Andrew Michler will lecture on the Passive House building system as a Global Phenomenon. Andrew is a Certified Passive House Consultant and designer. He developed the first certified International Passive House in Colorado, which is the state’s most energy efficient home and has been on the cover of international architecture magazines and covered extensively in design media. Developed in Germany but utilized around the world, Passive House refers to a rigorous, voluntary standard for energy efficiency for any type of building to significantly reduce its ecological footprint. The standard is also about improving a building’s comfort well beyond what is typical in even “green” design.

The primary focus of good design and construction needs be the comfort and health of people living in and occupying the buildings. 

During our first Hard Hat Happy Hour, we will give a short presentation on the topics of thermal comfort, the absence of mold and condensation, and indoor air quality. 

Examples from both new constructions and retrofits of existing buildings will be shown. We'll also briefly go over different performance standards available, such as Net Zero and Passive House.

Who may find this interesting? home owners, architects, designers, energy consultants, builders, real estate agents, town council representatives, manufacturers and suppliers of components (insulation, membranes, windows, mechanical ventilation), builders, college students of architecture and engineering.
