We will be joined by Mike Woolsey from Swegon, who will speak on Passive House ventilation. PHI currently lists 80 certified buildings in the USA. Typical ventilation strategies have emerged in the last 5 years. Join this presentation to review centralized vs. decentralized vs. mixed ventilation strategies, learn about the pros and cons of typical post-heating/post-cooling strategies, and find opportunities to improve future buildings with more diverse use of existing technology.
We hope to see you there!

We will be joined by Nick Shaw from 475 High Performance Building Supply, who will give us an introduction to the air sealing systems on offer and discuss the importance of an interior air barrier and proper waterproofing. The presentation will get into air barrier transition details and install sequencing to keep costs down as well as simplify details. A variety of air sealing options will be discussed and there will be plenty of time for questions.
Because we’ve had so much interest in Passive House retrofits, we want to encourage you all to join the online course “Passive House Retrofits: The EnerPHit Standard” on Tuesday, January 23, 2024 from 11am – 1:30 CT (2.5 hours).
Since this course is at our standing monthly meeting time, we have decided to cancel our Passive House Minnesota January meeting to allow all to participate in the retrofit course.
Please join us for our next event on Tuesday, February 6th at 7pm at Bauhaus Brew Labs for the first social hour of 2024!
[Please note that happy hours are now moving to 1st Tuesdays, and the time will now be later for 2024.]
