We Should Know Better: Top 10 Multifamily Design Mistakes
The residential building industry has made incredible progress toward sustainability and energy efficiency goals. At the same time, senior Green Rater and Registered Architect Steve Klocke finds many new buildings underperforming because designers continue to make SIMPLE, AVOIDABLE MISTAKES.
The All-Electric Multifamily: Trends, Technologies and Best Practices for Designing a Gas-Free Future
This session will explore electrification in Multifamily type buildings by looking at the data of 350 multifamily projects, then dive into current technologies for all-electric space heating and current challenges for domestic hot water.
Getting Energy Efficiency Projects to the Finish Line Using Your Financing Toolkit
What is the current state of energy efficiency project financing? How can one use the available financing options to plan a realistic project and move it to the finish line? In this dynamic session, our experienced panelists will not queue up with individual slide presentations. Instead, you can expect an open and engaging conversation about financing.
Different Systems of Multifamily Passive House from Design to Operation
As the first cohort of Passive House buildings are completed and occupied, we continue to learn how to optimize design and construction for maintenance considerations and the actual end uses of the buildings.
Measured vs. Modeled Energy Performance in Passive House Multifamily Properties
This presentation will report on a detailed comparison of modeled performance predicted by passive design tools and actual measured performance data of four case study projects while occupied and under operation. How well do the currently used passive modeling tools, algorithms, and underlying modeling assumptions match the measured performance in the field? Were the goals met?
