Control Paradigms for Non-Residential Passive House Buildings (Free for PHCA Members)

Non-residential buildings are equipped with a number of technical systems for various applications. Conventional building automation paradigms often perform less than ideal in Passive House buildings, and problems are found out late in the process: In the commissioning phase or as a response to feedback from post-occupancy monitoring. By then, it is usually too late to make fundamental changes, such as reprogramming the controller’s logic. How can we deliver coherent and robust controls so that individual functions such as ventilation, cooling, and shading can interact effectively?

The webinar will dive into these questions and more and will offer a chance to ask questions in the Q&A section after the presentation.

Our speakers, Kristin Bräunlich and Wolfgang Hasper from the Passive House Institute, will explore control strategies for non-residential Passive House buildings.
