Passive House Live kicks off February 2 with special guest Ed May. As a champion of many multifamily, single-family, and commercial Passive House projects Ed has picked up a few how-not-to’s of airtightness during his career in high performance design consulting. We are dedicating the month of February at Passive House Live to focus on the Passive House Principle of Airtightness. Join us to hear horror stories of air leakage, blower doors gone awry, and (most importantly) how to course correct to stay under .06 ACH 50. Tune into Passive House Live Wednesday, February 2 at 4pm pacific/ 7pm eastern for airtightness lessons learned with Ed May. Get the Zoom Link.
*** Important Programming Note: our Construction Tech and Global Passive House Showcase series are consolidating under one umbrella: the Passive House Live series. On the first and third Wednesday of each month, we will hold the Project Showcase edition of Passive House Live, and on the second and fourth Wednesday, we will hold the Construction Tech edition. (This means that Construction Tech will no longer run on Tuesdays.) We'll see you at Passive House Live! ***
Zack interviews Juhee Lee-Hartford and James Hartford of River Architects, the Hudson Valley-based architecture firm that has been pioneering Passive House design for over a decade. Juhee and James share how they met, how both building science and design excellence motivate their work, and the community of practice that they have been part of building in New York State.
