Our March Construction Technology event will feature Barry Price, from Barry Price Architecture in Upstate New York. We'll explore how construction technology enhances passive house design principles through the use of innovative techniques and materials to achieve optimal energy efficiency in wide ranging projects. Session attendees will:

Gain an understanding of passive house design principles tailored for small architectural practices. Explore key concepts like thermal insulation, airtightness, and passive heating/cooling strategies, and learn how to seamlessly integrate these principles into small-scale projects, promoting energy efficiency and sustainability.

Explore the practical application of construction technology in passive house design. Investigate various construction techniques, materials, and technologies, and discover how to effectively utilize them to meet the stringent standards of Passive House construction.

Learn from real-world experiences at the nexus of design and construction in small architectural practices. Through case studies and project examples, examine both the challenges and successes encountered in implementing passive house principles. Extract valuable insights and strategies for navigating obstacles and achieving success in Passive House design projects. Additionally, attendees will gain insights into how principles and morals can guide practice in terms of project acquisition, and the nature of the dialogue maintained with clients during the course of the project.

This free presentation will take place on Wednesday, March 27th at 9am PT / 12pm ET and will be followed by a lively Q+A session. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from industry leaders and engage with the PHA community. See you there!
