Mass Timber Envelopes in Passivhaus Buildings: Designing for Moisture Safety in Hot and Humid Australian Climates
Congratulations to APHA Member and Passive House Certifier Marcus Strang on his paper, Mass Timber Envelopes in Passivhaus Buildings: Designing for Moisture Safety in Hot and Humid Australian Climates, recently published in the Buildings Journal. The article, co-authored by Paola Leardini, Arianna Brambilla, and Eugenia Gasparri, featured as part of the Special Issue Research on Energy Efficient Green Building Based on Wood and Composite Wood.
The paper responds to the compelling need of providing quantitative data and adoption strategies of structural CLT technology and Passive House certification. It explores their combined application as a potential pathway for climate-appropriate design of energy-efficient and durable envelope solutions for subtropical and tropical Australian climates.
