Part 1 of the Passive House Retrofit Series introduces participants to the unique circumstances in design and retrofitting conventional architecture to the passive house standard.
Overview
Passive House Standards are not just for new construction. Existing structures can benefit from upgrading airtightness, insulation, reducing thermal bridging, upgrading to high performance doors and windows, and adding energy recovery ventilation. Applying the passive house standards to existing structure however, has its own unique challenges.
In this course, you’ll review the passive house standards and take a closer look at how they apply to retrofitting existing buildings, as well as the EnerPHit certifications for building with successful retrofits.
