chapter is hosting meetings once a month on a variety of simulation
topics. It has had a successful run so far with many interesting presentations,
tours and happy hours since its inception. This year started with an
action-packed presentation by Joel Neymark on ASHRAE Standard 140 followed by
Sukreet Singh & Amir Rezaei-Bazkiaei on High Performance Building Analysis.
Moving forward, it has planned presentations on topics such as passivHauz,
cloud daylighting tools, 179D tax deduction modeling, ASHRAE 90.1 2016 preview
and many other interesting topics.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial">Passive House is the strictest
energy efficiency standard in the world. It is a performance standard with
rigorous and verifiable thresholds which have been met by many building
typologies in every climate. The standard is also based on a comfort and health
criteria to provide a holistic experience for occupants. While being very
strict, once mastered Passive House is surprisingly flexible, providing
designers multiple compliance paths and immediate performance feedback, backed
up by a fast growing and evolving supply market and professional community. In
this presentation Enrico and Andrew will cover the Passive House standard with
an emphasis on commercial buildings, citing design considerations and examples.
