Form Follows Performance

This module focuses firstly on building envelope details that are more commonly associated with performance issues. Viewers will then learn about quality assurance and control of the air barrier, and diagnosis and repair of the air barrier with the assistance of air tightness testing.

This module discusses correct design and construction steps for heating, cooling and ventilation systems used in Energy Step Code homes.

This module sets the groundwork for the overall design and compliance process. It shares the motivation behind this evolution towards performance-based code. It is not intended to cover design principles for the BC Energy Step Code (covered in Module 2).

This module builds on basic building science principles and applies them to the evolving/emerging enclosure design and construction practices required to meet the "envelope first" approach. This video is not intended to cover all foundational concepts and terms but offers important ideas to support.

This module presents ways in which the builder can manage the project, in cooperation with the rest of the project team and the trades, to achieve the expected performance levels.

This module discusses the different options that builders have when selecting an air barrier approach, and the important planning steps associated with a successful air barrier.

Every idea begins as a concept. Write notes on the infinite canvas, make mind-maps and mood boards, sketch plans, designs and illustrations. Share with friends, clients and other apps.

Moasure is a revolutionary new measuring technology that measures by sensing its position and movement in three dimensions. It uses inertial motion sensors to measure distance, height, level, angle, area and volume in a single measurement, simply by moving from one point to another.

For the fourth time now, proHolz has launched an interdisciplinary,open and international student competition on building with wood. On the basis of three selected project sites in Munich, Berlin and Vienna, the 2022 edition explores the densification potential of building with wood in urban space.
