Event presented by Reimagine Buildings Collective
Thursday, August 6th from 12pm-1pm eastern (Virtual)
PHPP Tips+Tricks is a monthly series where the team at Peel Passive House walks through one PHPP worksheet at a time, sharing the moves they've developed in their own modeling work.
This month, Melissa Furukawa walks through the Ground worksheet—slab edge, basement slabs, crawlspaces, and the inputs that catch modelers off guard.
Each session in this series stands on its own, so no need to have caught the previous editions.
Bring a project you're stuck on, or just come listen in.
