Washington State Energy Code Path is Now Equal to PHI Low-energy Building Standard

Location:

24th International Passive House Conference

Online Event

Speaker:

Mike Fowler

Date & Time:

10.07.2020 | 9:10 am–10:15 am (Pacific Time)

The Passive House Northwest energy code proposal written by Mithun senior associate Mike Fowler for the 2018 Washington state energy code reduces airtightness for all building types and requires heat recovery ventilation for multifamily buildings. The Passive House Planning Package (PHPP) model results indicate there is now a code minimum pathway for multifamily buildings to meet the Passivhaus Institut (PHI) low-energy building standard.

Join Mike for “Washington State Energy Code Path is Now Equal to PHI Low-energy Building Standard,” to learn about the code development process, energy modeling and presentation case made at the state code hearings. This presentation is part of the Berlin-based conference’s policy track, and will incorporate discussion with co-panelists Dragomir Tzanev of EnEffect, Center for Energy Efficiency (Bulgaria) and Giorgia Tzar of Passive House Institute (Germany).
