SUMMARY:Wildfire Resilience and Passive House
DESCRIPTION:Part 6 of 9  \nWith the growing occurrence of devastating wildfires\, there’s an imperative to make buildings fire safe and resilient. Passive House can support a clear pathway to achieve these goals. The class will review the latest science on wildfires and building safety\, including the interplay among building structure\, the surrounding landscape\, community\, and the Passive House methodology. We will dive into a toolkit with specific steps for analyzing and implementing fire resilient Passive House strategies for your next building project. \nAgenda: \n\nIntroduction and safety message\nContext of fire weather\, wildfires\, and urban conflagration.\nPriorities for building\, landscape\, and community hardening against wildfire threats\nHow Passive House characteristics can support fire resilience\nOptimization of fire resilience and Passive House goals\nExamples\n\nThe objective of this course is that at the conclusion\, participants will be able to: \n\nOutline the threats that buildings\, property\, and people face due to the growing frequency of wildfires\nDescribe critical weaknesses and failures in site and building design that compromise fire resilience\nOutline attributes\, details\, and quality control aspects of Passive House design and construction that support wildfire resilience\nDescribe code\, landscaping\, and community strategies for strengthening fire resilience and the opportunities for Passive House to be implemented to enhance effectiveness

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
