With their combined expertise, Straube and Lstiburek will help attendees understand what constitutes a high-performance building. Day 1 will address fundamental questions about what is important in high-performance design, while Day 2 will focus on the successful implementation of these strategies. September 12Day 1 | Fundamentals of High Performance BuildingsSpeaker: Dr. Joseph Lstiburek, Building Science Corporation Lstiburek will discuss the fundamentals and history of high performance. What is meant by "high performance”? Who or what makes this designation? How did we get from the LoCal House to Passive House? How do transition from high performance single-family homes to high performance multi-family high-rises? We keep hearing build tight – ventilate right: How tight? What’s right? According to whom? What is the relative importance of insulation, glazing, air tightness, and mechanical systems? How crucial are factors such as material choices and occupant behavior? Day 1 will also cover practical issues, such as the conflict between high-performance retrofits and historic preservation. AIA CES: 7.5 LU/HSWIn order to receive credits for this seminar, attendees will be asked to sign in at the beginning and end of the day. - September 13Day 2 | Details and Implementation of High Performance BuildingsSpeaker: Dr. John Straube, University of Waterloo/RDH Building Science How do designers achieve higher levels of insulation, reduced thermal bridging, and better airtightness? What are high-performance windows, and how are they selected and installed? What are the requirements for air tightness? How do you select proper air and vapor barriers? How do you select suitable HVAC systems for high-performance projects? Day 2 will also cover Passive House insulation as well as issues around cladding attachment, balconies, and parapets.
