SECTIONS TEST JOURNAL

In this presentation, Michael Ingui of Baxt Ingui Architects and Andrew Fishman of SMR Craftworks will describe in detail the approach used by Passive House teams to easily and repeatably implement Passive House. Reducing the energy load and carbon output of the built environment is imperative to addressing the climate crisis, and Passive House provides the tools necessary to make this happen. Both through the experience of our projects and those throughout North America, there is a pattern that successful Passive House teams follow, regardless of project size or type. This systematic approach allows Passive House building to become scalable at the level needed to address climate change without sacrificing quality.
