23 CHANGING STANDARDS

24 PASSIVE HOUSE VS. ENERGY STAR: INSPECTIONS AND TESTING For both programs, General Contractor orientation and subcontractor buy-in is key. At Sacred Heart, both the Project Manager and Superintendent from S.B. Conrad, Inc. completed Passive House Tradesperson training Subcontractors received on-site training from materials suppliers

25 PASSIVE HOUSE VS. ENERGY STAR: INSPECTIONS AND TESTING Energy Star for Multifamily High Rise No rater credentials required; two paths EPA-mandated documentation Documentation is reviewed by EPA Testing and Verification spreadsheets Performance Path Calculator Modeling files (if Performance Path) Proposed Submittal and As-Built Submittal Blower door testing, duct leakage testing, air flow testing Photo documentation Certification by EPA

26 PASSIVE HOUSE VS. ENERGY STAR: INSPECTIONS AND TESTING Passive House Certification (by CPHC/D) vs. Verification (by Rater/Verifier) o CPHD: David Salamon/Re:Vision Architecture o Rater/Verifier: Innova Services Corporation PHI vs. PHIUS

27 PASSIVE HOUSE VS. ENERGY STAR: INSPECTIONS AND TESTING Passive House PHI: No rater credentials required Airtightness per EN ISO o PHA Guidance Document Passive House Blower Door Testing Guidelines, Greenbuild 2013 Ventilation system TAB Declaration of the Construction Supervisor

33 PASSIVE HOUSE INSPECTIONS AND TESTING - Sacred Heart Residences Exterior Rigid Insulation

34 PASSIVE HOUSE INSPECTIONS AND TESTING - Sacred Heart Residences Preliminary blower door testing Multi-point depressurization and pressurization (per EN ISO 13829; same for both PHI and PHIUS+) Testing consultant Kohta Ueno of Building Science Corporation

35 PASSIVE HOUSE INSPECTIONS AND TESTING - Sacred Heart Residences Preliminary blower door testing Great result at depressurization = 0.48 ACH50 Not so great at pressurization 0.70 ACH50 Did something flap open? Above and Right: Kohta Ueno courtesy of Building Science Corporation

36 PASSIVE HOUSE INSPECTIONS AND TESTING - Sacred Heart Residences Preliminary blower door testing Did something flap open? Maybe something strange happening with ERV O/A intake on roof Above: Building Science Corporation

37 PASSIVE HOUSE INSPECTIONS AND TESTING - Sacred Heart Residences Preliminary blower door testing Depressurization test = 5,158 CFM50 Pressurization test = 8,701 CFM50 Average = 6,929 CFM50 = 0.6 ACH50 = PASS Greater leakage under pressurization points to a single point of leakage o o o o N-value (flow exponent) of 0.55 indicates laminar flow of leakage rather than turbulent indicating a large open hole rather than multiple small leaks Otherwise, leaks would have shown up under depressurization, as well Consider building components that may be acting as a one-way valve; e.g. louver blades Analysis underway by Innova, Building Science Corporation and Gary Nelson of Energy Conservatory Sacred Heart still meets Passive House certification performance standard Building Science Corporation
