WORKSHOP 4
Overshooting the Summer Comfort Target & Landing on Overheating
Date & Time : Sunday, June 12th, 9:00 AM – 12:30 PM
Location : The Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture.
Rooms #107 & #128. The City College of New York,
141 Convent Avenue, New York, NY
Topic : Summer Comfort and Overheating
Description
Passive House buildings are often described as cozy, free from drafts & condensation, and free from worries about heating bills. However, a number of concerns have arisen regarding summer overheating in North American homes. Additionally, it is often assumed that overheating is caused by high levels of insulation and airtightness, which can be misleading. UK Passivhaus experts Mark Siddall & Nick Grant will explore the causes of summer overheating and provide tools and guidance to help deliver buildings that don't just minimize overheating but deliver excellent summer comfort. Working with North American project examples and PHPP, this workshop will cover basic theory, practical details and evidence from case studies and personal experience.
