Multifamily Passive House Air Sealing Case Studies: Historic & New Buildings

Building envelope air sealing is a critical pillar of achieving Passive House certification for multifamily buildings – whether for historic renovation or new construction projects. This session will use case studies of Phius certified multifamily projects – 135+ year old historic renovations and new construction projects – to answer key air sealing questions. How can you simplify Passive House building envelope and compartmentalization air sealing and be guaranteed you will achieve your air tightness requirement? And just how old can a building be and still achieve the Phius REVIVE certification for Passive House renovation projects? Key learnings from both the design and construction phases will be discussed. These questions and others will be answered with plenty of time for attendee questions and discussion so that they can take helpful insights back to their businesses and organizations.
