Session 13: Energy efficient non-residential buildings
Wednesday, 15 September 2021
Non-residential buildings form a large part of the building stock and place special demands on the designer in terms of their functionality. Whether Romania, Scotland, Italy, or even Canada, this session will highlight advantages of Passive House construction and illustrate them using realized, energy-efficient Passive House non-residential buildings. Direct comparisons with conventionally constructed buildings and field reports will enable our speakers to paint a nuanced and diverse picture of the benefits of the Passive House Standard for non-residential buildings.

A comparison between two identical nurseries in Scotland - one Passivhaus one traditional How do we accurately measure the benefits of Passivhaus? By having two identical buildings - one Passivhaus and one traditional - we now have qualitative and quantitative data for cost, construction, and in-use performance to put it to the test!
