Proposed Session Description
The Passive House Institute U.S. (PHIUS) has introduced a new version of their standard with the goal of making it easier and more affordable for single-family residential homes to achieve Passive House certification. In this workshop, you will learn about this new Prescriptive Path and how it can simply the design and certification process for single-family homes and make certification available for a wider range of project teams, project sizes and project budgets. This workshop will cover background context on the Passive House standard and origin of the Prescriptive Path checklist and then provide step by step instructions and case studies on how it's used in action. Audience questions and discussion included.
Why is this session important?
Operational energy certification is important but is still not being adopted by a wide single family residential market. This prescriptive path is the first step in providing the lowest operational carbon in our detached buildings while meeting the budgetary constraints of a wider range of constituents.
Diversity and Inclusiveness
Yes - it makes the passive house standard more easily achievable for a wider range of users
Learning Objectives
Learn about the creation of the Phius 2021 CORE prescriptive path and about its intentions towards the design industry
Witness the prescriptive path applied to a number of projects throughout the east coast
Learn about climate-specific variables and how they change depending on the project location
Witness a step-by-step tutorial on how to use the prescriptive checklist
