Our next free webinar is A Case Study In Enclosure Coordination - How The Academy For Global Citizenship Achieved Passive House Air Leakage Rates: Join Leonard Sciarra (FARR) and Steve Black (Power Construction) as they showcase the Academy for Global Citizenship, a 70,000 square foot, two-story K-8 school located on the Southwest Side of Chicago. The school achieves the air tightness required to achieve both Living Building Challenge and PHIUS 2021. The team will discuss strategies employed and challenges faced from design and procurement to construction and site observation. Attendees will learn about the multiple types of envelope components, designing for complex geometries, and penetrations through different materials. The team will discuss the communication and strategy involved in managing a large project with multiple trades—coordinating their overlap in a seamless way to ensure proper envelop enclosure. The school, part of the Chicago Public School system, was delivered on budget and in a shorter timeframe than a typical CPS school, with a high percentage of local, Minority and Women-owned contractors.
