Free Webinar: Passive House Strategies in Warm, Hot, and Humid Climates, July 15, 12-1:30 pm, PT
Event Description
This presentation examines the distinct challenges and effective solutions for implementing Passive House principles in warm, hot, and humid climates. It covers climate-specific design strategies, including optimized ventilation, moisture control, solar shading, and energy-efficient envelope design. Through case studies and performance data, attendees will gain insight into how Passive House standards can be successfully adapted to achieve comfort, durability, and energy efficiency in some of the most demanding environmental conditions.
Learning Objectives:
Identify the key challenges of designing high-performance buildings in warm, hot, and humid climates, including issues related to moisture control, overheating, and concerns regarding indoor air quality.
Explain how Passive House principles - such as thermal insulation, airtightness, and balanced ventilation - can be adapted to promote occupant comfort and energy efficiency in these climates.
Evaluate climate-appropriate building envelope strategies, including shading, material selection, and window performance, to enhance durability and reduce thermal gains.
Apply lessons learned from case studies to inform the design of resilient, low-energy buildings that meet Passive House certification standards in hot and humid regions.
