Part 1 of our two-part program is a virtual presentation by the design team at Patriquin Architects to introduce the Slate Upper School project in New Haven, Connecticut and understand its driving forces.

Patriquin Architects will discuss the thoughtful evolution of Slate School’s award-winning, nature-based lower school campus. Now in construction and scheduled to open in the Fall of 2024, the Upper School’s evidence-based design strategies include optimized building orientation and envelope detailing to manage heat gains, thermal bridging, and moisture, and an overarching emphasis on healthy materials that contribute to the well-being of building occupants and our planet.

The team will describe the design process, collaboration, and innovations that came about.

This is Part 1 of 2. Each event requires a separate ticket. Attend one or both events.

Learning Objectives:

Learning Objective 1: How to specify and detail a high-performance building envelope that uses principles of Passive House to address thermal bridging, air infiltration, vapor and moisture management, and solar heat gain to contribute to a healthy learning environment.

Learning Objective 2: How to leverage databases such as the International Living Future Institute’s Declare to aid in the research, evaluation and specification of materials and assemblies that can be healthier for occupants and for the global environment.

Learning Objective 3: How the right mix of envelope materials, systems equipment selections, and user input can provide exceptional IAQ, thermal, acoustical and lighting comfort while also lowering operational carbon emissions and energy use intensity.

Learning Objective 4: How design firms evolve their practice over time and adopt emergent technologies that push us forward towards a carbon-neutral and equitable built environment. Leverage tools for energy modeling, daylighting simulations, and embodied carbon calculators and how they can influence the design and construction process.
