SUMMARY:Deeper\, Healthier Electrification: Passive House Retrofits
DESCRIPTION:Join Emu Passive for a free webinar on Passive House Retrofits as a healthier pathway to the electrification of the existing building stock\, in collaboration with Passive House Massachusetts. \nElectrifying existing buildings is a crucial step toward reducing reliance on fossil fuels\, but it introduces certain challenges. These include the risk of diminished resilience in the built environment during power outages and increased costs for backup power solutions. \nThis presentation explores how integrating Passive House standards into building retrofits can enhance both energy efficiency and resilience. It highlights the long-term benefits of these standards\, not only in improving a building’s ability to withstand power disruptions\, but also in boosting occupant comfort\, health\, and overall quality of life. \n2 PHI Continuing Education credits are available. \nLearn more and register at: https://www.linkedin.com/events/deeper-healthierelectrification7381442959545864193

SUMMARY:Inside vs. Outside: Designing the Passive Enclosure in Big Buildings
DESCRIPTION:⚡⚡ This is a hybrid in-person and virtual event ⚡⚡ See below for Zoom link ⚡⚡ \nAs part of our “All-in!” theme for 2025\, we explore whether all spaces should indeed be “all-in” the passive building enclosure! \nMultifamily Passive House projects come with unique challenges that can trip up even experienced teams. In the presentation “Inside vs Outside”\, experienced passive house consultant John Loercher (CPHC) of Northeast Projects will dive into some of the most persistent problem areas\, including stack effect\, trash chutes\, laundry rooms\, mixed-used developments and podium construction. \nThis presentation is the culmination of a series of interviews with experienced passive house professionals. Through a mix of technical guidance\, best practices\, and real-world case studies\, John will break down why these tradeoff decisions are particularly tricky and how they can be successfully managed. \nParticipants will leave with a deeper understanding of common pitfalls\, practical solutions\, and decision-making strategies that can improve project outcomes\, reduce risks during construction\, and streamline the certification process. This session is ideal for architects\, builders\, developers\, trades\, and code officials looking to sharpen their approach to multifamily passive house design and construction. \n👉 Continuing Ed: (1) Phius & (1) AIA/HSW CEU available; PHI credits pending approval! \n📍 For in-person\, join us before the presentation for a happy half hour from 5:30-6:00 PM \n🎤 For virtual\, the presentation starts at 6:00 PM Eastern. \nHere is the Zoom Link to join virtually: \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/85082309481?pwd=8WbV2b3oj2oNQUuh5qbOYc7ZhPPoq1.1 \nThanks to the sponsors of Mass Save for supporting this event!

SUMMARY:Passive House Multifamily Building Hurdles and Challenges
DESCRIPTION:Kurt Lamar (Building Advisory Group) and Chris Becker (Callahan Construction Managers) will explore the challenges and lessons learned in passive house construction\, sharing insights through photographs\, case studies\, and real-world experiences. This session is designed for both new and experienced professionals looking to deepen their understanding of best practices\, proactive strategies\, and common pitfalls in passive house projects. As passive house continues to gain national traction\, collaboration and knowledge-sharing are essential to its success. Our goal is to learn from one another by discussing processes that contribute to success—and those that may create challenges—as we strive to be ‘All In’ on achieving successful passive house certification. \nFour learning objectives: \n\nIdentify common challenges in passive house construction and strategies to overcome them.\nAnalyze real-world case studies to understand key lessons learned and best practices.\nEvaluate proactive measures and preferred processes that improve project outcomes and certification success.\nDiscuss the importance of collaboration and shared experiences in advancing passive house design and construction.\n\nRegister here:\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/passive-house-multifamily-building-hurdles-and-challenges-tickets-1273078856129?aff=oddtdtcreator

SUMMARY:Passive House As An Indoor Air Quality Strategy (with Emu Passive)
DESCRIPTION:Passive House standards are widely recognized as the gold standard for building energy efficiency. However\, focusing solely on energy savings overlooks one of their greatest benefits: significantly enhanced indoor air quality. \nThis presentation delves into various indoor air quality metrics and demonstrates how Passive House standards surpass code-minimum construction in improving these factors. By combining superior air tightness with a continuous supply of filtered\, fresh air\, Passive House buildings achieve markedly healthier living environments. This applies not only to new builds but also to retrofit projects\, offering long-term benefits for occupant well-being and comfort. \nThis event is being offered in partnership with Emu Passive. \nThis event is brought to you by the Sponsors of Mass Save.
