Passive House as a Path to Net Zero Speakers:
Around the world, policy makers and institutions have established targets for net zero building construction. But how do we get there? Space heating continues to comprise the majority of energy consumed by our buildings, despite gains in the efficiency of mechanical systems. Designing building envelopes that keep heat from escaping in the first place is the next step in significantly reducing energy consumption in buildings, in turn resulting in building energy demand that can more feasibly be met by renewables. The Passive House Standard provides a roadmap for this improvement. |

Passive House Multi-Residential Affordable Housing – Experience from three recent projects Speakers:
This session will include the stories behind three different multi-residential affordable housing projects in Ontario— all currently under construction. These projects have highlighted the significant challenges faced by design teams, constructors, and owners in creating low-energy/net-zero projects. The goal is to demystify Passive House and show what is needed to make this type of construction become the norm in Canada. |
