AIA U | Integrating Passive House Standards into Custom Residential Design

Join our own AIA CRAN member, Michele Grace Hottel as she moderates this AIA U learning opportunity and gain insights on how Passive House standards are applied to new custom homes .

As a residential architect, would you like to include more high-performance building products and construction processes into the homes you design? Did you know that designing a home to Passive House certification standards can deliver an energy savings of 80-90% over homes designed and built to current code. In addition to the energy savings, Passive House design and construction produces homes that are more comfortable, healthier, and are more resilient in the face of environmental challenges. Building to the Passive House certification standard ensures a comprehensive approach to residential design, energy modeling, and construction processes that produce comfortable, healthy, and resilient homes. We will review typical construction types, windows and installation, air barriers and insulation and new, innovative PH products, proper installation of components. Gain insights on how Passive House standards are applied to new custom homes as well as how Passive House certification standards are applied to remodel projects. Hosted by the Custom Residential Architects Network (CRAN).
