Overview
What’s it like to work on your first multi-unit residential Passive House building? Does it get easier on your second? How about your fifth? The Peak is a 6 storey multi-unit residential building under construction in Vancouver that’s aiming to meet the Passive House standard.
Not only does the project boast a variety of novel design solutions to meet stringent high-performance requirements, but the team composition also favours a variety of different perspectives. From a seasoned general contractor embarking on their first Passive House project to an architectural firm with more Passive House projects under their belt than any other in BC, both project team members will present valuable lessons learned from their journey together based on their different points of view.
Join ZEBx and Passive House Canada with speakers from Bold Construction and Cornerstone Architects.
