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
