She will discuss the ways in which Ingui Architecture's passive details have been updated in response to real-world challenges and solutions\, as well as strategies that have remained effective in historic masonry retrofits. The presentation will also explore the interaction between the goals of Passive House design\, client needs\, and design opportunities in masonry retrofit projects.Speakers: Amy FaillaAmy is a Registered Architect\, Certified Passive House Designer\, and Principal at Ingui Architecture. She has been with the firm since 2007 and has been part of some of the office's most exciting projects.
