Pushing Passive: Affordable Housing Forges the Way for High Performance

Webinar | 12 – 1PM CT

The Conservatory Apartments, when completed in February 2024, will be the first Passive House Certified Multi-Unit building at scale in the city. Embracing both the then new 2019 Building Code which allowed a 4 story wood frame and new incentives in the State’s Qualified Action Plan (QAP) for Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) a course was charted to balance economics with delivering high performance.

Come and learn about:

1. How the team was able to implement the latest building code for economic tradeoffs

2. Our iterative high performance envelope design process, including a deep dive into wall section details.

3. WUFI Model do and don’t’s
