Passive Houses are designed to deliver exceptional energy efficiency and year-round comfort for occupants. By integrating five core principles—super-insulated envelopes, airtight construction, high-performance glazing, thermal bridge-free design, and heat recovery ventilation—Passive Houses create buildings that perform at a high level throughout their entire lifespan.
Join us for a technical WoodSolutions webinar featuring Architect Niall O Healaithe and Structural Engineer Robert Nestic as they unpack the key design and construction elements of a recently completed glued-laminated (glulam) timber post-and-beam Passive House.
You’ll gain practical insights into the full timber Passive House journey—from concept design and structural engineering to off-site fabrication and final construction. The session will also showcase a range of other timber-based Passive House examples.
This webinar is ideal for building professionals—particularly architects, structural engineers, and anyone interested in sustainable construction—looking to deepen their understanding of Passive House principles using timber.
