Passive House
KOW helps project teams translate Passive House goals into coordinated envelope, ventilation, mechanical-system, and documentation decisions. The engagement starts by identifying the certification program, project targets, and responsibilities.
The work follows the project through modeling and design review, construction coordination, and the agreed testing and certification documentation. Required inspections, tests, and certifier review are identified early so the team can plan for them.
