Energy Recovery for a Passive House

     Speaker: Mike Woosley, Certified Passive House Designer, Business Development Manager, Swegon

Passive House is a rigorous, voluntary standard for energy efficiency in a building, which reduces the building’s ecological footprint. It results in ultra-low energy buildings that require little energy for space heating or cooling. This presentation will discuss HVAC systems for Passive House design, with a focus on energy recovery systems.
