Energy
and Air Barriers -
Navigating the New
Codes
|
Over the past decade, energy codes have brought
a number of
changes with
respect to
improving the
performance of
the building
envelope both
in design and
construction.
Currently,
there are
multiple codes
and standards
requiring
varying levels
of air
tightness as
well as
varying levels
and methods of
verification.
Through a
review of
multiple case
studies of
current
enclosure
consulting and
whole building
air leakage
testing,
including
high-rise,
multi-family,
and historic
renovation,
this
presentation
will discuss
these codes
and standards
for validity,
impact and
relevance.

Air
Tightness
Requirements of
the Passive House
Standard
|
|
The
Passive House
(PH) building
standard is the
most stringent
energy
efficiency
standard in the
world. Achieving
the stringent
air tightness
requirements of
the PH standard
requires careful
coordination
through all
phases of design
development and
construction. In
this
presentation,
the team will
take you through
the steps and
tools necessary
to meet these
strict
requirements.
They will share
successes and
failures and
make
recommendations
to help the
audience reach
these targets.
The session will
describe the
necessity for
integrated
design, air
barrier
documents, and
inspections and
testing tools
and protocols.
