Proposed Session Description
With the coming updates to building energy codes, there is an anticipation of growth in the volume of passive house buildings. It is important to have a fully scalable approach to successfully guide teams from scope development through pre-certification. This session will give a “behind the scenes” look into the process and demonstrate how to best handle the expansion of passive house projects with a look at both the perspective of the project manager and the energy modeler.
