Creating Harmony: Overcoming Challenges in Passive House Multifamily Design
The Passive House building is the song; the design team is the band. Cold Spring Apartments, a New York affordable housing project, exemplifies this symphony of collaboration. For many team members this is their first Passive House project, with individual challenges related to ground source heat pumps, custom climate data, and the dance of peak load balancing. Join us to hear more details about how to incorporate ERVs most effectively while using GSHPs, addressing thermal bridging, PHIUS requirements, and best practices. Bring your own experiences. Whether you're a novice or virtuoso, this session is sure to strike a chord.
