Learning Objectives

1. Participants will learn varied methods and concepts of how to apply the Passive House design standard to large, multi-story buildings, including material selection.

2. Participants will learn the difference between prescriptive and performance-based design standards, and specifically how the Passive House performance-based standard allows the design team flexibility during the architectural process to respond to various program requirements, client expectations, and construction budgets.

3. The challenges and lessons learned from The House at Cornell Tech will be reviewed and participants will learn how these were applied to the design and construction for Sendero Verde, Winthrop Center, and University of Toronto Scarborough. The lessons will focus on the exterior envelope design, interior air quality and occupant comfort, HVAC systems, and how total energy demand is lowered in large buildings (>200,000 SF).

4. Attendees will learn about the challenges presented by designing extremely energy-efficient buildings and how they can be effectively addressed with readily available products and technologies, including innovative stone wool solutions that can be applied to solve these design challenges.
