PH 330: Calculating the Cost/Comfort Equation (Part 9 Buildings)
September 30, 2020 @ 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm
Join this webinar, offered by Passive House Canada, and explore the costs and comforts of building and living in a Passive House. The math is simple: cost to build – running costs + comfort and health = customer satisfaction
Description
This webinar will look at the detail cost breakdowns of several completed Passive houses (Part 9) as well as their long-term running costs. The class will also look as some of the less tangible measures such as air quality and health outcomes of those living in passive homes.
Learning Outcomes
- Have an understanding of which parts of a passive home cost more and which cost less
- Have an understanding of some of the health benefits of high performance buildings
