Concept – state the concept you are trying to teach clearly and concisely – avoid big architectural or governmental words (think Hemmingway!). No acronyms without good reason and explanation

Attention – who in construction phase needs to know this – eg plumbing rough in; framing; drywall

Action – what do I need to do

CAD Detail file: (insert a link to a CAD detail – in future, designer can download new one to replace their old boilerplate details ) some of these already exist on line and can be linked here and to CAD button at right

www.ecobuilding.org/xxxxx.cad1b3

Video link www.ecobuilding.org/xxxxx.video/ (insert a link to video related to this item. Ed committee will approove videos. Many exist on line and can be linked here and to video button at right

HOW TO MAKE A TFC – blank TEMPLATE slides below

Step 1: Teach your detail with words• Follow the concept / attention

/action pattern• Use simple, engaging language –

speak to the trades and the public

Say “flashings that shed water” rather than “ moisture management details”!• Try to be concise enough to fit

the box with the font size standard

• Headings are Bold Step 1B:• CAD detail file – so we can start

replacing the boilerplate details out there with smarter ones!

• if you have a detail file check with the TFC coordinator. We do not have this function fully built yet but for now a simple web link can be inserted if there is an online source. CAD files will likely be posted on external sites and linked here with a video button. There are many already on line that we can link to.

Step 1A:• Video Link - The concept here is

that member experts can create short video clips illustrating the detail and introduce themselves as knowledge leaders. Videos will likely be posted on external sites and linked here with a video button. We can also link direct to the best videos already posted on line.

Step 2: Teach your detail with a Drawing , Chart, or Graphic• For construction Details, a

simplified cross section view is best.

• Simple section drawings can be created right in power point draw tools, or imported as a .jpg picture file from another program.

• This box is 3 units wide to 3.5 units high. If you use the same shape (aspect ratio) your drawing will fit just right.

• Please use original drawings and charts – not copied from the web. Anything copied should be public property or you should have the right to publish it and fully accred it

• simplify the drawing and use color to make details clear

Step 2:Charts and Graphs - In some cases these may be better than a section drawing, especially in concept cards, materials, etc. • For Example, a bar graph

showing 1/10 the energy use may have the most impact on understanding what a Passive House is.

• A chart comparing the Global Warming Potential (GWP) of several types of foam insulation would be very useful

Try to find the most Elegant, simple visuals that really get the point across!

Step 3: Photos – don’t use photos that are copied from the web or other people’s publications unless by specific permission. Credit photos you get from others with a caption set inside the lower part of the photo space

Try to use photos from your own or other real NW projects that are recent.Use low resolution for web site photos - 150-300 dpi is OK

So we can make a print version of the TFC, please send medium high resolution copies of all photos in your card to the NWEBG TFC coordinator. Photos for print should be 400 dpi or higher

Step 3:Take a photo of the wrong way to do this detail.

If you need help finding a photo, check with the TFC coordinator or other contacts . We want to use original photos from NW projects if possible

Photos must be yours to use or be fully credited and with permission of the owner to be published in a TFC.

Photos must be minimum resolution of 150 dpi

STEP 7 - COPY AND INSERT TABS

Use these expanded borders to copy and paste the block labels that relate to your specific card

subject

If you copy and paste them without moving them, they will center on the same tab and show as an expanded tab. Select more than one label if it

applies then copy.

The tabs can then be used in print versions as a way to find sections

in a stack of cards

USE MORE THAN ONE TAB IF NEEDED

EXAMPLE: I have designed a TFC on how Insulate foundation footings for Passive House, I would copy and paste each of 3 expanded tabs to my card:

STEP 8 - PROPOSED LETTER &NUMBER

The TFC coordinator will work with you on assigning a letter/number code for the top left corner. You may propose a code in this spot if you like.

These simple codes will help people identify and find your card

Examples would codes like:

AS 1.0 - air sealing detail 1AS 1.2 - air sealing detail on

similar assemblyGRF 2.0 - green roofEXC 3.0 - 3rd card on excavation

Concept – text for concept

Attention – text for who should pay attention (GC, sub, architect, etc.)

Action – details for actual steps to implement this strategy

Alternate Step: The next three slides are alternate layouts, if your concept or detail does not fit the TFC template, Try these alternate layouts!

In each case, use the instructions above to enter the text section at upper left, a cross section or chart, and photos that show your detail.

Remember to use photos that teach, rather than just decorate!

THAT’S IT! The next several slides are Templates in 3 formats to

start your own TFC!

Please submit to the TFC coordinator for peer review

and publication – and ask for help if you need it!

Concept – warmer indoor air in winter rises with the “stack effect” and escapes into attics. Create a continuous air barrier at the insulated ceiling plane

Attention - Framing or Punch list

Schedule - Pre Insulation

Action - reduce hidden air leakage from hidden chases and openings from interior walls to attics. Pre-rock before building soffits or use plywood., or rigid foam board, carefully sealed at edges. Seal soffit ends if they meet exterior

Use non toxic foams and caulks. Use Fire rated caulks and sheet metal at flues/chimneys

Use foam with no CFC or HFC propellants

Concept – In multi-level homes the stack effect creates pressure differences , and thus air flow into the attic from many cracks and holes. Seal the partition top plates to make the whole ceiling act like a continuous air barrier. This reduces heat loss, moisture in the attic, and the “draw” of air from the crawl space or garage.

Attention – Drywall or Punch list crew following drywall – after lids but before walls

Action – reduce hidden air pathways along plates and uneven wood joints.

Seal top plates on both sides to drywall with continuous bead of glue, caulk, foam, or gasket at all partition walls
