Building codes are evolving to create more stringent standards for energy efficiency. Passive techniques were used in building design for centuries to help moderate indoor temperatures before heating and cooling systems become prevalent. Now, passive techniques are making a resurgence because of their effectiveness in achieving ideal indoor environmental conditions. Join us to learn about passive techniques that meet energy codes, including thermal mass, proper daylighting, and thermal bridging. Hear lessons learned from real-world projects that incorporate passive energy techniques.

Learning Objectives
• Learn how to apply passive solar techniques to projects that meet to meet and exceed energy codes.
• Understand the effects of thermal mass on energy efficient design and how it can be used to create energy efficient designs.
• Learn how to balance daylighting with thermal mass to achieve high-performance design.
• Explore the impact of thermal bridges on projects.
