Video details
Scene summary
Passive House is an incredible building standard for designing and certifying energy efficient buildings (homes, schools, hospitals, offices, etc.). Using the 5 green building techniques explained in this video, Passive Houses need only 10% of the energy that a conventional home uses (that's a 90% energy saving!).
We met up with Alex and Sandra from BCIT's High Performance Building Lab in Vancouver, Canada to learn about the different ways that a home can be built to use less energy. They're pretty simple to understand and don't cost much more than a typical new build:
- Highly insulated building envelope
- High performance triple glazed windows
- Elimination of thermal bridges
- Continuous air sealed layer
- Heat recovery ventilation
The building lab at BCIT is a really exciting new space where tradespeople can come to learn about green building techniques.
