Tales from the Trenches: Passive House Ventilation Commissioning Best Practices
Hear tales from the trenches regarding ventilation approaches within the context of the Passive House certification standard. This standard has set a high benchmark for low-energy buildings and is widely known as the most rigorous energy efficiency standard currently available. However, the ventilation systems and their interfacing with heat pumps are relatively new to the industry and need to be executed correctly. This discussion will draw from the experiences of commissioning ERV/HRV systems on Passive House retrofit and new construction projects and demonstrate the various execution paths for multifamily and commercial buildings across NYC.
