Passive Modular Case Study: Navigating Construction for Multifamily Projects

Join us for our October Construction Tech event featuring Mike Kirby, Director of Commercial Operations and Engineering at Signature Building Systems of PA. This session spotlights the Phius-certified LaMora Senior Living project in Yonkers, New York. Mike explores the intricacies of managing multifamily construction projects, focusing on key aspects such as design coordination, energy modeling, and collaboration with Passive House consultants. Discover how the LaMora project is built to be exceptionally airtight from the outset and learn about the innovative assembly line processes that streamline construction. Throughout the event, Mike shares documentation of the construction process, highlighting sequencing and methods, as well as his experiences with testing both in the factory and on-site while addressing the challenges faced in the field. He emphasizes the importance of educating the set crew about air sealing practices and techniques, and discusses strategies for effective communication between the factory and field installations. This includes the significance of coordination among factory energy consultants, field consultants, architects, and clients. This session is a unique opportunity to explore the complexities of modular construction while gaining practical knowledge about achieving field airtightness versus factory airtightness, and meeting CPHC.
