Real-World Detailing for Prefabricated Passive Enclosures

⚡⚡ This is a hybrid in-person and virtual event ⚡⚡

How do projects successfully incorporate offsite fabrication to meet the rising demand for Passive House? Join building enclosure experts Matthew Colturi and Cheryl Saldanha as they examine panelized and unitized facade systems through four real-world projects. Moving beyond basic offsite concepts, they will dissect critical interface details, design coordination traps, and field execution realities to highlight both the true benefits and practical limitations of Passive House prefab systems.

To scale performance, teams are increasingly turning to prefabricated enclosure systems to streamline schedules, control costs, elevate assembly quality, and support ambitious energy performance goals. However, success still hinges on maintaining strict continuity across thermal, air, and moisture control layers.

Walk away with an actionable QA/QC framework to integrate prefabricated enclosure systems that support scalable Passive House performance from design through construction.

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand the fundamentals of prefabricated enclosure systems and identify the specific system and interface conditions critical for high performance.
2. Recognize common prefabricated system details and evaluate design enhancements developed specifically to meet Passive House requirements.
3. Discuss practical considerations for integrating prefabrication into Passive House project workflows, spanning design, manufacturing, and construction phases.
4. Summarize a comprehensive QA/QC framework that supports the scaling of prefabrication while reliably achieving Passive House performance.
