SUMMARY:Introduction to Control Layers for Passive House Wall Assemblies (200A) ONLINE - APR 2025
DESCRIPTION:Date\n200A: Wednesday April 2\, 2025 – 10am to 12pm (PDT) \n*Date is subject to change \nCourse description\nIf you are a designer or builder who wants to achieve a high-performing\, durable Passive House building\, you need to understand control layers. Control layers are materials and systems of materials that are specially designed\, selected\, and detailed to control water\, vapour\, and air. They are placed throughout the building\, from the roof\, walls\, and floor to the below-grade enclosure assemblies\, details\, and interfaces. They consist of membranes and other materials typically described as air barriers\, vapour barriers\, and water-resistive barriers\, or collectively as critical barriers. \nThe design\, selection\, and placement of control layers can be challenging. Given the highly insulated nature of passive house buildings\, even small mistakes in water and air control can create problems. Simply adding insulation to traditional wall and roof assemblies is risky\, so air and vapour control practices must be adjusted to consider the assembly layers and details. Therefore\, to design and construct effective passive house buildings\, designers and builders must understand the building science behind control layers. \nBuilding Enclosure Control Layers –  Part 1 of the Building Enclosure Control Layers series\n \n200A will introduce the concept of building enclosure control layers and provide examples from passive house buildings of air barrier systems\, vapour retarders/barriers\, and wall/roof water management. The session will also cover placement of vapour control with different types and varying thicknesses of insulation and water control for walls\, including rainscreens and water-resistive barrier materials. \nThis two-hour session will include 90 minutes of live web-based instruction and demonstrations plus a 30-minute Q&A. \n*To register for the full series\, please click here. \nLearning Outcomes\n\nUnderstand the challenges with building enclosure assembly design and detailing for passive house projects\nDescribe and identify building enclosure control layers\nDesign and sketch appropriate building enclosure control layers within passive house building enclosure assemblies and details\nSpecify appropriate building materials for different control functions suitable for the higher demands of passive house projects

SUMMARY:Retrofit to EnerPHit: Achieving the Passive House Standard for Existing Buildings ONLINE - APR 2025
DESCRIPTION:Dates\nDay 1 & 2: Tuesday April 1 & Thursday April 3\, 2025 from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm (PST) each day\nDay 3 & 4: Tuesday April 8 & Thursday April 10\, 2025 from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm (PST) each day \n*Dates are subject to change \nCourse description\nBuildings shape the lives\, health and wellbeing of individuals and communities. Unfortunately\, too many of the buildings across Canada often have significant problems: from drafty building envelopes\, to mold and moisture problems\, to inefficient HVAC systems. The Passive House standard has evolved over the years and now includes powerful tools\, guidelines and certification pathways which can assist design and construction professionals seeking to retrofit existing buildings to be more comfortable\, healthier and use less energy. \nThis in-depth course will introduce participants to the Passive House retrofit ‘EnerPHit’ standards and highlight some examples of successful Passive House retrofits from around the world. We will discuss the basic principles of Passive House design\, including thermal comfort\, energy efficiency\, durability and health – as well as some of the common tools and techniques for achieving these goals on retrofits. We’ll also review how the EnerPHit standard fits into the larger efforts at decarbonization across Canada. Anyone looking to rehabilitate an existing building will benefit from this course\, and in particular this course is a crucial first step for anyone looking to certify a building as a Passive House EnerPHit retrofit. \nLearning Outcomes\n\nParticipants will gain knowledge about the International Passive House Standards and how these certifications apply to Retrofits of existing buildings as well as the specific Certification pathways which have been developed for conversions of existing buildings.\nUnderstand the various Passive House strategies for improving durability\, health\, comfort and energy-efficiency and how they can be applied in retrofit scenarios\nAnalyze the implications of modifications to the building envelope and review some common issues and pitfalls in high performance retrofits\nUnderstand how building retrofits fit into the larger nationwide efforts at climate-change adaptation and mitigation.
