Multifamily Passive House Design (presented by PG&E)
Passive House delivers healthy, quiet, and comfortable homes in durable buildings. Passive House also provides a baseline on which teams can craft resilient buildings capable of sheltering residents from storms and heat waves to come. In this course, we’ll cover a range of issues that go into planning, designing, and constructing affordable Passive House multifamily buildings. It’s a comprehensive overview, diving into key details, and demystifying the strategies for success.
Agenda:
- Multifamily milestones
- Critical early design considerations
- Ventilation and ventilation systems
- Cooling, shading, comfort, and optimization
- Enclosure assemblies
- Heat pumps and space conditioning strategies
- Domestic hot water
- Certification process
- Q&A
The objective of this course is that at the conclusion, participants will be able to:
- Outline common pitfalls in designing Passive House multifamily buildings
- Describe critical pathways, processes, and milestones in Passive House multifamily optimization
- Outline critical, multifamily components and systems and the sequence of consideration and integration
- Describe how well-established strategies are evolving and being successfully scaled
