Full Description
High-performance building concepts usually rely on building envelope airtightness measures to reduce energy use. Airtight buildings also reduce the infiltration and exfiltration that would otherwise provide an avenue of cleansing exchange of air with the outdoors. Air quality, air temperature, humidity, acoustics all impact the experience of occupants in the buildings we design. This course discusses options for specifying high-performance buildings that save energy while providing optimized IEQ.
