SUMMARY:Natural Crossovers: Combining Passive House Building Science and Biogenic Materials to deliver exceptionally healthy\, resilient buildings
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]1 PHI and 1 AIA HSW CEU approved\, 1 Phius CE pending\n\nThis presentation explores the integration of biogenic building materials\, non-mainstream construction techniques\, and Passive House building science to create healthier\, more resilient\, and durable buildings. It examines the shortcomings of mainstream American construction\, including outdated building codes\, insufficient regulations for health and comfort\, and reliance on materials and methods that compromise moisture management\, durability\, and thermal resilience.\nParticipants will learn how Passive House principles\, combined with biogenic materials\, offer a powerful alternative to address these challenges\, resulting in buildings that prioritize occupant health\, structural safety\, and long-term performance. The session highlights innovative yet practical solutions for achieving superior indoor air quality\, moisture control\, and energy efficiency\, even during power outages\, while reducing environmental impact.\n\nLearning Objectives\n\n 	Identify specific shortcomings in building codes and mainstream construction practices that compromise occupant health and building durability\, such as inadequate moisture management and reliance on harmful materials.\n 	Evaluate metrics used to measure resilience\, comfort\, and indoor environmental quality\, and understand their impact on occupant health and wellbeing.\n 	Analyze how Passive House building science improves resilience and durability through climate-specific\, performance-based methodologies that address moisture dynamics\, thermal comfort\, and energy efficiency.\n 	Assess how to integrate Passive House principles with non-mainstream construction techniques and biogenic materials to create healthier\, more sustainable\, and resilient buildings.\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row content_align=”center” text_align=”center” shape_top_height=”150″ shape_bottom_height=”150″][vc_column width=”1/3″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″]Register Now![/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]About the Speaker: Enrico Bonilauri\, Emu Passive[vc_column_text]Bio: Enrico holds two Master’s Degrees: one in Architecture from the University of Parma\, Italy\, and another in Sustainable Design from the University of Sydney\, Australia.

Over the course of six sessions that started in late 2024\, we looked at how the two standards and organizations approach sustainability\, and how these new certification standards compare and contrast in a ‘crosswalk’ analysis. The Cross Street Passive House\, a retrofit and renovation of a South Philly rowhome\, provides a real-life\, real-time case study of how these standards can be applied and implemented in a project seeking certification.\n\nJoin us for Session 6\, for an action-packed event. Efrie Escott will give us a big picture view of how carbon figures in the environment and our everyday decisions.\n\nThen we’ll hear directly from Phius and Living Future to explore what’s next for REVIVE and Core\, and cement the Learning Series takeaways by diving into a role-playing game to work out a holistic solution to the puzzle of carbon and concrete.\n\nNetwork with wine & beer and a vegetarian / vegan friendly Gyro Bar thanks to our generous sponsor\, Loomis McAfee Architects.\nTickets are free for GBU Members and $20 for non-members.\nConsider becoming a GBU member today!\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row content_align=”center” text_align=”center” shape_top_height=”150″ shape_bottom_height=”150″][vc_column width=”1/3″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]\nSpecial thanks to\n[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”2743″][vc_column_text]\nfor hosting this series!\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
