Passive House Institute New Zealand has recently release the High-Performance Construction Details handbook, authored by Jason Quinn.
The handbook brings together selected high-performance construction details from residential projects successfully built in Aotearoa NZ. Out of all the details from every Passive House project certified in this country, the most useful Elements and Junctions were selected and analysed thermally in detail to ISO standards. CAD data for these generic details is provided, along with R-value calculations plotted for the Elements and thermal bridge performance in terms of PSI and fRSI values provided for the Junctions. Selected commonly-built details (those that only comply with Building Code minimums) are also included for the sake of comparison.
Join Jason and PHINZ CEO Amy Tankard for an introduction to the handbook as well as an overview of PHINZ, the Passive House standard and application of the details.Register Here
