  • A CRITICAL ANALYSIS of the PASSIVE HOUSE STANDARD for the CLIMATES of the UNITED STATES Ryan Michael Abendroth1
    SESSION 8.2– Passive Housing, Paper 75 A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE PASSIVE HOUSE STANDARD FOR THE CLIMATES OF THE UNITED STATES Ryan Michael Abendroth1 ABSTRACT This research demonstrates that when using current technologies and practices, the functional definition of a passive house as defined by Schneiders (Schneiders 2009) and later by Feist (Feist 2012) as a building that "can provide the necessary heating, cooling, and dehumidification through supply air ventilation" is not achievable in all U.S. climate zones. To make possible the widespread adoption of this low energy standard, the Passive House Standard itself needs to be adjusted and redefined for the United States. The study simulated a given sample building by testing building parameters such as the glazing percentage, solar heat gain coefficient, window U-Values, and R-Values for the walls, roof, and floor. For each of the 1000 TMY3 climate locations throughout the United States, 10,125 unique cases were simulated until every possible combination of the factors above were run. This process of optimization will demonstrate the sensitivity of certain passive house features to increases and decreases in energy use as well as the limits to what is achievable in passive house design and construction. To maintain precision between the climates, this research analyzed the simulated results for each passive house criteria against the data from within each climate set including temperature, radiation, dew point, and sky temperature. The analysis resulted in adjusted passive house criteria based on the characteristics of a specific climate data set's location. INTRODUCTION In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Dr.

  • 2016 Conference in Review
    2016 Conference in Review 27 April 2016 Passive House Conference demonstrates sustainable solutions for new constructions and retrofits International Conference back in Darmstadt on the anniversary of the building Standard Darmstadt, Germany. A tried and tested solution is already available for buildings of the future: the Passive House Standard combines maximum efficiency with optimal comfort. How this works, was demonstrated by experts from all over the world on 22 and 23 April during the International Passive House Conference in Darmstadt. This event also marked an anniversary: 25 years ago, the world's first Passive House building was built just a few kilometres away from the congress centre. The sustainability of this concept was substantiated by a new study that was presented at the Conference. The inhabitants of the first Passive House building in the Darmstadt city district of Kranichstein first moved in in 1991. 25 years of user experiences are available, as well as measurement reports and specific values relating to the durability of the separate systems. Statistical evaluation has shown a stable heating consumption of less than 9 kWh/(m²a) on average – this is less than a tenth of the consumption in conventional residential buildings in Germany. A further airtightness test, thermographic imaging for detecting thermal bridges and sampling the insulation were part of the follow-up investigations. The outcome was clear: "Even today, everything functions exactly as it did the first day. The passive systems are simply less susceptible to faults", says Dr. Wolfgang Feist, Director of the Passive House Institute. Precisely because this highly efficient building Standard has already delivered first class results for a quarter of a century, at the International Conference one could not only look back at the beginnings, but also set sights to the future.

    Banisteria, Number 43, pages 3-20 © 2014 Virginia Natural History Society Land Snails and Slugs (Gastropoda: Caenogastropoda and Pulmonata) of Two National Parks along the Potomac River near Washington, District of Columbia Brent W. Steury U.S. National Park Service 700 George Washington Memorial Parkway Turkey Run Park Headquarters McLean, Virginia 22101 Timothy A. Pearce Carnegie Museum of Natural History 4400 Forbes Avenue Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15213-4080 ABSTRACT The land snails and slugs (Gastropoda: Caenogastropoda and Pulmonata) of two national parks along the Potomac River in Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia were surveyed in 2010 and 2011. A total of 64 species was documented accounting for 60 new county or District records. Paralaoma servilis (Shuttleworth) and Zonitoides nitidus (Müller) are recorded for the first time from Virginia and Euconulus polygyratus (Pilsbry) is confirmed from the state. Previously unreported growth forms of Punctum smithi Morrison and Stenotrema barbatum (Clapp) are described. Key words: District of Columbia, Euconulus polygyratus, Gastropoda, land snails, Maryland, national park, Paralaoma servilis, Punctum smithi, Stenotrema barbatum, Virginia, Zonitoides nitidus. INTRODUCTION Although county-level distributions of native land gastropods have been published for the eastern United Land snails and slugs (Gastropoda: Caeno- States (Hubricht, 1985), and for the District of gastropoda and Pulmonata) represent a large portion of Columbia and Maryland (Grimm, 1971a), and Virginia the terrestrial invertebrate fauna with estimates ranging (Beetle, 1973), no published records exist specific to between 30,000 and 35,000 species worldwide (Solem, the areas inventoried during this study, which covered 1984), including at least 523 native taxa in the eastern select national park sites along the Potomac River in United States (Hubricht, 1985).

As one of the most adventurous com- posers of his generation, Henry Cowell (1897–1965) toured Europe several times before 1933. Traveling to the continent in early June 1923, Cowell played some of his own works in a concert on the ship, and visiting Germany that fall he performed his new piano works in Berlin, Leipzig, and Munich. His compositions, which pioneered the use of chromatic forearm and fist clusters and inside-the-piano (“string piano”) techniques, were “extremely well received and reviewed in Berlin,” a city that, according to the com- poser, “had heard a little more modern music than Leipzig,” where a hos- tile audience started a fistfight on stage.1 A Leipzig critic gave his review a futuristic slant, comparing Cowell’s music to the noisy grind of modern cities; another simply called it noise. Reporting on Cowell’s Berlin concert, Hugo Leichtentritt considered him “the only American representative of musical modernism.” Many writers praised Cowell’s keyboard talents while questioning the music’s quality.2 Such reviews established the tone 8 Beal_Text 12/12/05 5:50 PM Page 9 for the German reception of unconventional American music—usually performed by the composers themselves—that challenged definitions of western art music as well as stylistic conventions and aesthetic boundaries of taste and technique.
