Mechanical Engineering – Passive House Multifamily (6A)
![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/cab94eba88213999df64a4279af49e7c?s=52&d=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.greenbuildingadvisor.com%2Fapp%2Favatars%2F200x200%2Fc.png&r=g)
I am developing a 4-story, 24 unit, 20,000sf multifamily building in Minneapolis (Climate Zone 6A). We plan on pursuing PHIUS certification.
Can anyone recommend a mechanical engineer with multifamily passive house experience that would be willing to consult/advise during pre/schematic design?
I have a local mechanical engineer who I have worked with before and plan to use to produce the pricing and permitting set. They have significant multifamily experience but not passive house multifamily.
I am in need of supplementary services to advise, point us in the right direction, and help confirm/refute some inbound hypothesis for the project.
Any suggestions?
