Why Ventilation is the Secret Superpower of Passive House

Ventilation isn’t just a component of Passive House design, it’s the quiet hero that makes comfort, health, and performance possible. In this session, we pull back the curtain on why ventilation is the true superpower of Passive House buildings, exploring how success hinges on thoughtful coordination from day one. Kelly Fisher, a Certified Passive House Consultant with 8 years in the Passive House sector and 19 years in construction, guides us through essential strategies spanning design, construction, and operation. Drawing from her work managing certification, consultancy, and training projects at Peel Passive House, Kelly will outline how to:

-Establish airflow requirements early through effective team collaboration
-Plan for commissioning and balancing to reduce post-installation headaches
-Align controls and PHPP modeling with real-world mechanical coordination Whether you're an architect, builder, engineer, or consultant, this session will deepen your understanding of how to get ventilation right — and why it’s often the difference between good and great Passive House performance.
