The Passive House
Wellfleet Bay Audubon, Wellfleet

Katrin Klingenberg, architect, will present the techniques of “The Passive House” which include the use of passive solar and high levels of insulation, making a house of such low energy needs that it can be heated with the equivalent to the heat of a hair dyer! This model has been used in Urbana, Illinois in part for affordable housing. Learn how we can do this here too! This course has been approved for 5 AIA/CEI Credits.
