SUMMARY:Multifamily Passive House Design
DESCRIPTION:Part 7 of 9  \nPassive 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 the violent storms and extreme 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. \nAgenda: \n\nIntroduction and safety message\n\nMultifamily milestones\nCritical early design considerations\nVentilation and ventilation systems\nCooling\, shading\, comfort\, and optimization\nEnclosure assemblies\nHeat pumps and space conditioning strategies\nDomestic hot water\nCertification process\nQ&A\n\n\n\nThe objective of this course is that at the conclusion\, participants will be able to: \n\nOutline common pitfalls in designing Passive House multifamily buildings\nDescribe critical pathways\, processes\, and milestones in Passive House multifamily optimization\nRecall critical\, multifamily components and systems and the sequence of consideration and integration\nSummarize how well established strategies are evolving and being successfully scaled

SUMMARY:Passive House Enclosures
DESCRIPTION:Part 8 of 9  \nThis course dives deep into the focus of building enclosure design and construction looking at a range of enclosure construction types\, and climates. The course will look at topics of designing\, detailing\, sequencing\, building\, inspection\, reporting\, and testing of critical Passive House components and enclosure systems: insulation\, thermal bridge free connections\, airtightness\, windows and more. \nAgenda: \n\nIntroduction and safety message\nContext of Passive House\nThe work of enclosures\nEfficient design and high quality\nDetails\nExecution\n\nThe objective of this course is that at the conclusion\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe Passive House goals and methodology as they translate to enclosure assemblies\nOutline typical Passive House assembly buildups and connection details\nDescribe Passive House window installation details and testing to hit Passive House goals\nOutline quality assurance and quality control measures used to verify enclosure performance and reach certification

SUMMARY:Passive House Mechanical Systems
DESCRIPTION:Part 9 of 9  \nThis course dives deep into the focus of building mechanical systems with a particular focus on ventilation and hot water systems. Learn about the design and construction of a range of system types. The course will examine ventilation\, heating\, cooling\, and hot water topics of performance specifications\, coordination\, sequencing\, inspection\, testing\, and reporting. \nAgenda: \n\nIntroduction and safety message\nContext of Passive House and mechanical systems\nSystems strategy\nVentilation\nHeating and cooling\nDomestic hot water (DHW)\nOther systems and solar\nCase studies\n\nThe objective of this course is that at the conclusion\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe Passive House goals and methodology as they translate to mechanical systems\nOutline typical Passive House heating\, cooling\, ventilation and hot water systems\, focusing on the pros and cons of choices\nDescribe Passive House ventilation and hot water installation considerations\, and the process to hit Passive House goals\nOutline quality assurance and quality control measures used to verify mechanical systems’ performance and reach certification
