Key Design Principles of Passive House

$85.00

What is passive house? And what impacts can it have?

During this webinar, learn the latest from a leading expert in passive house with an opportunity for live Q&A with the presenter Andy Marlow, an accomplished architect and a Director at Australian Passive House Association.

Key learning areas include:

  1. High Performance Windows: How low-emissivity double or triple glazing with thermally broken or non-metal frames can allow solar radiation to penetrate during the winter months (free heating!) but limit during the summer.
  2. Thermal Insulation: Sufficient insulation is what’s needed within the building’s envelope, providing enough thermal separation between the inside environment and the outdoors.
  3. Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery: How ventilation recovers heat and cool that would otherwise be wasted whilst also filtering the air that’s coming into the building.
  4. Airtightness: Ensuring there are only a very limited amount of gaps and cracks within your envelope, giving you full control over your internal environment
  5. Thermal Bridge Free Construction: using materials that are less conductive to heat (i.e. timber in place of metal) and/or incorporating thermal breaks.
