Energy codes can be a strong catalyst to quickly transition market design of new construction and renovations with high-performance building enclosures toward achieving zero net carbon buildings at scale. Join Mithun senior associate Mike Fowler for “The Push Toward a Passive First Energy Code in Washington State” to learn how Passive House Northwest (PHnw) has been participating in the state of Washington energy code development process. Mike will share the process PHnw followed to generate code proposal ideas focused on airtightness, heat recovery ventilation, and passive design measures; as well as the PHPP modeling, cost estimating, and research completed to support the proposals.
