategies for successful Passive House enclosures.
- Describe strategies and steps to ensure the final built enclosure is successful.
