Lois Arena and Monte Paulsen will share learning from some of the largest Passive House projects in North America during this first of a two-part workshop series on high-rise and large commercial Passive House design. This morning session will examine best approaches to building envelope and glazing.
Lois will draw on her experience with the Cornell Tech high-rise residential tower known as The House, as well as the 33-story mixed use project in Harlem, Sendero Verde. Monte will share lessons learned from the first several multi-unit Passive House projects in British Columbia. Lois and Monte will synthesize their experiences into a series of design recommendations for envelope assembly and glazing strategies for large Passive House buildings.
