3CREN Introduction to the Passive House Standard, April 17
Event Description

Passive House goals and methodology change how architects and builders think and work, making the architectural design a driver of climate, health, and social solutions. This 2-hour course dives into the basic principles, history, certification, and the new frontiers of Passive House design as it continues to challenge and change industry expectations.

Learning Objectives:

  • Outline the five fundamental principles of Passive House design and how each principle contributes to the health, safety, and welfare of occupants.
  • Describe why and how hygienic ventilation is an essential defining component of Passive House design and operation. And outline how the Passive House design focuses on outstanding energy efficiency, which results in side benefits like great occupant thermal and acoustic comfort, improved occupant health outcomes, and economic affordability.
  • Outline the significant Passive House tools: PHPP, DesignPH, and Therm, and provide an overview of the tools correlating with data-driven design.
  • Describe common adjustments to the design and construction process to ensure international passive house standards are met through applicable case studies.
