May 4 Workshop: Passive and Rammed Earth Homes in Alaska

Dan Duame, Executive Director of the Aleutian Housing Authority (AHA), will discuss the genesis, design and progress for two prototype projects aimed at developing high performance affordable housing models for replication in the Aleutian region. These models are both being designed to meet Living Building Challenge and Passive House standards (which includes net-zero energy). One is a super-efficient home in Sand Point. The other is a home being built in the Butte exploring the option of utilizing the high thermal mass benefits of Stabilized Rammed Earth (SRE) for all structural elements of the building, a construction technique never before tried in Alaska. ***Eligible for 2 CEUs for residential endorsement** MORE
